Liathach

I had just been diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease, and was awaiting an appointment with the vascular dept. This was causing a burning pain in the calf even after about 50 metres, but after stopping to let the blood get through, I found that the pain eased and I could carry on for another 50...

Re: Beastie hybrid

Thanks for the info, it was definitely them. I've heard about keds a lot but surprisingly have never seen one or knew what they looked like, and yes, they are truly horrible. Now I think back, those poor coos had hundreds of flys jumping round them as I walked past. Hope they weren't all keds but fe...

Beastie hybrid

Anyone got an idea what this wee b@***** is? Apologies for the rubbish photo but it's like a 6 legged spider with fly wings. Never seen them before but they've pestered me a couple of days this last week. They land mainly on your neck and when you smack em and drag your hand to discard them they are...

Re: South Kintail ridge with summit camp

Hi both That was me emerging from the clag on Aonach Air Chrith. I'm pretty sure that the weather the next day was no where near as bad as predicted so hope I didn't deter you from adding some more blue balloons to your map, especially considering how close you are to completion. Also I wouldn't wan...

Return to Assynt

After seeing and hearing about my earlier visits to the far north, my daughter said she definitely wanted to make an appearance as soon as possible and that time came at the end of August. Rach had stated that Suilven was a must but due to a complete lack of hill walking (or any other walking for th...

First cloud inversion on Narnain and Ime

Started and finished at the campsite and walked round to Succoth to then follow the route from here on WH. Started off fairly miserable and cloudy then once I broke out through the cloud I experienced my first cloud inversion. Then on the descent to the bealach between the 2 Munro's it was back unde...

Not the WHW

I found this walk on viewranger and I think it was by Ronald Turnbull. I liked the look of it and thought it was within my capabilities whereas the full ring of Steall would be too much for my lack of fitness. Lovely day and only saw a couple of walkers tackling the ring anti clockwise, and a couple...

Beinn Damh

Followed the standard route described here on WH until reaching the bealach on the return where, instead of taking the decent path I first carried on along to Sgurr na Bana-Mhoraire, then returned to the bealach to return down the same path used for ascent.The weather was overcast but managed some v...

Eastern 2 of South Sheil ridge

My intention was to walk the eastern 4 Munro's but the weather didn't play ball and when a freezing downpour hit me just before the summit of Druim Shionnach I found I'd lost my gloves and couldn't feel my hands, so that, added to the fact there were no views made up my mind to call it quits and hea...

Meall a'Ghiubhais

Standart route from Loch Maree car park, through the underpass to walk the 'mountain trail'. Weather was Scottish in that it fluctuated between drizzle and sunshine, and light breeze to gales. Lovely mix of landscapes from ancient forest to lunar lochs and views of the beautiful Loch Maree backed by...
