A very rainy day on Blà Bheinn in May

activity_11089929601.gpx I have had my eye on Blaven for a while now. Skye is so magical, and Blaven always sounded achieveable on WH - easier than the Cuillins but with all the excitement! We'd had a great start to the holiday already having ventured up to Loch Coiriusk on the Misty Isles boat fro...

Eskdale to Borrowdale via an Important Question on Scafell

For last years’ significant birthday, my OH had planned a surprise weekend away. I’d surmised we were off to the Lakes, and knew I required my walking boots and big rucksack fully packed and prepared for a hike! We headed up from London on the train. I was anticipating a Penrith bus to Keswick or tr...

A very long ridge walk - from Threlkeld to Ambleside

With a bank holiday weekend with the rels looming, we decided to squeeze in a wild camp the night before and arrive in style: hot, sweaty, and over burdened with all our belongings via the long ridge from Threlkeld, over Helvellyn and Fairfield into Ambleside. I wasn’t exactly sure how achievable th...

A pleasant jaunt up A' Chralaig & Mullach Fraoch-choire

This was to be our last munro day in Kintail for this holiday, and we had our “sea legs” by this point, so set our sights on these two beasties off the side of the A87 from Loch Cluanie. As is customary in Kintail, we began with a very steep ascent off the road. But having taken on Beinn Sgritheall ...

Carpe Diem: The Five Sisters!

Having planned a week in Kintail, the Five Sisters was the one walk we knew we had to have a go at. This would be one of biggest ever walking days - certainly in terms of cumulative height gain, so we approached it with some trepidation! Following a fab, sunny week in the lake district with my siste...

Not as steep as we feared!

This was our first visit to Kintail, and having kicked off with the Five Sisters (oh my gosh a big day!) it was hard to decide which of the many other mountains to tackle next. But with the forecast looking good, the prospect of stunning sea / mountain vistas from remote Beinn Sgritheall enticed us ...
