I agree with you on that one Simo

This was, and is, my only venture into the hills of Glencoe.

Highly recommended!

Cheers Skuk! Aye there's still a fair amount. Was quite soft in some places, and knowing what's underneath wouldn't be surprised if there were a few ankle-breakers! And the climb up the south-eastern face is probably ok for plenty out there. I had always considered myself reasonably hill-fit . I sh...

Cheers Fudgie, glad you liked it. Would love to have caught the updated MWIS for Saturday, everything that we could see was cloud free! Haven't had views like that for a while! :) We all got blessed with awesome weather at the weekend. I just wish I was blessed with more UV resistant skin! :( lol

I am down to the last 6 weeks of my personal target to complete the Top 10, and only 3 of those 6 weeks are free weekends. This was one of them. Checking the MWIS on Friday, the forecast for Saturday had 70% chance of cloud free summits and a cloud base of 1200m. Figuring this would be negligible; ...

Glad to get an update of the arete, was looking to do it sometime soon. Glad to hear that the person concerned is ok! :) What time at was the helicopter about? Was in Glencoe on Saturday and I swore I could hear the fearful sound of a chopper, but wasn't at any height to see! Incidently, CMD, the a...

With the girl away on her weekend, including the mother-in-law and with the MWIS promising good weather Saturday was looking to be an excellent day! This, what ever the next Munro was, was to be RosythAlly's 50th. Discussions after Carn a'Mhaim had talked of / led to the desire to Buachaille Etive ...

Left house @ 07:30, pulled up in car park by visitor centre 08:40. Booted and away for 08:50.
Summited at 11:20. 15 mins at the top (baltic), then back down to the car, 13:40.

xpfloyd,
That pic is a cracker mate!

Thanks Simon. :) I know there wasn't much description of the route out - but it was exactly the same as the inward hike - only much more enduring. But glad it is inspiring you also. I'm hoping to be back up myself, from the Linn of Dee the last week of April. Here's hoping that we both get the weat...

Having read Del246's report for this walk (sorry, unsure as to how to link in a report), and with a longer, daunting prospect lying ahead of me - Devils Point to Breariach from the Linn of Dee - I was fully inspired to do this walk as a reconnaissance mission! Stuck at work for this past week, envi...

What with the winter being completely unbearably wet and windy, we hadnt been out since that disaster of a day up Braeriach back in September - a whole 5-1/2 months on!

I purchased a Sigg bottle a couple of months back - though not for the purpose you're talking about; a hot water bottle. I recall seeing a sticker on it advising that maximum liquid temperature should be 40deg C. I can agree with that as I was cleaning it with hot water from the tap and the bottle ...

I have completed Macdui from Linn of Dee and from the Aviemore side. I dont know which route I prefer Del, for me having, only done it from Aviemore via Cairngorm, and viewing your pictures - I'd have to say Linn of Dee looks the better route! Fantastic pictures of what I would describe also as an ...
