You certainly picked a super day for it. Well done for doing the traverse rather than just settling for the two Munros. Some mountain trips are so good that once is not enough, and An Teallach is definitely one of those; you began with one of the very best, so it's no wonder you decided to do it ag...

Thanks ancancha. Managed to do the Beinn Dearg group last week and the total is creeping up - but oh so slowly. And this lousy summer isn't helping!

Thanks Mal. Life got in the way for about forty years, but I'm getting back to it now. I hope I'll get up there again sometime.

Aye, you got a fine day for it. good photos liked the story of your youthful self just nipping up because you happened to be nearby :D We'd done most of the hills in Assynt and just assumed it would be like Stac Polly only a bit bigger! It was definitely a case of benefitting from "unknown unk...

Super photo's . You were lucky with the weather. This summer has served up limited good views from summits. :( Need to bump An Teallach up my list It's well-worth waiting for the weather and you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable day. Actually, I'm looking at An Teallach right now, and the tops a...

Years ago, whilst on holiday near Ullapool, I came across a book called "Hamish's Mountain Walk". Apparently there were hills called "Munros" and there were hundreds of them, and there was a guy called Hamish Brown who'd done them all in a single epic trip. "Look", I sa...

Yes Silverhill, it's one of my favourite spots and the Tilt seems to flow undiminished from its confluence with the Tarf Water. Hope you get better weather next time!

Glen Tilt is very much my home glen and I believe, one of Scotland's hidden gems. My grandmother spent her childhood and early adult years here and I was fortunate as a child to see the last remnants of lives that were lived entirely within its confines and those of the village of Blair Atholl.

After the gentle Drumochter Rambles it was time to get a bit more serious. Weather forecasts indicated that Saturday might be a good day, and I'd already done a wee recce of Ben Vorlich after my trip up Ben Chonzie earlier in the year. After the mandatory bacon roll and coffee in Comrie, I was away ...

Note: I don't carry GPS so the distance and ascent figures I've given are approximate based on other reports I've read. This was my third trip to the area in as many weeks. The first was for the Sow of Atholl followed by a quick recce up to the cairns on Geal-Carn. The second an attempt to do at lea...

My great-grandfather worked as an itinerant coach-maker, carpenter and fishing-tackle maker and raised his family of seven children on the shores of Loch Tummel. Schiehallion was a favourite hill of my Gran's and I remember her telling me that it meant "hill of the fairies". However, Hamis...

Cheers Chris! This was two years ago (!) before I'd found WH, but I've been meaning keep a diary for ages and this seemed like a reasonable place to start. I wasn't sure whether to make the report public or not, so thanks for your comment. More will follow, as I get the hang of this. I was on Carn n...

My first solo Munro trip. Left the car by Loch Moraig around 09.30 am and reached the summit cairn of Carn Liath around 11.00 am. CIMG2414 (640x480).jpg CIMG2415 (640x480).jpg I followed the standard WH route along the Beinn Mhaol ridge. At the end, the path descends steeply into a corrie, then rise...
