It's not often that Mum and the girls want to go away, but when they do, Dad and I always seize the rare opportunity and go very ambitious with where we can go with a weekend. So this time, we decided to do the Corrieyairack Pass on mountain bikes like we had last September, but this time we decided...

If you'd told us in December last year on Beinn a' Bheithir that the next proper munro-bagging outing for both of us together would be the Cuillins in October, we'd have thought you were kidding. But unfortunately running races and the great Scottish weather has meant that us fair-weather-walkers ha...

We have an afternoon free, so it's time to do our usual cycle off the train, which is usually along a FLAT, TARMAC TRACK (e.g. Alloa to Dunfermline, Kilsyth to Glasgow). So, time to find a nice new route, following the usual brief, huh? However, this cycle/walk is on walkhighlands, which means that ...

So, with an afternoon to spare, me and Dad decided to head up to the Campsies for my first time to climb Dumgoyne and Earl's Seat. We parked at the edge of the car park just before the distillery as you come from the south. Got our gear on like usual, with me putting on my new walking boots 8) 8) 8)...

Our weather window for the Christmas holidays (and last for 2014) was becoming apparent this weekend, so with permission from mum to head for the hills, I proposed a shortlist for dad of munros we could do. He picked Beinn a' Bheithir, so that's what we decided to do. We decided we'd try the Walkhig...

So, we have a free morning to go and climb up a hill, so we need to make it easy. Obvious choice - Ben Lomond. Although Ben Lomond is easy, is it not a bit boring and also absolutely mobbed, though, I have to ask Dad, who's been up it twice already. He says I suppose so, so I tell him I want to go u...

Unfortunately, neither Little Miss Mushroom nor any of her family knew anything about the mushrooms seen or any others, and preferred looking at them as well. Safety first!

Little Miss Mushroom Conquers The Craigie This is a tale of a little girl named Little Miss Mushroom, who went for a walk to find her favourite things in the world - mushrooms :o She went for a walk up a hill to visit an old fort which has now been claimed back by the mushrooms, near Glanderston Wo...

Out on the Cuillins for the second time this week, but arrived at Glen Brittle some 3 hours later than on Monday , so after a lie-in until 7:30 8) , we headed off up towards Coir' a' Ghrunnda. 1.JPG We were planning a very ambitious route, heading up to Loch Coir' a' Ghrunnda, along the ridge to Gar...

We didn't actually climb the In Pinn :( as we didn't have the gear, which means a bike managed to get further than us ! Because this was our most ambitious walk on the Cuillin Ridge so far (I'd been dreaming about them for months), we didn't know how long we'd take, so headed out as early as possibl...

Thanks guys and yeah, this surely can;t be our last trip! Dad's already planning camping whilst doing the last two! :roll: I still can't bear the idea of the descent into Kinlochleven again - it's tourture! As for Skye, we went in October last year and the weather was perfect, but we then did Sgurr ...

So, after yesterday's antics and the issue of Stob Coire a' Chairn, we thought we'd sleep on it ( 8) geddit geddit 8) ) and in doing so we had injected a new life into ourselves. So, before breakfast, we headed off to do An Gearanach. Before which, we had to see what the weather was like... 39.jpg 4...

The time had come for my first ever wild camp this weekend, and me and dad decided we were going to do all 10 mamores :shock: over the course of the weekend. To get it clear early on, we didn't :crazy: , we'd have to cope with a mere 8 over the weekend :wink: , 5 today. So, we arrived with the bags ...

The Buachaille is one of these amazing mountains in Scotland that when you drive past you always go 'how do you get up there?' and we were going to try and climb it :? So headed off through some amazing cloud over Glen Orchy and Rannoch Moor before emerging to see the Buachaille with some amazing cl...

Thanks :) We were saying on the way in that bikes would have sped up the walk in, though maybe we concentrated on our surroundings more because we were walking? On the way back bikes would have been nice to speed things up, but I don't know whether our legs would have managed! Shame with the woodlan...
