Yes, again. It fills a hole -- not far from home, and no thinking required. The weather was iffy -- AGAIN -- and the rain due to come on -- AGAIN -- at around mid-day. I'm mostly adding it here to keep my stats correct. That said, however, I did ascend using a slightly different route than the usual...

This one has been on my radar for want of making the drive up Glen Affric before camper and caravan season. I shoulda waited until after the Easter holiday! Actually, it wasnae all that bad – I drove up early in the morning and met no one. And on the way out, although I did meet quite a few cars, I ...

...as a Graham cracker! Ah, well. I'd come back up to Inverness for a change of scenery after a bloody awful week. Unfortunately, the weather gods didn't give a monkey's about providing a pleasant change of scenery! But finally, there was an oasis of dry (that might be an oxymoron) in a sea of crap,...

At least I get some rest while I am on the ground.

This made me laugh out loud!

Just a quick report – lovely outing with David. Public transportation all the way, baby; worked out rather efficiently, never having to wait more than 15 min for either a bus or a ferry. Nice walk, good views, but somewhat hazy. Cold – winter mittens and bobble-hat cold – at the top. From the summit...

A few years ago, driving through Glen Moriston after not having been there for quite some time, I was shocked at the amount of industrialization that had descended: several wind farms and hydro projects were underway, large swathes of forests had been clear cut, and there were new tracks everywhere ...

I'd been quite tired after my Beinn Bhan outing on the way to Inverness. The day after that, Evie and I met in Burghead, and walked along the beach toward Findhorn, then back through Roseisle forest. Although the walk was flat, it was a good distance, and afterward, my legs were a bit sore, and my f...

YAY!!!! A new Corbett!!!! It's been seven (SEVEN!!) months. :shock: (my exclamation point key is getting worn down...) I was heading north for the first time since last October, and I was ridiculously happy about it. The first miles were stressful – the car hadn't been “at speed” for many months, an...

placeholder for an entry that's been underway for ages (day 1 finished; stuck in a rut wrt day 2).

Just wondering if anyone could tell me whose authority the car park comes under? NTS, Transport Scotland, Highland Council? Just looking to report an act of littering I had the misfortune to witness yesterday that I'd only seen the likes of in the press or social media, never actually experienced a...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Golly, from no hills for weeks and weeks and weeks to the second time in less than a week. I'd previously told David that I'd be happy to keep him company on any of the Luss hills, and he was taking me at my word. I had a quick look at my own walk repo...

The transition to winter timekeeping came with a sharp shock. I'd arranged to meet up “across the water” with David, and the devil was in the details: I'd definitely be taking the/a ferry across as a foot passenger (he'd agreed to pick me up), but trying to figure out how and when I got to the ferry...

OK, so maybe the SLNT will become (has become) my next LDP project. Given that I've now done two of the three sections...and actually, finishing the last section (Fort Augustus to Foyers, or vice versa) means that I'll have done the entire Loch Ness 360, albeit one or two sections only many moons ag...

There was a lot of track walking, which Evie didn't like much. There was an electric fence, which I didn't like much. There were a lot of wind turbines, a few keds, and a lot of boggy ground ("proper Scottish walking"), which neither of us liked much. All that said, the effort of gaining t...

Oh, it was going to be an easy day. Evie "had a plan" -- she was doing a recce for her walking group -- so all I needed to do was to be at the Silver Bridge car park (Garve) by 8:45. Seemples! I've had this wee hill on my radar for a long time, as an hour or so add-on to a short day. But f...
