I was lucky enough to spend 5 days up in the North West Highlands of Scotland in May 2017 on a filming road trip with the ultimate aim of hiking up to the top of Suilven.
We had wall to wall sunshine, zero wind and no midges for all 5 days we were up there, however a rogue wildfire just outside of Lochinver encroached on Suilven and we had to change our plans. With the fire residing we were able to attempt to summit the mountain, however due to the flames still on the summit ridge, we weren’t able to get to the true summit. We still were able to get up onto the ridge and soak in the dramatic views all around.
This video is a highlight of all the drone footage from those 5 days… hope you enjoy!
