Super pics. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks both. Metalwork it is. 👍

Thinking of doing the Grey Corries this weekend. Anyone got any idea of the conditions underfoot?
Will I need my ice-axe and spikes?

Any insight gratefully received as ever.

Thanks both. 👍

I'm thinking about going up the above-mentioned hill this weekend.

Does anyone have any idea of the current underfoot conditions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

For me, it has to be 'Into the Wild'. Its a marvellous, touching, very human film, directed by Sean Penn. It's based on the true story of Christopher McCandless who set off into the Alaskan wilderness by foot to try and live off the land. But it all ended tragically when his naievity and lack of pre...

I have a nagging feeling that I didn't actually / technically summit either one of Beinne a Chleibh OR Ben Lui about ten years ago. The clag was terrible....visibility was about 30ft and I recall wandering around the summit area of one of these (I forget which) looking for the cairn. After about 20m...

It's very rare I'll take photos on a day out these days. I have literally thousands of pics from my first few years of Munro bagging. Thing is, no one is particularly interested in seeing them. My kids - who once took a moderate interest in my bagging achievements - now don't even pretend to be inte...

I'm planning on doing the Grey Corries soon. Looking at the WH route description - which suggests doing Stob Choire Claurigh first - I'm just wondering if anyone has done it in the opposite direction to the route description here? - ie start with Stob Coire an Laoigh first? (then Sgurr C Mor; then S...

Superb, thanks both. 👏

Does anyone know if there's snow on top of SD (and I guess Ben Cruachan) at the moment?

The forecast for Sunday is looking pretty good, and I'm looking to do these. I don't like walking in the white stuff.

Any advice gratefully received as ever.

LF.

Many thanks all.

Decided to err on the side of caution and give the hill a miss today. Not worth taking the risk.

Happy New Year to ane and a'.

I'm looking at bagging Meall Bhuidhe with a couple of pals tomorrow. Has anyone any idea what the road conditions are like out that way, esp the single track roads such as that leading up to Giorra Dam? Thing is, none of us have big heavy 4 x 4 cars, and we don't want to risk slipping n sliding and ...

So much of what so many people have written here resonates with me. I won't repeat or duplicate what others have said. I'm amazed that covid has had such a direct impact on the mental health of many. That's something I'm lucky to have avoided. I lost my hills mojo maybe 3-4 yrs ago when I was going ...

Can't believe I didnt think of that before!

Thanks muchly. Worked a treat!
