Beinn Fhada: the Long Hill from Morvich

We had a decidedly cold spring this year, but I had a good run of weekends with no work or family commitments, so despite a rather mixed weather forecast I set off for the second time in a fortnight to drive up north after work on a Friday evening, so that I could try to get a Munro done on the Satu...

A' Ghlas-bheinn: a surprisingly rocky wee brute!

I have to apologise that once again, I've gotten well behind with posting my WRs for this year :oops: - this one is from back in late April! Anyway, here it is now, and hopefully I'll get some more written up over the next couple of weeks. When I started doing Munros about 12 years or so ago, I hone...

Re: "At home, he sits on a spike!" - visiting the Whiteadder

The whole circuit is described very nicely by Nick Williams in the wee "Southern Uplands" book from that Pocket Mountains series - unfortunately I can't draw it on a map for you however, since the "Draw Your Route" tool is no longer available on the website ... You can still do ...

"At home, he sits on a spike!" - visiting the Whiteadders

You will probably remember that episode of "Blackadder" (from the Elizabethan series, "Blackadder Goes Forth") where Rowan Atkinson's drunken-reprobate title character has to host his rich auntie, Lady Whiteadder, and her husband Nathaniel, in the hope of a juicy inheritance. Unf...

The North Loch Mullardoch Munros - a cautionary tale

Confession time I suppose - although I've always intended to post this WR, it's taken me some time to pluck up the courage to do so, as it definitely wasn't my finest hour. So let's get the main points of this rather sorry tale out of the way at the start :oops: - although I did narrowly avoid the M...

Braeriach etc ticked, but a Devil of a job on Carn a' Mhaim!

To start with a quibble - whatever happened to the extremely useful "Draw Your Route" tool that previously featured on the Walkhighlands website as an option for Walk Reports :? ? A dinosaur like myself has no idea how to "Upload [a] gpx file" from a Garmin-type device, so the &q...

Re: "Sandy, Why-y-y-y?" - Beinn na Gainimh & Auchnafree Hill

I tried a similar round some 4 years ago - key word being 'tried'. I climbed up Sron Bealaidh from the W but got freaked out by the electric fence between me and Beinn na Gainimh, so I decided to leave it be for the moment. Then I had to get over (under) that same fence anyway when descending SE fr...

"Sandy, Why-y-y-y?" - Beinn na Gainimh & Auchnafree Hill

Another Walk Report that I should have written up a while ago :oops: ! - this was from back in April this year. It was still a bit early in the year for Munros, for a lightweight like me anyway, but I fancied a bit of a longer outing than I'd managed on my two March excursions, so I thought that I'd...

Two easy Corbetts in March sunshine - what's not to like?

Yet again, I've gotten a bit behind with my Walk Reports: this one is from back in March 2022 :oops: . Although these two Drumochter Corbetts are neither the pointiest nor the most challenging of hills, they gave a surprisingly enjoyable Day Oot, in lovely early spring sunshine. Truly, what's not to...

Normal service is resumed: getting wet in Glen Carron

Well, you don't get to walk them all in brilliant sunshine :lol: - after a spectacular start to a week with a family group up at Lochcarron in early June, when I DID actually get to walk both the two Achnashellach Munros and Beinn Alligin in brilliant sunshine on the Sunday and Monday respectively, ...

Beinn Alligin - tackling Torridon's horny old devil

I have to confess that I've left the Torridon giants to rather late in my list of Munros, in part because I've frankly found them something of a scary prospect :? , but also because they're a fair old schlep from the cities of the Central Belt. However, I was up at Lochcarron for a whole week in a r...

Re: Yay, first report for this walk!

It's a lovely area this, with all that Scots pinewood and the vintage railway, and you got a nice day for it too.
Please do keep posting :clap: !

It's big & grey! It's red & pointy! The Achnashellach Munros

Much as it would be wonderful to get abroad (last time I was out of the UK would now be early January 2020 :roll: ), we didn't feel up to braving the flight cancellations and huge airport queues in early June this year, so we opted for yet another Domestic Holiday with our pals down the road. On thi...
