Corbetts: Meall Lighiche Date: 30/03/2024. Distance: 12 km. Ascent: 760m. Time taken: 4 hours 20 minutes. Weather: Heavy showers in the morning gradually giving away to a sunny late afternoon.

Date: 29/03/2024. Distance: 16km. Ascent: 760m. Time taken: 4 hours 40 minutes. Weather: Some sun with the odd heavy shower. This walk was really secondary to the main event of the day - picking up our new van in Dumbarton. We intended to road test it on the A82 over the Easter long weekend as we he...

Sub 2k Marilyns: Sell Moor Hill, Eildon Mid Hill. Date: 24/03/2024. Distance: 2.5 + 10.5 km. Ascent: 90 + 520m. Time taken: 30 minutes, 3 hours 25 minutes. Weather: Mild, sunny.

Date: 10/03/2024. Distance: 16km. Ascent: 490m. Time taken: 5 hours. Weather: Very windy with the odd shower, turning to sunshine. Having spent the night by Loch Assynt, the howling wind in the morning put us off swimming in there. We decided that we would do something lower level today as yesterday...

Jackie and I had talked about getting a van for our excursions almost since we started spending time tog...

Date: 29/02/2024. Distance: 17.5km. Ascent: 320m. Time taken: 5 hours 30 minutes. Weather: Very windy and showery with sunny spells. An early(ish) loop with Jackie starting from Carrbridge - a good way of taking in the Sluggan Bridge and looking at a bit of the old Military Road that goes from Sloch...

Sub 2k Marilyns: Coyles of Muick, Meall Alvie. Date: 26/02/2024. Distance: 8.5 + 5 + 7 km. Ascent: 370 + 250 + 200m. Time taken: 2 hours 30 minutes, 1 hour 30 minutes, 1 hour 45 minutes.

Grahams: Creag Dhubh. Date: 18/02/2024. Distance: 8.5km. Ascent: 570m. Time taken: 4 hours 30 minutes. Weather: Overcast with some sun, the odd shower and strong winds. Plus 3 miles of cycling back to the start. We were after a short day out today - looked like Creag Dhubh above Newtonmore would fin...

Sub 2k Marilyns: Creag Loch nan Dearcag. Date: 11/02/2024. Distance: 19.5km. Ascent: 630m. Time taken: 6 hours. Weather: Calm and mild with a heavy shower on the summit. Part 3 of our long weekend of walking with David was back to being fairly unadventurous and not driving too far from home. Neither...

I was just concerned as Glen Pean has had storm damage this winter, and Oban looks a good bit more exposed. I wouldn't read too much into that (unless there has been more that I'm not aware of). My understanding is that the storm damage at Glen Pean was the new toilet building rather than the bothy...

Usually open by mid-late March I think, judging by the announcements from previous years. I have used it a couple of times in the past at that sort of time, although not for a few years. There is apparently an outhouse that remains unlocked all year round for emergencies...although I'd imagine this ...

Corbetts: Carn Dearg, Carn Dearg. Date: 10/02/2024. Distance: 15km. Ascent: 820m. Time taken: 6 hours. Weather: Calm, mostly in cloud and fresh snow. Day 2 of our long weekend in the hills and we were in bed at home! More indifferent weather hadn't really encouraged us to go away anywhere so despite...

Sub 2k Marilyns: Beinn Mheadhoin. Date: 09/02/2024. Distance: 10km. Ascent: 320m. Time taken: 3 hours. Weather: Grey and windy. Took Friday off to have a long weekend on the hills with David and Jackie. Despite having ambitious plans, another weekend of high winds and indifferent conditions led us t...

I don't think there are applications in for all of those locations - looks like an exercise in having a load of backup spots identified in case the one put forward for planning gets rejected. The whole scheme is a bit of a joke though for the reasons most people have already stated. It is difficult ...

Distance: 15km.
Ascent: 200m.
