Balach aig a’ Mhullach

A young boy from Skye takes part in a challenge to climb mountains - together equal in height to Mount Everest.

Twelve year old Lachlan from the Isle of Skye has taken on a special challenge, with a group of friends from his local church. They are to climb a succession of mountains, which together are equal in height to Mount Everest. As we join them, they have only two climbs left – but this includes Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles.

Commissioned as part of the European Broadcasting Union’s I Can Do It film scheme for children, this short documentary follows Lachlan as he embarks on the most daunting leg of the task. We meet him, his family and friends throughout the preparation stage, and finally travel with him as he tackles Ben Nevis. With stunning aerial photography, Lachlan takes us with him on a challenge that few 12 year olds will ever face.

Tha Lachlan, aois dĂ  bhliadhna dheug Ă s an Eilean SgĂŹtheanach, a gabhail dĂčbhlan sĂČnraichte os lĂ imh. CĂČmhla ri buidheann de charaidean Ă s eaglais a bhaile, feumaidh e diofar bheanntan Albannach a shreap, a tha cĂČmhla cho Ă rd ri Mount Everest. Nuair a tha sinn a’ tachairt ris, chan eil aige ach na dhĂ  eile ri dhol – ach sĂš aon dhiu Beinn Neibheis, an tĂš is Ă irde ann am Breatainn.

Chaidh am fiolm goirid seo a riochdachadh mar phĂ irt den sceama EĂČrpach “I Can Do It,” a tha leantainn clann air feadh na Roinn-EĂČrpa ‘s iad a feuchainn air diofar dhĂčbhlain leithid spĂČrs, gniomhachas, agus a bhith dĂŹon an Ă rainneachd. Le seallaidhean Ă llainn an Eilein SgĂŹtheanaich agus tir mĂČr na GĂ idhealtachd, tha Lachlan fhĂšin gar stiĂčireadh tro na ceumannan mu dheireadh dhan euchd aige.
