My wife (Margaret) has decided she would like to climb a few munros and see if she likes them after getting the walking, hiking bug from a recent WHW trip. As we spend a lot of time around Blair atholl we decided on these 2 as I had already climbed them. Checked the MWIS for Saturday and all looked ...

Walking the WHW next May. Am I better to wear Trail shoes or boots?

I have boots I walk the munros in but would these be too heavy for a hard packed trail route?

Thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

How do you get blisters? I have good boots well worn in, good walking socks, and plenty hils and miles clocked up in them. So why when I am 2 days in to a spectacular week for the WHW do I get blisters from toe to heel and loose a toe nail? Painful to say the least but I am very puzzled as I have ne...

Hi Thomas,
I got one last year, so far has been excellent, wore it on Ben Chonzie in January. -22 and was still toasty.

Oh well still made it to the top............puffed out as usual but worth it. glasgow 10k 050.jpg Didnae realise it would be so busy. Was a ...

into the bargain.

If anyone wants to meet up I am willing to go if available.

Hi,
Looking at giving this one a go on Saturday. Just getting used to winter walks
and would love to notch another one for winter.
Any reviews or advice?

I have a pair of Mammut scout, very comfy boot, I have done a few winter walks but would like to get crampons to be a bit safer on my feet. What kind would be suitable for them? and what would the best ice axe be? these would only be used in the scottish hills, might venture to Wales and so on. Any ...

Started and finished an excellent clear day. Views were absoloutly spectacular. Set off about 9:15 and back at the car by 3pm.

Wind picked up at the summit but well worth the huffing & puffing all the way up.
