Found 21 October on the WH recommended descent route.

If it is your pole, you'll know the make and colour.

PM me and I'll send it on.

With group of three plus Murray Wilson of Kingdom Guides. In cloud above about 700m all day and the weather was appalling for the three hours or so that it took to traverse the full length between the Munros. Heavy rain and gusting strong winds. It made the rock extremely slippery and did not help m...

This was my second consecutive (fairly easy) day in gorgeous weather in Sutherland. Having lost our way in low cloud many years ago, this was the chance to finally get to the top of Ben Hope. The pictures tell most of the story of a beautiful day, but here are a few points of note: 1. Wildfires were...

Dropped everything in response to the fantastic forecast and headed up to Sutherland to catch the two most-northerly Munros. This report covers Ben Klibreck. What a great day it turned out to be, as you'll see if the photos do it justice. Followed the WH route from the Vagastie Bridge, with a small ...

I visited the Beinn Dearg group last autumn but ran out of time to include Eididh nan Clach Geala (which I'll call just Eididh from here on in). I'm now very grateful that I missed out previously because this circuit of Eididh with Seana Bhraigh from Inverlael was highly enjoyable. I saw the route i...

Good route, it's worth taking in Beinn Pharlagain as well. It's probably the most attractive of the three. I once met an overweight Dutch couple at the crossing of Allt Eighheach. They were totally knackered so I waited at the road and gave them a lift back to the station. The woman just kept patti...

The Road to the Isles - one of Scotland;'s iconic tracks - :D used to be a lovely grassy path. When I did Ben Pharlagan in 2016 ( i think) it had been ruined by Scottish Hydro so that they could drive heavy vehicles along it. for some project. :( :( - there were "yellow monsters" everywhe...

I had wanted to walk this circuit for many years but I had always been slightly put off by the length of the expedition, when combined with the long cycle-in needed to make this a single day's outing. It was absolutely fine, although it certainly was a long day best reserved (for me) for the longer ...

I hope this will be helpful for other 'non-regular' cyclists, like me, who wondered about the prospect of cycling from Dalwhinnie to Culra (and back). Here are a few notes: I took about 2 hours to go out and 90 minutes to come back. That was to go all the way to Culra bothy, which is easy to reach w...

The statistics show that this is apparently one of the easiest Munros to bag, but they don't even come close to telling the full story. For a start, there is a bit of an 'adventure' to get to the starting point. The hill itself is a superb viewpoint on a clear day and the set-up at the Corrour Stati...

We had never really fancied the route that takes in these hills from Corrour Halt, for two reasons. Firstly, we didn't like the idea of having to walk against the clock. Secondly, who would want to rely on Scotrail to that extent? We read a report by Cameron McNeish, of a route which tackled these t...

Just me and biked it to and from Derry Lodge. High cloud and warm sunshine. Very lucky to avoid almost all of the brief heavy showers. Even luckier that there had been a long period of dry weather so the 3 miles between the two summits were nothing like as boggy as expected. The drop down into the t...

With Joyce. Went up from the Drovers Inn and alongside the falls. BE CAREFUL IN PLACES! Took much longer than expected. Slow going - either steep and awkward or flat and boggy. (We had several dry weeks before this trip and I shudder to think how squelchy this rout could normally be!) Also slowed by...
