So glad to read that you're back! :) :) :) And you've come back with quite a bang - lovely report with such fantastic photos! Seems Jaxter 2.0 is tougher than ever swimming at -10°C air temperature. I know from much, much warmer temperatures (25° more than you had) that it's all fine as long as you'...

Those photos!

Where's the smiley with the stars in the eyes?

Especially the first one with the loch. Absolutely fabulous. Great composition and colours.

I've been to Loch Ossian twice, and each time it was rather bleak and grey...

You can never get enough Fisherfield walk reports, especially if they are entertaining, full of fantastic photos, and even include a flying dog! :clap: I agree that it was a good decision to skip the three more Easterly Munros. Especially as it is quite far from A' Mhaighdean to Beinn Tarsuinn, even...

Great report, and wonderful photos! :clap: The first river crossing was straightforward, as I was able to hop across rocks all the way. Initially I took a slightly left leaning line up the big Corbett slope so as to miss the crags. Despite being pathless, all went well until the final third of the c...

Congrats on your 100th Munro! I almost don't dare to write that I quite enjoyed this pair of Munros: A Munro Duo with Suzi Quatro Even though the last bit was indeed muddy. I wanted to bag my 100th Munro as well this year. The counter was at 93 when I arrived in Scotland in June, but somehow got stu...

A delightful read, and such wonderful photos! I love your macro shots, something I've never got around to trying (especially as I don't have a macro lens for my Pentax, and my 7-year-old phone has a lousy camera :lol: ). When I climbed the Fisherfield munros, it was clear to me that I will have to c...

After the successful ascent of the In Pinn and Sgùrr Mhic Choinnich two days earlier, I couldn't wait to climb more Cuillin summits because the scrambling seemed like fun on the excellent gabbro with so much grip. The first ones I chose were Sgùrr nan Eag and Sgùrr Dubh Mòr, possibly with an extensi...

You certainly lucked out with the weather, even if Mrs Z wasn't so lucky with her boots. I wonder what it is with you guys and hill walking boots??!! :shock: We've been told since that it's the glue. It will fail quite suddenly after a certain time, 10 years or so. Given that the Mrs had bought her...

We considered going down the chute, which would be quicker, but in the end we decided to return to Coire A'Ghrunnda - partly to save Allison's knees and partly as I wanted to see if we could find the right path on the way down from the coire - we usually end up going wrong somewhere . And today was...

$matches[2] Luck is a fleeting thing, as everyone knows. In some areas of my life, I had more than my fair share of it, and hillwalking in Scotland seems to be one of my more blessed activities. The Mrs and I still hadn't spent a real holiday together since the end of the pandemic, and as I had pro...

Oh wow... What a day, so close and yet so far away! You have my full sympathy, and I can totally understand how and why that happened. I did something vaguely similar a few weeks ago on Skye, also due to the heat. I haven't found the time yet to write it down, but I will. The report is superb, howev...

That's quite a trip, even with working boots! Fair play :clap: I like that you always seem to manage to spend time on summits. Its a lovely thing to do, but I have a nasty habit of getting to the top, taking loads of pictures, briefly having a snack then heading down. I've been making an effort to ...

I missed this one somehow - great report and stunning photos, and now I'll read part one.

I took the sorry boots back home, and even though I thought them beyond repair, I brought them to my trusted outdoor shop. They said "no problem" and sent them "home" to Bavaria. A few weeks later, they were as good as new and are now eager to be strapped on again in Scotland, i...

Our last day of hiking for this year dawned beautifully with a clear blue sky and a positive weather forecast. Fourteen Munros bagged so far, but none of the Ben Lawers group of Munros, even though we had our accommodation in Killin, right next to it. I had been pondering about how to combine these ...
