Hi Graeme, Yes, that was me indeed you spotted - I got the message on Sunday, a shame I missed you :( Kinpurney Hill is one of my favourite walks locally and often ends with a pint or two in the MacDonald Arms - not just my local but also my next door neighbours :lol: Do drop in if you are passing. ...

Names and dates were scattered all over the hut ranging back to as far as 1938 - John B? Surely not! :lol: Have some respect for your elders, youth :lol: I doubt if the hut was even there last time I was up that way :wink: As ever a highly entertaining report. Interesting to hear what the three of ...

Hi Milesy, An interesting report, thanks. We must have been very near you at the Snow gates - we were stopped on the road coming out from the Spittle. I was tempted out for a days skiing by a friend who convinced me it would make a nice change from wading through soft snow - it did :lol: We admired ...

Great reports all round - thanks :D I only started exploring the Sidlaws 3 years back when I moved North of Perth - they are a grand wee set of hills. Maybe if I have grandchildren in the future I'll have the excuse to enjoy that extreme sledging. Until then I'd better get on with exploring the stan...

The book described it as “ideal for a short afternoon or an evening leg-stretcher”. The hill that is, not the pub! From my memories of days and evenings with Andy it could have referred to either :lol: An entertaining report but I can't help but feel you've missed a trick with Lucy. Can't you train...

A lovely report, Seamus, thanks. Went up Ben Ledi on New Years Eve in time for sunset and moonrise!! I was on the other side of Loch Lubnaig earlier on New Years Eve and, unfortunately, had 'less than ideal' conditions conditions on the top of Beinn Each. I must have seen the nice weather you were e...

Ah lovely

I knew it was out there somewhere

I mistimed my day - ended up in a blizzard up the top of Beinn Each above Loch Lubnaig only to see lots of wonderfully clear peaks (like yours!) on the drive back.

Thanks for the report, superb photos

All the best,

John

Nice report - thanks. One of the hills I really keep meaning to get up. I was planning heading into that area today (Beinn Each and Stuc a Chroin from Loch Lubnaig) but woke to several inches of snow and the A9 closed near Dunblane. Spent the morning digging the driveway clear instead :( Mind you I ...

Great report again john 8) stunning pics I looked at the pic marked meall dearg behind amulree and knew i had seen a similar shot on the "wheres the pic" thread it looks like they are taken from the same spot Cheers Alan. Well remembered - I'd forgotten! I actually managed to recognise th...

Thanks and a Happy Christmas to one and all. Santa was good to me. He brought me a bottle of Highland Park. How COULD he have known

To be honest I almost didn’t venture out – what a waste that would have been! I was supposed to be heading to Ben Vrackie with a friend but he rang early to say that he’d been unwell during the night and couldn’t make it. The weather didn’t look that great so I got on with a few jobs around home unt...

A true epic by the sounds of things!
And a really gripping report - thanks

All the best,

John

Just finished reading these great accounts of what must have been a marvellous experience. Brought back lots of memories - especially the weather early on. I once did a trek through the highlands: 3 dry days out of 21 :lol: Thanks for taking the time to put the reports together. Loved them! All the ...

I'm envious. I once took the family cycling around the island but have never had the chance to do any walking there.
Lovely report, thanks!

All the best,

John

LOL to the frozen bike! :lol: Hilarious! Could have been nasty though... never thought of a pedal bike freezing up! Fantastic report and photos again... I'm literally itching to get at those, especially since reading your reports... unfortunately, I think it will be May as I'm fully booked up till ...
