Film description and information below. ___________________________________________ Another fantastic hillwalking trip with an overnight wildcamp in the amazing Scottish, Arrochar Alps. This group of 5 Munro's are fantastic and offer some excellent walks and views. They are also ideal for people taking there first outings into the mountains. Got to the summit of Beinn Ime that stands proud at 1011 metres and is the highest of all the Munro tops in this group. Passed along the side of the Cobbler. It is also known as Ben Arthur and has the most distinctive outline of any mountain in the Southern Highlands and makes a fantastic short day out. Spent the night with an early 5am rise to catch the sunrise breaking the mountain tops and was worth dragging myself out of a cosy sleeping bag for. Hikes like this are what makes wild camping so addictive for me anyway and cant wait to get out again. Feel that the Cobbler really stole the show and may feature in a future summit camp. Also managed to film some local wildlife with some short footage of the deer in the area using my drone. ___________________________________________ Despite their modest height, walking and climbing in the Scottish mountains may be made treacherous by their latitude and exposure to Atlantic weather systems. Even in summer, conditions can be atrocious; thick fog, strong winds, driving rain and freezing summit temperatures are commonplace. The content shown in my films are just my own opinions, thoughts and as a way to record my trips. Walking and hiking in the Scottish mountains & hills can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. Hazards you may encounter include: Open moorland Terrain, few distinct landmarks, difficult navigation. Crags and steep drops near summits. Boggy areas. River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. Snow and ice on summits even in early summer. Sudden changes in weather conditions. Temperature decreases by 1 degree C for every 100m of ascent. Note: You are responsible for your own safety. Are you fit enough to complete your chosen walk in the available time? Ensure you have the correct clothing for the changeable Scottish weather. Know where you are going on the walk and follow the route on your map. At the very least carry a map & compass, survival bag, torch, whistle and small first aid kit. Ensure you have enough food plus emergency rations. Cold temperatures will reduce the life of your batteries. In severe winter conditions you must carry an ice axe. You are also recommended to carry crampons. Learn and know how to use your equipment. _________________________________________________________________ Filmed entirely with 'GoPro Hero 4' in 4K - 'Removu M1+A1' Be aware that all film content and information is copyright and cannot be used for commercial or public purposes.

Could you tell please what kind of white fluffy flowers are at the beginning of the video (1:14)?
I saw them on the Pap of Glencoe last week and can not find any info. -
hello, been enjoying your adventures on YouTube. can you tell me the make of the tent you use in this video? recently bought a southern cross 2 but not convinced re: head room at each end. The one you use here looks great if it's not too heavy. thanks and keep the vids coming.

Truly inspiring Ray. Beautifully filmed, loved the scenery. The clouds looked full of rain amazing how they passed you by. We have walked the cobbler some years ago and very much enjoyed it. Your drone footage is great and to follow the deer too! looks like the tent is a winner as well. I am hoping to do at least one wild camp this month lol, its been a funny year so far (In a good way) Your work is a real treat to watch Ray and so are you my friend :) Tim

Hi Ray, a fabulous video, I see you have a spy in the sky as well now!! I hope you have many happy days out on the hills flying it. We were over in Scotland a fortnight ago, excellent weather and managed to climb Ben Nevis, but no time for filming. Best leave that to you guys who live locally!! M&S, Wicklow

Great stuff Ray , yes you did get good footage ! That looks like the spot me and Billy camped at , i can't think of many other suitable spots. Great minds......i've been thinking about a 2 night winter camp up there for a couple of years , Cobbler and Ben Ime summits or near. Talked to Billy and Sinclair about it or even do it solo , got to get back on some solo trips. Superb footage from 9.12 !!

Lovely moody skies on this one Ray. Nice area, only been up Ben Lomond so must put that right. Another beautiful film. Thanks for sharing. Mick.
