Re: Geal Charn from Spey Dam

The river level was ok, unfortunately every potential stepping stone above the water had a layer of ice on it so I had to wade, I'd also heard about the bridge but I was too far up the Glen for me (plus I wasn't convinced it was still there) That does look a good alternative and would have caught th...

Re: Geal Charn

It was a cracking day to be up there, the views were fantastic, I'm pretty sure I saw your footprints in the snow at Uinneag Coire an Lochain

Geal Charn from Spey Dam

I'd been looking to do Geal Charn for a while but most of the walk reports on WH made it out to be a long boring trudge up from Garve Bridge, videos on YouTube confirmed how boggy it was. 01.jpeg I looked at the alternatives, WH suggested an alternative route up Glen Markle (no relation) that looked...

Re: Issues with sleeping bag

Sorry, late to the discussion but I've had the same issue with my sleeping bag, bought a ME Starlight III 3 season synthetic fill bag for summer camping up high (I'm a sucker for Robin & Murray's summit camp videos). Whilst it's warm, comfortable and compresses well, the 2kg weight is a big issu...

Stob Choire Claurigh (via Stob Coire Na Ceannain)

Having previously done both Stob Ban and Sgúrr Choinnich Mór individually I turned my focus onto the remaining Grey Corries. $matches[2] With my goal to do every Munro individually I originally planned just to do Stob Coire Claurigh but while researching the route I noticed the impressive munro top ...

Stob Coire Na Ceannain (Grey Corries) from Lairig Leacach

I'm thinking of doing the Grey Corries soon and I'm looking for potential routes directly up onto Stob Coire Na Ceannain from Lairig Leacach. Going by photos on Walkhighlands there seems to be two potential routes (see below) but I'm looking for advice (or gpx files) from anyone who might have done ...

Report: Summit camp on Goat Fell

I've been hoping to do a summit camp on Goat Fell for years but due to a variety of reasons the opportunity had evaded me, but the forecast of an Indian summer in September got me planning. Island bound.jpeg The overnight summit temperature on the Met Office forecast was in the high teens, the YR &a...

Coming off the ferry head straight to bus stance 5 and take the 324 Service (Blackwaterfoot via North Island) to Corrie.

Re: Sgúrr Choinnich Mór from Kinlochleven

Given it’s reputation, I am a little relieved you didn’t investigate the singing at Lúibeilt! 😂 I'm pretty sure it was campers, they must have packed up early when the rain started. I only found out about it being haunted after I got home, Alan Rowan (Munro Moonwalker) posted a great article about ...

Sgúrr Choinnich Mór (Grey Corries) from Kinlochleven

In my quest to climb every Munro individually (and by an alternative route) I set my sights on Sgúrr Choinnich Mór in the Grey Corries but was unsure about what route to take. A few years earlier I'd climbed Binnein Beag from Glen Nevis (after a failed winter attempt from Kinlochleven) but found the...

Re: Beinn Heasgarnich from the back....

It’s a great way to do these hills, I cycled in from Auch, the bogfest up the normal WH route didn’t inspire me.

Laggan hills round via NW ridge of Beinn a'Chlachair

I had these hills in my draft folder for a while and decided early on that it would involve a camp at the head of the Lochan. I set off from Ayrshire just after 6pm and arrived at the car park on the A86 at 10pm, it took a further hour to cycle into my camp spot at the lochan but with it being mid-s...

Beinn Fhionnlaidh circular route from Creran

I've been looking at doing Beinn Fhionnlaidh for a while but the WH route that all the baggers use looked like a right trudge, had originally planned doing it from Glen Etive but a family holiday at Connell (with perfect weather) presented an opportunity I couldn't ignore........even if it was from ...

Newtonmore round inc Carn Macoul and Gael Charn

I had looked at doing the Walkhighlands route for these hills but noticed it missed out on a few of the local tops so I decided to include Carn Macoul on the walk in and Gael Charn & Craeg na h-lolaire on the walk out. $matches[2] The walk in to the base of Carn Macoul takes you past the ruined ...
