Is this really one of Scotland's most remote mountains?
I found some information suggesting this (and its neighbour) was the most remote Munro in Scotland (taken by the distance from the shortest and sensible walking route from a public road or railway station). However it all depends on definitions of remote or wild places (and also the criteria used to measure remoteness!). I am almost certain there will be lots of "experts" in the comments suggesting which and what hills are remote or not, but I am just having some fun and discussing the subject in this little (non serious) film - PS never take yourself seriously, especially when commenting on remote mountains!! lol). Remote , wild , isolated , whatever you want to call it, it is a fair trek to get there by Scottish Mountains standards and the bike definitely came in useful. However the fact that I was doing this as a half day to get back to the boss in the campervan exemplifies my point about what maybe remote and what is not.... IMHO there are many more isolated and remote feeling mountains , but that's just my own opinion ;)
