Creag Dubh

Creag Dubh in autumn colours looked beautiful today. I met some wild goats on the way up and down and only one person at the start of the walk, taking pictures of the colourful landscape. I decided to do the route up clockwise and when up I decided to actually come back the same way. The rocks were ...

Good hill for any weather

The snow was coming to the hills today and I was looking for a hill with straightforward route and not too long. This hill is perfect for any weather. Nothing exciting maybe but the views are still nice and the falling snow with the howling wind actually made the surroundings more beautiful. A quick...

Re: A night away.

They say that if you hesitate for longer than 5 seconds you most likely will say no to something. For instance, if you hear a beloved song and you want to get on the dance floor but you feel a bit self-conscious. The first 5 seconds are crucial for spontaneous action and going for a swim that mornin...

A night away.

Four of us drove from Aviemore on a beautiful Sunday morning(late morning:)).We were very lucky with the weather.It rained every day for the past two weeks but the sun came out just in time for us to do the walk in glorious weather. That made the very boggy hike pleasant and the views towards Skye w...

Fantastic Fara

The walk started with the stress of trying to find a parking space. The train station doesn't have a lot of spaces for cars and the street that runs along it was already full of cars, no parking and residents only signs. I drove back through the village hoping to find some parking nearby but there s...

Derry Cairngorm via Ben Macdui from ski centre car park

I've been told Derry Cairngorm is boring. Yet, the hike is one of the most beautiful hill walks I've ever done.

Heather, sheep, no bog.

Great little hill with views towards Cairngorms stretching from Ben Avon to Bynack More.

Burma Road

A good, Saturday morning dog walk. Just at the first gate there is an honesty box with homemade baking. Prepare £1. Sheep all around. We walked from the centre of Aviemore. We took the first underpass after the La Taverna Restaurant and then the path that runs along A9 which eventually joins the roa...

Mullach Clach a Bhlair

Glen Feshie is always stunning. Some heather was already turning pink and purple and in few weeks the whole glen should be looking at its best. The walk is very easy as the path is mostly a landy track. However it is quite steep in places. The track between Mullach and Carn Ban Mor is better than mo...

Schehallion

Beautiful day for a walk. Very good path all the way until the boulder field. Stunning views. There are toilets at the car park.

Re: Sgurr na Stri

Thank you for the comment. I really like what you have said about miss-spending time. Wise words. I am fairly new to hill walking and at the moment I still walk mainly for the views (and peace of mind:) ) so when I read about Sgurr na Stri I just could not think about any other hikes. Also, some of ...

Sgurr na Stri

We went for the views and we got them:). A very straightforward walk. On the last section of the route we took a path on the left hand side, which is not on the map. It is a good path. Coming down, we went down on the other side but that path drops down quite a bit to go up again so I much prefer th...
