Gulvain

our_route.gpx Retrace EXACTLY the same route back. We were up in Scotland for the first time since Lockdown to support a Ramsay's Round. I was on Leg 3 support. Both were successful. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50240308553_28f4a5c106_c.jpg Pavel (23 hrs 15 mins) and Scott (23 hrs 30 mins) a...

The Saddle and Sgurr na Sgine

our_route.gpx These were our last 2 Munros in Kintail having done all the others of the South Shiel Ridge in 2012. Still remember standing on Creag Nan Damh, looking across at these ones and thinking.... er.... not today! So, here we were 7 years (!!!) later to finish them off. I might add, we had ...

Braeriach: Take 2. So that's the view!!

our_route.gpx Some years ago we had attempted Braeriach (March 2014). The forecast was optimistic of a reasonable day and all was going splendidly till we were heading up from the Lairg Ghru. The cloud thickened and by the time we were at Sron na Lairige we could not see the nose on our face. Wheth...

Last 3 Cairngorm Munros

our_route.gpx This was one we had put off for some time. Logistics for consideration... Option 1: was to walk in, camp at the bothy, do, then return to Linn of Dee. Option appraisal at a B H weekend was not that those who attended the Bothy shared common goals. Option 2: walk in from Linn of Dee an...

Ciste Dhubh

our_route.gpx Camped at Morvich (a great site) then headed past the Cluanie Inn and parked carefully and slowly at the next lay-bye on the left. I say that as I’m not sure they were pot holes or evidence of a recent meteor shower. The morning had been quite sunny however the forecast was for it to ...

Maoile Lunndaidh. Torridon done

our_route.gpx We had been in Scotland for a week but the weather was going to change and perhaps more relevant, we were not going to have till Wednesday next week off as my wife had to get back to work. Trouble at mill!! So, from Loch Mullardoch, we headed to Torridon via Beauly and Achnasheen. We ...

Mullardoch 4

our_route.gpx After an unusual spell of settled and very warm weather that change as it opted to become both unpredictable and unsettled just as we went north on holiday. A predicted wet Sunday turned out to be ok, so we phoned Angus the boat man to arrange a trip up Loch Mullardoch at 8:30 the nex...

Ben More

our_route.gpx From Oban we caught the 5:00pm Cal Mac to Craignure. Staying on the upper deck on this clear and warm evening we could enjoy the stunning views of Mull, Lismore and back to Oban. The purpose of this visit was to climb Ben More however we also wanted to explore the island as we had hea...

Re: Laugavegur trek - part 2 and Fimmvörðuháls

Paul This goes beyond next level and impressive beyond words. I blew up some of the pictures just to get my head round it! You really went for it and must have been so chuffed with your trip. I know the weather could have been better in this last section but even then added to the trip especially to...

CMD - at last!

our_route.gpx Having just had the most amazing week away in the Moby we just knew that we had to start heading in the direction of home. HOWEVER, with a great forecast we just felt that maybe we could try to do the CMD and we might actually get to see something! I had done it 4 times already this y...

Mullach nan Dheiragain

our_route.gpx Having ran the previous day and deciding we were going to take the day off we woke to a view of rain and cloud... back to bed... We slept some more then had breakfast. It seemed to be clearing and actually the afternoon/evening forecast was ok. So.... Do you fancy just going to Killia...

Last but not least: Sgurr a'Mhaoraich

our_route.gpx The days started by opening the blinds of the Moby to reveal an almost perfect view on a perfect morning. Not knowing the parking arrangements we had a coffee then set off up Loch Quoich to ensure we could park up. Not a lot of space, but enough for us, and the bike of another chap do...

Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach. A much better day.

Having spent the previous day getting utterly soaked doing the bogfest of Gairich and enduring a pounding from the elements overnight in the Moby parked up at Loch Quoich dam it was with great delight that we woke to find a reasonable day met us as we opened the blinds. OK, I accept there was cloud ...

Gairich. The boggy one.

It's always the ones that are 'just 4-6 hours' or even better 'most people fit both these walks in on one trip' that you just seem to set yourself up to fail each. With a forecast that brimmed with optimism we headed up from Fort William, leaving really quite a nice day behind ,to meet an overcast a...
