I had been dreading these two. Many have suggested that they are probably the most boring of all the Munros, so I set off from the A9 lay-by with some trepidation. The start of this walk is through a site where construction workers (who are replacing the pylons) keep their equipment and site office ...

I had driven out to Glen Clova three times before, and the weather was always awful. I don't see the point of walking up a mountain if I am not going to see the views, and today, the clouds hung on the tops again. I decided to set off up Glen Doll anyway. If it lifted I would go up, if not, I would ...

Thanks for some great pics and what looks like a good route up. I still have these to do, having had quite a memorable day on the other four. See my report on 'The Loch Pattack Four'. The weather could have been better, but at least I got some views! The bike is essential unless you want to spend a ...

I had driven from Cornwall to the Scottish border after work the previous evening, and endured an almost sleepless night in the car. The consequence was that I arrived at Inveruglas at 10:00 a.m., so decided I had time to 'bag' a Munro before continuing north. The walk starts by heading back along t...

I cycled in from Linn of Dee to cross White Bridge and turn right to stay with the Dee. The track shown on the map became little more than a footpath so, after another 2k, I dropped the bike behind a heather-bound lump - almost on top of an adder that was obviously feeling lethargic in the cold. I c...

This would be a huge undertaking without the bike, with a total of almost 40k to cover. Fortunately the tracks are reasonably good, enabling a total of 25k to be cycled. I followed the Dee to White Bridge (it isn't) and crossed it to leave the Dee and follow the Geldie Burn southwest'ish for 2k befo...

I parked in the temporary car park at Allanaquoich, pushed the bike up the small path to join the track above, and cycled the four miles through the Glen Quoich pines to where the Allt an Dubh-Ghlinne joined the Quoich Water. The track went on through the Allt an Dubh-Ghlinne, but I left the bike lo...

They promised the best day of the week on the forecast, so I drove up to Dalwhinnie and began the long bike ride down the shore of Loch Ericht. It was raining! I had been starved of decent weather for two days, so continued in determined mood, meeting several walkers doing the TGO Challenge. They al...

I cycled in to Derry Lodge, crossed the Derry Burn, and continued across the boggy flat to enter Glen Luibeg. I took the easy option and diverted upstream to cross the Luibeg Bridge to begin the long, steady ascent of Carn a Mhaim. Snow lay down to the 800m contour but the easy gradient posed no pro...

I cycled in to Derry Lodge from Linn of Dee, then walked up the beautiful Glen Derry through Scots Pines above the Derry Burn for the first 3k, then on along the excellent path that follows the open floor of the glen. The weather was stunning - blue skies and hardly a cloud, with snow glistening on ...

I did a similar walk just last week on one of the few good days of my annual fortnight's Munro-bagging trip (Living in Cornwall is extremely frustrating!) and will post it later when I have the time. I missed out on Loch Etchachan by going straight up the snow-plastered hillside to the summit tors. ...
