Welcome back to another video!! For the first time this year I'm bringing you all along on a hike in the Scottish Highlands. A hike that has been high on my list for some time now and it didn't disappoint!

Here is a rough route that I used on this day but please use this as a reference only and plan your own day out properly. Whether, ground conditions, experience and navigation skills should all be taken into account if you plan on attempting this route. Please plan your own route, check the weather and ensure you have the correct gear and fitness level/experience before heading out:

Good video Alex - thanks for posting. Bidean is a complex and demanding peak - especially in foul weather - and your words of advice are spot on.

Nice one mate. It's a good fell, and has a good few winter routes on it.

Stunning, my second favourite place after Skye, not that I could get that high up, not got the legs or balance these days so thank you for sharing so I can see it from high up as well as lower down!! 🙂

Simply stunning chap. Personally I don't plan on doing the route in the near future (life is just too busy 😅) but I still stayed till the end and watched the breakdown and I was very interested in all your advice, very insightful and relevant to anything you plan to do in the hills/mountains especially in the autumn/winter months. Thanks again 👍🏻

Was there with my wife last week! Amazing place. Not used to hiking in mountains though, and we thought the ascent at 9:00 was super scary, with the steep angle and loose gravel. Turned back after reaching the crest and having our lives flashing before our eyes haha. Are those common conditions for these trails?

Met a lot of people both on their way up and down. Kids, dogs, trail runners. A real ego check. Need to go back for revenge sometime!
