A few weeks a go i took the short drive to Tinto hill, one of the first hills i climbed as a kid. The conditions were perfect, well, almost. I enjoyed sunshine for much of the day while seeing the rain clouds pouring onto the surrounding areas. Luckily i was spared the worst of the storms and was rewarded with some fantastic sights.
A few weeks later and we’re all stuck at home until the forseeable future, makes days like the one on Tinto even more special.
Hope you enjoy and stay safe everyone!
Kris.

Love a wee jaunt up Tinto. I did Tinto before I started bagging Munros – I got the most amazing cloud inversion, which I think is the reason I started my hillwalking addiction.
Nicely edited as always mate, you could make magic audio books too.
I took my wee sister up Tinto before her charity walk up Ben Nevis. Culter Fell is a nice hill to do in that area too.
Right Kris tell the truth that was yesterday wasnt it? LOL! Nice film again mate loved the views you got, Speaking of i was actually looking at that windfarm behind the rainbow @4:35 just over an hour ago from the Eaglesham moors just south of Glasgow. Pity i didnt have any camera's with me as i missed a peach of a sunset. Thanks for posting as it helps numb this mad stay at home situation. All the best Kris, peter :)))
Tinto Hill is a hill I have a high interest in and I wan't to visit there for a walk once this virus is over. Not sure what its like for camping on especially if the car park is strict with overnight parking. I really enjoy your editing and talking over the video. It's something different and something I don't see many do so well done on mixing it up. I remember those winds last month Kris, but I'd rather have those storms back than this virus that's going on the now. Take care, ATB Gaz.
Nice one Kris, you've also got a new fan in Clara, she thought the video was very cool and asked me if it was in real life lol

That was superb. You captured the drama of this special place beautifully. It reminded me of the summit of Plynlimon the source of the Wye in the Cambrian Mounatins in Wales. There are a couple of videos on my channel. Lovely and fresh up there – the contrast between white and the green of below was indeed thrilling. All the best. Mark

Good hill especially in the snow. The Settlements are interesting too.great video mate
Done it today pal… brilliant videos
Gearing up for munro bagging end of april…any recommendations to start with… wanna go for over night maybe glencoe way get an overnight…what you think?
I live in Easterhouse and for years I've looked at the big hill in the distance, And finally got to walk up it during the week, Very enjoyable walk.
Done Tinto for the first time this month. Amazing climb. Next up is Ben Cleuch.
Stared at the hill all my life, said I would climb it and never did. Well today was the day. I'm not a hillwalker so kind of underestimated the hill, but the view you are awarded with was worth the sore leg's and feet. Also I shattered both my heels on a fall from height 10 years ago which made it an even greater victory for me.
Went up it to the top when l was fifteen 1980
7:00 in you quote "Tinto Hill never fails to disappoint":(. Meaning the exact opposite of what you intended.
On a more serious note, impressive channel, very presentable, easy listening, you bring the walks to life with your descriptions, subbed and added to the great community of hillwalking who cover the Scottish Hills, all the best
I think tinto had a lot of historical cultural significance.
It almost looks like the remains of a massive structure.
I took my kids and they loved it too, I really have a soft spot for both Goat fell and Tinto hill but when I took the kids to Goat fell the weather was against us so decided we wouldn't do it, Maybe one day we will get back but at least we have Tinto together.
This hill killt me I went up with my class on a school trip today and my it hurts
Ah Tinto! My all time favourite hill.
On our annual school summer holidays, my brother and me would be shipped off from London to Carluke for our six weeks of joy.
Grandad would walk us up to the top and back down. We loved it! It was the 1960’s.
Then, almost fifteen years to the day, I traveled up to Tinto to race up and down it,in the annual race! Age fifty, it was my first race of this nature. I was up and down in 46 minutes.
Thanks for this nice wee film, that strangely, came up on my you tube feed..
