Re: Taylor Swift meets Marilyn :)

Nice report, enjoyed reading that. I had a brain wave once, climb all the county tops. Falkirk's highest point is Darrach Hill and it has an almost identical view to yours! The only interesting thing about it, is you park in Stirling district, begin the walk in North Lanarkshire and summit in Falkir...

The Bristol Rovers - A Ben More and Stob Binnein Conundrum

It's a conundrum that bedevils many walkers. When another car pulls up at the start of a walk and at virtually the same time as you. Do you speak? Do you keep quiet? Anyone that's walked with me knows I am a talker.... I never shut up :lol: This time, I didn't get to speak first, one of the walkers ...

Re: The Hollow Mountain and the Giant on Stob Diamh

That's how you learn, from experience. At least you didn't end up miles and miles from your starting point and you still safely got round both munros. They are super hills, you'll have to go back on a good day, with a GPS or a compass and map in a plastic cover :wink:

Re: Carn A'Mhaizing

I was there yesterday as well (Newcastle shirt, black and white cocker spaniel). I wasn't so lucky with the weather, though, and saw pretty much nothing of the stuff on the other side of the Lairig Ghru; serves me right for getting going so early, I guess :) Aaahh, I spoke to you on your way down. ...

Carn A'Mhaizing

There are few finer sights in Scotland than the famous Lairig Ghru and the mountains that surround it, except for maybe the Lairig Ghru on a day when the sun shone against all predictions! For the second trip in succession the weatherman's warnings failed to come to fruition. A small token of reveng...

A Century and beyond! - Glas Tulaichean and Carn an Righ

Sooooo for far too long I have been stuck on 90-something munros. Finally I had the chance to get to the ton mark and maybe more We set out for Dalmunzie, up the A93 and down the badly rutted single track road from Spittal of Glenshee towards the fabulous, and expensive, hotel. The weather forecast ...

Re: Beinn Norain and Bog an Dothaidh

Aye Spider, I was surprised there wasn't a wee path coming up the other side given quite a lot of folk bag these as a 4 or 5.

Ancancha - maybe keep those Dothaidh views for a good, cold, crisp and clear winter's day when the bog's frozen. :)

Re: The Cairn Table Loop

That looks a cracking wee walk. Need to keep it in mind, for when a shorter day is required.

Beinn Norain and Bog an Dothaidh

So hillwalking wise 2015 hasn't been the best for me, only 3 munros bagged all year. Plenty of wee local walks done, just very liitle going up big hills! Myself and the other half decided we'd finally get out and about. So we chose Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh for our walk. Not too far away an...

Re: Four hard days in Cowal - Dunoon to Arrochar

Me and the other half were lucky enough to stay at The Whistlefield Inn on the banks of Loch Eck last year. Looking straight over the loch to Beinns Bheag and Mhor, beautiful. Cowal is a great area, we drove through a lot of it, from Dunoon, over to Bute, then up to Inverary and on to Oban. I kept t...

A Greyish Day On The Greyish One - Liathach

First of all let me apologise to my walking buddies for the tardiness of this report, such has life been in these past few days this is the first time I've had an hour to sit down and write. In that time, Jonny616 has even been back up to Torridon again and written a cracking report of his own. So l...

Summer Splendour on An Socach

Recently my girlfriend has been trying to understand this weird compulsion, we all have on this site. The urge to get out onto the hills and into rural areas; to see the amazing parts of Scotland, that few people ever do. The latest attempt to understand this craving has lead to the purchase of some...
