Cairngorm Winter Bothy Trip

My mate and I had this weekend set aside for a while but we’d decided to wait until the weather forecast was up before we made any real plans. I’d suggested a winter bothy trip to the Hutchison Memorial Hut if the weather was on our side. As the weekend got closer and confidence grew in the good for...

Autumn light on Rannoch Moor

It had been a month since I’d been out in the hills and I was beginning to feel the effects of withdrawal creeping in... For almost the whole of October being out in the hills had given way to one of my other favourite things – the Rugby World Cup! I had only managed one trip out to Loch Muick and n...

The Cuillin - A break in the clouds

Day 1 - The Thunder Sgurr a Ghreadaidh & Sgurr a Mhadaidh Date: 24/09/2015 Route time: 6 hours There are few things that would make setting my alarm for 4.30am seem like a good idea, but the promise of three days in the Cuillin is definitely one of them! I joined the mini bus in Falkirk still h...

Re: May Munro Madness Part 2

Thanks guys! And those angles! Bloody hell. Not a winter walker, so that looks terrifying to me. It wasn't as bad as it looks! Just being creative with the camera! :lol: Have you just posted these this week? Yup - after our last Cairngorm and CMD trip it seemed a real shame to miss this one out! It'...

May Munro Madness Part 1

May Munro Madness! Part 1 - West Back in the office on the Tuesday and everyone was asking was, ‘So what did you get up to on your holiday weekend?’ Thankfully, a semi-exhausted smile and reply of ‘I was out walking again’ was enough for my colleagues because thinking about it made me tired! Same go...

A 5-to-9 Adventure on Meall Buidhe

I took far too many pictures and could not for the life me narrow them down for this report so I’ve put them together as slideshow. The pictures and report tell half the story, for the other half well I guess you just had to be there… https://youtu.be/8PJHAdaOtVs There are 16 glorious free hours bet...

Re: KINTAIL 24-26 April 2015. Singles Group Meet

Hi folks,
Sorry but I'm not going to make this one any more. I've ended up in London for work and won't make it back in time.
Will hopefully be able to catch the next one though!

Creag Meagaidh circuit

There are some days in the hills that you know will always stand out in your memory. When the weather is with you it seems to take everything to another level. This was just one of those days. :D 8) Laura, Vanessa and I set off on the second day of our walking weekend aiming for another big route bu...

Beinn a'Chaorainn & Beinn Teallach

I spent my week counting down the hours till I’d be setting off on another walking weekend. When it hit 5pm on Friday I was out the office like a shot and heading off to Balgowan for some winter walking :D . On the drive up I was enjoying beautiful skies and the sun setting over snowy hills until I ...
