Whoops! I meant 8 hours 21 minutes, (not 6!)

[quote="gaffr"]Kind-of reverses the order a bit when the ladies get onto the power assisted bikes....not showing the images to my wife. :lol: I am still on a non powered bike and I am regularly overtaken on the trails around here by elderly ladies using bikes with a booster. I guess that i...

Good weather forecast on MWIS with possibilities around Ben Alder area but no takers, til - ping - 10pm the night before a post football BBQ and with no plans firmly in place - a possible bite! That can't be allowed to go to waste after a couple of years of nothing much, can it? So, one poor night's...

A fine route and well worth doing again, good to see your pics. I've done pretty much the same route as yours but in reverse. All the best. :D How was it coming down Lancet Edge? I'm now thinking about doing the 2 west of Geall Charn from the west but adding on the Lancet Edge because it was so goo...

:lol: When I was climbing Ben Alder on May Bank Holiday, and I should have been 100 % immersed in the delights of scrambling on the Long Leachas – I’d been looking forward to it for so long after all – I found myself strangely distracted by the adjoining ridge. Not the lumps and bumps of The Short L...

I have to admit right up front that I wasn’t looking forward to climbing these munros, but being a ‘Munro Compleatist’ it is part of the deal! Best to do it in Winter I was told – “it can be a lovely walk across the plateau on a snowy day”. Hmmmn, okay, that sounds reasonable. The thing is that I’m ...

Great to see people paddling in to mountains more and more. Its such a good way to enjoy the approach, and gives a totally different perspective on the landscape as well as allowing you to take a few (!) luxuries. Been pondering this trip for a while, actually. Well you should definitely go for it!...

Excellent report! I e-biked in to Culra the following Wednesday and was told by the guy manning the level crossing (because the horns on the new trains don't work properly!) that there had been about 30 people camping at Culra that weekend - so you chose a good campsite. There were only 2 or 3 tent...

How lucky am I to have friends with canoes who don’t mind if you hijack their plans! :clap: ...”We’re off on adventure next weekend – we thought we’d paddle across a loch and climb a mountain. Any ideas?” I was straight in there with “Yes, go down Loch Ericht and climb Ben Alder”. “Would you like to...

Started up that way once, but moved out onto the steep grass to the right (would've been on your left as you came down). Steep but reasonable enough. However I'd much rather go up it than down as the best line through the bands of crag is hard to spot from above. A nice bit of steep grass is always...

I have no idea how that gully made it into any guidebook - unpleasant and potentially dangerous. The slopes just south of the gully are a viable alternative on steep grass, but still not ideal in the wet. I would definitely recommend continuing to Carn nan Conbhairean and taking a line that skirts ...

I think I’m right in saying the WHW summer meet is coming to Inchnadamph in July? So maybe this tale might interest any in the group who are thinking of tackling these fantastic mountains…..I’d love to know if anyone else has had a similar experience taking the non-standard route off the mountain…. ...

Lovely report - thank you. Its especially helpful because we'd been wondering about going up Sgurr na Ciche from the Sourlies bothy on a backpacking trip from Glenfinnan to Shiel Bridge. Great photos, :D Wow - just looked at that on the map - what would it entail? That looks quite a zig zag route b...

A couple of extra shots.....

A last glimpse of Sgurr na Ciche - looking like a peak in South America!

our_route.gpx When P&P told me they were doing a walk from Glenfinnan to Inverie, my munro baggers ears pricked up! Ah-ha - surely that goes along the base of the Sgurr na Ciche ridge? That’s one of those outings I'd been pondering for some time, having caught the distinctive shape of that hill...
