Thanks Heather. From all the reports I’m seeing on FB and Twitter the wee beasties have been having a feast all over Scotland this weekend!

2020 ... the year of turning 60 and retiring after 42 years as a medic with lots of trips planned, mostly involving the Highlands, to make the most of this new found luxury called free time. And then COVID19 came along to keep us all firmly under wraps. My services were not required back on the fron...

Wow! Thanks very much, am glad you enjoyed those reports. I'll let Maisie know the good news when I get home. So far I'm going halves with MountainThyme and the dog, not much left for me

Lovely report. I was lucky enough to get THAT view as well - one of the most special hill moments ever.

Well as I had to miss Bearnock, and will miss Glencoe, it would be exceptionally rude to miss this one too, count me in please Jax.
Presumably there's somewhere to leave cars in Mallaig?

Poor old Google! Must be feeling the pinch ...

A bit slow off the mark with this, work and lurgy have slowwwwwwed me down ... but it's worth sharing (I hope) because of the sheer fabulousness of the day we had (we = me and the dog, Maisie). This was the First of October, early autumn at it's crisp and golden finest. The previous couple of days h...

A tentative plan for walking on the Saturday: Tom a' Choinich and Toll Creagach, Glen Affric. Not too far away and a book time of 6-8 hours so should make it back for the quiz! (Just). Happy to be accompanied by similarly broad minded individuals! :lol: Thinking I may join you on this walk. Am I br...

Glad to hear you spent some time in the zone Mr D, mind and soul truly sorted I hope.

Nice stuff Mr W! That's the thing about hillwalking - you never know when you might bump into some unsavoury characters! :lol: I do miss nights in a tent with a wet, smelly dog! :( Thanks Sir, glad I avoided six of the best there. I thought there was a prospect of further canine company on the Dewa...

Fabulous Jonathan :clap: Was great to meet you on the track... see you at MM meet end of Nov :D Was a fab surprise T. Yes, looking forward to the MM meet! Great report from a great area. Nice camping spot too. Last time I was up here there was a lot of groundworking but looks clearer now. Thanks :)...

Big fan of the Lochcarron spar (no commercial interests either). Managed to get a spare battery for my car key there as well as a wee screwdriver to fit it. Sounds like I need to save up my £11.99 and return for some wellies.

Nice one Jonathan....the day I did these two chaps suddenly appeared from the loch area and tried to "attach" themselves to me in the climb up the two hills. I wasn't too keen, as I didn't really want to be responsible for two complete strangers.....can hardly look after myself......the s...

Well of course I could have nipped over them in a couple of hours but not really fair on the dog 😂😂
