Myself and a friend did this hill last year and it was one of the most enjoyable we have done, it had a bit of everything, sure I counted around 7 of these plank bridges

Also loved the Head for the Hills videos, was really sad when I heard he had passed away, a true character and his videos were fantastic. I urge anyone who hasn't seen them to give them a watch on YouTube.

Did this walk a few years ago, stunning waterfall, a hidden gem. Pity about the bridge, hopefully fixed soon....and yes those names!

Fantastic report, I really enjoyed reading that, it was quite an adventure!

Thats a shame, I did this walk in March/April and it was lovely, no overgrown bits at all and quite a good path as far as I remember, we did it Crieff to Muthill or Mut Hill as my friend called it

Congratulations!

SO that is what these hills look like! Thanks posting the photos, myself and friends were up there on Saturday and couldn't see a thing, took a right soaking as well. I think you must have wrong day on walk report

Oh thats good to know about Trekkers Lodge! Glad they haven't done away with it, that will explain why we couldn't book it for May. Agree the wee bunkhouse was special, had a few memorable weekends there.

Or the Saddle Mountain hostel at Invergarry, just half an hours drive from Glen Shiel. Not sure the Kintail Lodge still has the Trekkers accommodation, I know the wee Bunkhouse is gone

Not just the Kingshouse that have upped there prices, had a look at the new Cluanie Inn website, rooms available from July onwards, a whopping £204-240 for a room for the night?? Now owned by Mars Hospitality group based in Mumbai. Not even a bunkhouse to stay

Just back from Glenmore and Clegs and midges were rife, feet and ankles are a mess, very aggressive this year, a downside to the good weather. Thank goodness I was in the hostel and not camping!

Stayed in the wee bunkhouse at the weekend and heard that the new owners are planning to extend the hotel and turn the Trekkers lodge into staff accommodation and that the wee bunkhouse is possibly being turned into a café for coach parties?! Anyone have any other info on this? Be sad to see them go!

Did the Ben Alder 4 munros at beginning of Glasgow Fair fortnight, scorching weather and never saw another person camped or on the hills the 2 days I was there, expected to see at least 1 or 2??

Would also suggest the Minigaig, from Blair Atholl to Kingussie. Or if you can manage 3 days Blair Atholl to Kincraig by Glen Tilt then Glen Feshie.

Great trip report, I agree that climbing those hills gives a sense of remoteness (I never saw a soul), the Lancet Edge looks pretty cool for scrambling. I did these the week before you also in scorchio weather! I have a very similar photo from the walk out of the tree by the river.
