With an opportunity for a week off towards the end of April, Paul and I looked to chase the best weather in Stan the Van and ended up in Ullapool in the North West Highlands. Our first adventure was to pop up Quinag in North Assynt, picking up three Corbetts in Spidean Coinich, Sail Ghorm and Sail Gharbh. Quinag is an amazing range with a little bit of everything, all with the fantastic view over Canisp and Suilven. Although the weather was mixed, it was a brilliant way to start our holiday. It was the first 3 mountains in Scotland climbed on the Channel. With 723 tops over 2,000ft when you count the Munros, Corbetts and Grahams, there are many more still to do!
About Rudolph’s Mountains
Welcome to the Rudolph’s Mountains channel, which records my journey to visit all the mountains in England and Wales over 2000ft, known as The Nuttalls. They were named after John & Anne Nuttall, who researched and created the initial list of tops, and published quite excellent books on how you could visit them all. I don’t always follow their routes, as I prefer to research the route myself, but I always use their route as a starting point.
I have been making movies of my days in the mountains for a couple of years now, initially just to share my adventures with friends and family. I can’t get out all the time, due to family and work commitments, so it’s going to take many years to get through them all, health permitting.
Each Episode is edited down from the original movie to around 30 minutes or less and then released on a Saturday at 12 noon. There won’t be a movie every week though. Each Episode has subtitles, as even I can’t understand what I’m saying half of the time!
If you are planning to venture out on the hills yourself, please make sure you research your route and that you are properly prepared. Always check the mountain weather and ground condition forecast, but don’t trust it! Mountain weather can be unpredictable, so prepare for the worst. Enjoy the mountains, but always take care so that you return home safely.
Thanks for watching.
