Re: Meall Glas and Sgiath Chui using a bike

Hi Msp1987 I can only tell you I climbed these two on Wednesday 30 September in glorious weather, I walked in from the Glen Lochay side and parked just before Kenknock farm. The track all the way to the other side of the ford would be perfect for a bike and would save around 1 hour in total, There w...

Re: Ben Cruachan & Stob Diamh - Hollow Mountain ridge

Good report Denfinella and great Photos, I did these two on the Wednesday after you and although we got occasional views we also got heavy showers, isn't that stile at a strange angle as you said it definitely required some focus, a great couple of hills though and I'm looking forward to doing the o...

Hi I am heading to Skye with my walking club, West Lothian Mountaineering at the minute we are planning to camp at Sligachan but might yet go to Glenbrittle.

Re: Rucksack

Check out the Lidle website on Monday 17 June they are selling a 70L rucksack which looks a good bit of kit and at £27.99 I reckon you can't go wrong. I have no association with Lidle stores it just seemed a good buy.

Re: Advice on Kinlochleven/Glencoe walks

Suggest Buachaille Etive Beag would also suit you and the Munros in Glen Etive such as Ben Starav and surrounding hills are a good days outing. Remember the Skin So Soft for the midges.

Three Fannaichs

It was a clear, crisp, sunny day with wall to wall blue. It looked set to be a cracker. We set off from the edge of Loch A’ Bhraoin on a nice flat trail, and with a gentle incline for the first 3 Km, we could take in the winter wonderland on the snow covered peaks, highlighted dramatically against t...
