Dàna: Scotland’s Wild Side

Anns a' phod-chraolaidh seo, tha na gillean Dàna Coinneach agus Hamish a’ cuimhneachadh le toileachas air an turas a ghabh iad gu ruige Eilean Rùm, àrd os cionn na neòil a’ coiseachd An Cuiltheann Rumach le seallaidhean do-chreidsinneach. ‘S dòcha nach eil An Cuiltheann Rumach a cheart cho aithnichte ‘s a tha An Cuiltheann Sgitheanach, ach tha eireachdas anns na slèibhtean seo nach faicear an àite sam bith eile. Tha na gillean ag aontachadh gur e seo fear dheth na tursan a b’ fhèarr a bh’ aca riamh. Deagh dhòigh gus crìoch a chuir air an t-sreath!

In this podcast our bold boys Coinneach and Hamish reminisce with fondness about their trip to the Isle of Rum, traversing the incredible skyline of the Rum Cullin, high above the clouds, enjoying the unforgettable views. The Rum Cullin might be less well-traversed than their Skye counterparts, but these mountains possess a unique beauty to be found nowhere else. The boys give this adventure a resounding 10 out of 10, agreeing that it was their best trip ever. A perfect end to a superb series!

Tha na gillean Dàna Coinneach agus Hamish a’ cnuasachadh air an turas gu ruige Beinn Sulabhein. Cluinnear dè cho doirbh ’s a bha e dhaibh a bhith a’ ruith druim Beinn Sulabhein bho aon cheann chun a’ chinn eile, a’ fiolmadh aig an aon àm agus a’ strì an-aghaidh biastagan mhòra!

Tha ìomhaigh nan trì stùcan aig Beinn Sulabhein air fear dheth na seallaidhean dràmadach an Alba. A’ seasamh a-mach a mòinteach Asainte, tha am beann seo agus na tha mu chuairt oirre, a’ tabhann chothroman gun chrìoch agus cuairtean-dànachd.

Our Dàna boys Coinneach and Hamish chat through their trip to Ben Suilven. They talk about the difficult attempt to run the iconic Suliven ridge from one end to the other, film at the same time, whilst also contending with huge scary insects!

The three-peaked silhouette of Suilven is one of the most dramatic sights found in Scotland’s landscape. Jutting straight up from the Assynt moorland, the mountain and its surroundings offer limitless opportunities for exploration and adventure.

Anns a’ chlàradh seo tha na gillean Dàna Coinneach agus Hamish a’ bruidhinn air dìreadh is riuth thar raontan is slèibhtean Gleann Comhann. Tha sgìre Gleann Comhann air a bhith na raon-cluiche fad linntinn dhan an fheadhainn a tha dèidheil air beanntan agus stùcan àrda. Tha na gillean a’ toirt tarraing air an àrd sreapadair Èireannach Matt Glenn a bha còmhla ri Coinneach air an t-slighe. Ann an sìde chaochlaideach chaidh aig Coinneach agus Matt air sgeir chas a shreap agus dh’fheuch na gillean Dàna seo ris an gnothach a dhèanamh air a’ bheinn ainmeil ‘An t-Aonach Eagach’. Mar is àbhaist bha spòrs gu leòr an luib a ghnothaich, gu seach àiridh air cùlaibh a’ chamara, mar a chluinnear anns a’ chlàradh seo.

In this podcast Coinneach and Hamish chat about the full range of what the Glencoe mountains have to offer. Glencoe has been a playground for the vertically inclined for well over a century. The guys chat about being joined in this episode by the Irish alpinist Matt Glenn. We hear the boys tell all the ins and outs about the changeable, challenging Scottish weather while Coinneach and Matt attempted to ascend a legendary rock route and contend with the infamous ‘Devil’s Staircase’. As ever there was plenty of fun to be had behind the camera as is plainly evident from this podcast!
