After our epic 'Knoydart Odyssey' last year (walk report here: http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24694 we returned to the peninsula the easier way this year - by boat from Mallaig to Inverie. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7415/9603041145_212426864b_c.jpg Approaching Inveri...

http://youtu.be/QN3j7yJzLVU We parked at the road end, by the Machair Gate, having been asked not to park at the former MacGillivray Centre (as it is now a very busy, and extremely good, cafe - Temple Cafe). The first part of the walk was through delightful machair (species-rich coastal grassland es...

Wow GariochTom, that is some distance! Your route makes for a nice variation rather than turning back the same way. I may do the same when my time comes. That view over Loch Avon is grand. 8) I like your pictures of the Cairngorms miniature world! It's funny, the walk didn't seem as long as it was,...

bynack-more--strath-nethy.gpx We set off up the road, past the Reindeer Centre, up to Glenmore Lodge where the road becomes a track. It was a pleasant walk through the woodland with its birches and pines that climb up the hillsides. We passed An Lochan Uaine, the little green loch, then soon emerge...

Thanks all

I think I'll make this a walk report of pictures and few words... An enjoyable walk especially due to the diversity of plants we saw in the glen, before and after being in the clouds higher up... https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7439/9203804766_c5a2192a47_c.jpg Loch Duich in the distance by GariochT ,...

Day One beinn-teallach--beinn-a-chaora.gpx http://youtu.be/PkPK_RkDqa8 The further west we drove, the hotter it was, and by the time we were alongside Loch Laggan the my car's thermometer said it was 30.5 degrees. We left a car at the Aberarder car park then I drove us to a layby at Roughburn, the ...

.....Nikwax 'Tech Wash' for machine washing the sleeping bag...... Nikwax 'Tech Wash' is good for the job, I've also used Ecover Delicate on synthetic bags. DO NOT MACHINE WASH! Hand wash in the bath or other large tub and be careful how you handle the wet bag as the stitching can be easily damaged...

My 4-season synthetic sleeping bag is in desperate need of a wash. The Mountain Hardwear web site advises that for synthetic bags, you should use a mild powder soap or special synthetic cleaning product. I'd be grateful for any advice on whether it would be fine to use the Nikwax 'Tech Wash' for mac...

I've never seen such good ptarmigan photos.. :shock: Thanks for posting, I love it! :D Great hill this isn't it? its a bit close for me, so I think I take it for granted and forget how amazing it is up there.. :wink: Thanks, yes I'm pleased with the ptarmigan pictures :) It is a great hill; I know ...

Stunning images. Did you do some time-lapse photography for some of the sunset/sunrise videos?

I like the symmetry of the film - the same beginning and ending!

Really enjoyed reading that report - thanks! Definitely looks a great day with excellent weather. Hope it's equally as good on Arran!

Earlier in the week the weather forecast for the weekend was looking good - blue sky all weekend in Ballater! Not only that, but I had just bought a new camera and was eager to test it out. A weekend bivi on Lochnagar was therefore on the cards. I left for Ballater on the Saturday afternoon. Driving...

Meall a Ghiuthais.gpx We travelled across to the West coast on the Friday afternoon, and had a short walk in Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve before heading to the Carn Dearg Youth Hostel in Gairloch. Slioch looked good and we had hoped to ascend it over the weekend. https://farm4.staticflickr.c...

Thanks - I'll have a look at their web site and send the sightings in.
