Re: Linn of Dee to Glen Quoich and back via Clais Fhearnaig.

That looks like a great walk, i will keep it in mind for future. I have been to the Linn of Quoich a few times taking photos but need to start walking further up and explore more. Yeah, it was a good days exploring and doing a bit of reconnaissance as well. I fancy climbing Beinn a' Bhuird and Ben ...

Linn of Dee to Glen Quoich and back via Clais Fhearnaig.

It was a slow start to the morning but today's walk was never going to be an epic all day climb up a Munro as my friend Milner, his dog Colby and I pulled into the Linn of Dee car park at about 11am. Without going into detail, my mates life had been turned upside down to say the least so just to get...

Re: 3 days 6 hills in the eastern Cairngorms with rudolph &

Superb report there as well as some cracking photo's. :clap: It has gave me some ideas as I was thinking of doing the same Munro's but cycling to the foot of and climbing Beinn Bhrotain and walking in a "clockwise direction" to bag the others. Might have to miss out the Devil's Point thoug...

Re: Plan B, Derry Cairngorm and Beinn Mheadhoin

Thanks Graeme, I really enjoyed this walk too. Just wish the views at times were better but it all adds to the excitement of the day I suppose. As I was descending from DC the cloud broke for a few seconds to reveal Lochan Uaine on the southeast side of Ben Macdui which was just picturesque but as q...

Plan B, Derry Cairngorm and Beinn Mheadhoin

It was time for a change of scenery. After spend most of my walking time in the South Cairngorms I really fancied something new, something different to look at. Don't get me wrong as I have enjoyed my walks to the south but a fresh change of scenery was needed. I have always fancied Ben Macdui but I...

Re: A Tuesday in Glen Clova

Well done Chickadee. I remember when I first started out about two years ago and it was all scary and not so sure. I've now just completed 25 Munro's and haven't looked back. Make sure the weathers good and get Mayar and or Driesh in the bag. Don't worry about stopping to catch your breath, I'm the ...

Re: A damp day up Mayar and Driesh

...'bout time ! :wink: Yeah, better late than never pal. Good times though. Looks like the sort of weather I had last week up that way! I need to do these Munros soon, looks fun! It wasn't the best day of weather but I suppose it could have been a lot worse. Corrie Fee looked awesome in the drizzle...

A return to Glenshee, Glas Maol and Creag Leacach

our_route.gpx It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Glenshee Ski Centre at 9.30am. It was time to complete Glas Maol Munros circuit from the Cairnwell Pass. A month had past when I did Carn an Tuirc and Cairn of Claise with Tom Buidhe. This was a long enough walk for me so Glas Maol and Creag L...

A damp day up Mayar and Driesh

our_route.gpx (Before I start I must admit I wrote this walk report months ago but never got round to attaching the photo's. For various reasons I have just not had the time. Any free time I did get though I made sure I was still getting out there on those Scottish Hills to which I will write repor...

Re: Carn an Tuirc, Tom Buidhe and Cairn of Claise

Nearly made the mistake of asking why you left off Tolmount until I saw that you'd climbed it previously by a somewhat harder route 8) Yeah, climbed Tolmount a few weeks earlier from Glen Doll. It was a fair trek but really wanted to walk up Jock's Road and it seemed fitting to get a Munro in. Was ...

Carn an Tuirc, Tom Buidhe and Cairn of Claise

As we arrived at the car park I couldn't help but think what a difference to the weather. I had been here exactly 7 days ago to do this walk but as I was parking up the reverse gear suddenly went from my car. Not knowing how severely damaged the car was and the fact that the rain was coming down hor...

Re: Playing with Lego and Blondie on Devil's Point

Aright Kev, Outstanding report pal, again. I've been in this area really only once and that was when I did the Lairig Ghru and that was awesome from the ground so I can only imagine how it looks from above. Sunset, sunrise, wild camp, cloud inversion, reindeer, the list goes on. Your outing had the ...

Me, Chris and Tolmount

My mate Chris from work asked me the next time I was heading out to give him a shout as he fancied getting in a Munro or two. The next walk I had planned was Tolmount and maybe Tom Buidhe coming in from Glen Doll. The weather wasn't to bad. Cloudy but with no rain as we left the car park about 8.30a...

Re: The Cairnwell Three.... almost four!!!!!

Sorry Neil I did An Socach as a 'stand alone' and have not done either of the other two so can't be of any use at all, sorry :D Aye, nae bother Chris. It looks like a good approach to An Socach following the Baddock Burn ( I'm guessing that was the way you came in :think: ) Here's hoping I get out ...

Re: The Cairnwell Three.... almost four!!!!!

the Cairnwell three "the hard way" might have been a better title for this one :lol: Superb Chris. Like your style :D. I'm hoping to do An Socach in a couple of weeks time. I was thinking of doing it with Carn Bhac and Beinn Lutharn Mhor. Have you done either munro before?? Can you recomm...
