Unlike many hills , many of us can see it at sunrise without travelling

Happened twice when I was leading club walks. First was at Stuchd an Lochan . I had given the correct grid reference for the car park. Two people didnt turn up and we waited 20 minutes. Phone reception in the glen is non-existent . The rest of us set off. We reached the summit , it was then I receiv...

What is wrong with the long walk in ....good opportunity to chat to others

Ben Lawers ,
Often hear it pronounced with a Y in it

The Quiraing on Skye is spectacular and well worth a visit . There is a good bus service from Portree to the start of some of the paths .
I would also recommend Plockton which has a rail station - There is a nice beach there

Don't do as I did and end up with the railway to cross between 3.40 and 4pm.
There is a train due in each direction then

. I ended up standing at Balsporran waiting for them both to pass by . This is one route where a knowledge of rail times helps .

Ben Vorlich - The Lochearnhead one . I took three attempts . Yeah , I know a real easy hill

Rubers Law from Hawick. Minch Moor from Galashiels. Mid Eildon from Clovenfords. Norman's Law from Newburgh. White Meldon from Peebles. Tulloch Hill from Tarbet. Meall Tairbh from Bridge of Orchy. and I thought I could compete with RTC :( Clearly not, as whilst I did all but Norman's Law by public ...

As a non-driver , I have a few unconventional routes that I like . Stuc a Chroin from Braeleny (handy for the bus from Stirling to Callander); and Meall Garbh and Carn Mairg from the north for example. I also like linear walks - like in the Pentlands or along the coast .

My trekking poles were possibly taken by mistake from Lochranza syha on Friday evening .
They are red , fliplock ones...

Yes I reckon Meoble wins for remoteness.
I did Meith Bhein, in my younger days when I bagged hills and its kind of scary in that area

Pairc would surely have the remotest buildings in the UK . As for mainland UK , maybe that remote building on south side of Loch Morar

Would seven stitches in your knee stop you going hillwalking ever again ?
We don't know the situation , but whilst I had a scar from a gashed knee (running accident) needing seven stitches and the scar took 15 years to fade , I was on the hills a few weeks later.

I was apprehensive at the start of the day - especially as there were 13 in the group.
However , It was a successful day- the only minor glitch was that the Royal Hotel bar was too crowded and we had to sit in the posh area of the hotel itself to drink our tea and coffee.

I asked because I was leading a group from the Clackmannanshire Hillwalking group yesterday. Thanks for your info. We had a great day on Ben Chonzie yesterday . Just one patch of snow .
Wind speed a little blustery though
