The incredible power of awe - Sgor Gaoith winter summit camp

The power of awe , and it's amazingly beneficial & important effects on our nervous systems in something I've come to understand more recently. In fact there's a professor called Dacher Keltner who has written a fascinating book on it. And it made me think – those of us who spend a lot of time i...

Re: Overdoing it again - "Malky-assisted" Beinn Ghobhlach ca

Read this thinking it was a recent one, and also "This can't be right, surely she's on the mend." In retrospect maybe you tried to get out again too soon. Who knows. Thank heavens this isn't how it is now. Gairloch Bob. Someone who worked for me had ME, or that is what she eventually self...

Re: Overdoing it again - "Malky-assisted" Beinn Ghobhlach ca

Hi - Fabulous pictures, great report. I am lucky to live not so far from this intriguing little 'peak' (it's one of several sails - pron. sarl, that are in the area. Sail Mhor just over the way is one such, the Big Heel. Like a giant stomped his heel into a giant sand(stone) castle! But my interest...

Re: WH Summer Meet - 8-10 JULY 2022

Malky & I will not be coming to this meet. The money side of it should be sorted but it would be useful to have the following: - someone willing to be point of contact with the Bunkhouse over the weekend - someone to organise the quiz (if no-one steps forward then there won't be one!) - there i...

Re: WH Summer Meet - 8-10 JULY 2022

Hi Never been on a WH meet so couple of questions if that’s ok while I double check my availability. I’ve completed almost 200 Munro’s, many solo so quite experienced In the hills but would be cautious about talking these remote Munro’s on my own. Are there groups who have plans for the days that I...

Re: WH Summer Meet - Inverie 10-12 July 2020 NOW 8-10 JULY 2

Hi Jackie, I've got my name down for this but will be unable to make it this year as most of my annual leave from work is already committed to other stuff and unfortunately this was the trip that had to be sacrificed. If you manage to get my bed sold to another taker then just put any refund money ...

Sithean Mor & Gruinard Bay - over-extended again

The weather for the weekend was looking ace, so we decided to head out towards Gairloch and the west coast. Neither of us had been that far around the coast for ages so enjoyed the drive. We parked up at the Flowerdale carpark just before Gairloch. It was overcast but nice as we headed down the path...

Snowy wander

It was cold, there was lots of snow and I was feeling rubbish but not as rubbish as sometimes, so we decided to do a walk that Malky had been suggesting for a while but I'd never really felt up to. It was an absolutely stunning day and despite the freezing temperatures, the sun made it relatively wa...

A glimpse of the Fannichs

A good day in amoungst a lot of bad, Malky suggested using the bikes to get to Loch Fannich. This was somewhere I'd never been to so I was keen - we've discovered that I can generally do more on my bike than on foot and it gives me a feeling of having actually achieved something. Of course, this wor...

Warrior III meets Beinn Bhuidhe Mor

Another day where my ambitions were bigger than my abilities. We had been up the hills behind Culloden when they had been covered in snow so we hoped that this trip might be a bit easier underfoot at least :lol: We parked up in the lay-by almost opposite the track to Finglack and set off along the t...

This probably would have been lovely on a better day....

Another day, still feeling rubbish. We thought we’d go up a small hill near Newtonmore, but as we got further down the road and the weather was looking a bit iffy we got uninspired and just decided to go up Craigellachie and get ice cream at Miele’s afterwards :lol: We parked up at the youth hostel ...
