I couldn't agree more....did it today and my only advice is that as well as flippers, pack yourself a small boat...and maybe some waders... Best idea: ignore the 'path' and the markers and head for the coast where you'll find a dry, well trodden path with spectacular views. It's not on the map but ...

I think that the crux of the matter is "He doesnt cycle". I've been into Culra bothy a few times climbing Alder and Geal Carn and would find it hellish if I had to walk the whole way. It actually makes for a really pleasant cycle until you pass Alder lodge where it gets a bit steep. If you...

If you're a fast walker you can do them from Strathfarrar, just need to be back in time before the gate gets locked :shock: :lol: Did this last weekend and almost got locked in (got to the gate at 6.40 with 20 minutes to spare after starting at 10.30). Also, the bog slog between the dam and Carn na...

That is a shame, since it looks as if it is marked on the map as a path all the way. We have yet to climb Muirneag, and had thought that doing it from Tolsta would be the best bet (no marked path). Any comments, in light of your experience? Do you have a GPS that confirmed you were on where the pat...

As my family is from Ness and I had always heard stories from my relatives of the Airaidhean (sheilings) at Cuisheadar, Dibidale and Heilistoter I thought that I would walk the "Heritage route" between Sgiogarstaidh (My dad's village) and Tolsta in order to get a feeling for the interior o...

The worst I've seen for ticks is the glen below Beinn Dearg where I camped a few years ago in August. I must have counted at least 40 crawling around the bottom of my tent!!!

To answer Leithysuburbs, the snow wasn't dangerous just a wee bit of a slog. It also looks bonnie.
You should have gone up.
ALl the best,
Marag.

I agree that the "thrill" of the snow has worn off now. I was up Beinn a'Bhuird and Beinn Avon yesterday and spent most of the time on Beinn a' Bhuird trugging through soft wet snow. Hard work! However, the whole day was beautiful and I was very impressed by the quality of the path up to C...

Hi Stretch!
Fantastic image of the Cuillin. Have aready used it on my desktop (I hope you dont mind).
As a Civil War buff I also appreciated the cannon shot.
However, one of your other photies reminds me that I need to oil my bike.
Keep them coming!
Regards,
Marag

Dear Mountain Coward, I took your advice and left the bike about a mile from the White Bridge yesterday. Managed to get up Beinn Brotain but the weather came down like a ton of bricks and, since I was all on my lonesome, I chickened out of doing Monadh Mor and headed home. It was really good to get ...

Hi All,
I'm just back from climbing Cairngorm with the kids and we had a great day out!
They are now keen to climb another and I am keen to find opinions as to which hills two 6 year olds and a 10 year old will enjoy climbing.
Any thoughts?
Marags.
PS we're going to buy the lady in blue proper boots

Thanks Mountaincoward,
Marag

And it's only a matter of copy and paste. They're made up with the HTML tags etc, piece of cake. I personally just like sharing my experiences, probably same motive as Kinley, Doogz, Foggie etc. Not all folk look at all sites. Indeed :D plus a smattering of raving egotism, attention seeking behavio...

I only climb hills so I can put them on a website :D :lol: Seriously, though, I think that lists serve a purpose for many people (dangerous territory here!) Whilst it may be the beauty, wildlife, wildness, challenge/self-reliance and perhaps a sense of piety in nature that combine to make it worthw...

kinley, I appreciate it's perhaps a sensitive subject, but I think I made it clear I was giving my opinion based on the fact that I'm quite new to all this. Plus the core question of this thread is someone asking how long it would take to complete them, and whether or not they should be focusing in...
