teaandpies: apart from the first day that was pretty hard just for the amount of ascent, most of it was no harder than i'd expect a normal 20k day to be. We got into a nice rythm and by the end were used to getting up and just walking.

Speedtrip: Yeah that will have been us you saw on the 10th. We saw a few people on the ridge from the Aonachs so that might have been you.

Gaining a reputation as the outdoorsy one at your school has some serious upsides. Andy Duff from East Lothian council was looking for some keen students to join him for a trip. The idea was to climb all nine of Scotland’s 4000 foot mountains in one continuous and self-powered trip. This was of cour...

With MWIS predicting "an almost certain" chance of cloud free munros, it was time to dip into the "keep it for a good day" list of mountains. Top of that list was Bidean. We arrived in Glencoe to perfect blue skies and an already warming sun. I'm not one for writing much and plen...
