A rainy day, a good hard climb, it takes 2 hours to the Ben More summit. Stob Binnein doesn't feel hard after that. Met Angie and Wendy and made the walk with them from Ben More summit. Heading down from the bealach needs care in wet conditions (read always...) but is absolutely manageable. A good d...

For two years ago, June 17, 2017, I was forced to retreat down the nothern ridge from Ben Lui due to strong wind and heavy rain. The story is, that bad visibility and bad preparation convinced me that I already had reached the real summit when I only was on the fake nothern summit. I could barely se...

The weather forecast promished a day with good visibility - well, maybe an hour or little more with rain - and I decided to do a hill walk, even though I had tired and a little sore legs from Aonach Eagach traverse the previous day. Staying at the hostel my plan was to start early from Crianlaric an...

Did this walk joining a Steven Fallon organized guided walk with David (the guide), Alison and Michael. It was a great experience, two munros, first time using climbing harness and helmet. No visibility until descent. The descent was a nightmare to me, loose scree long way down. With my body mass th...

Landing in Edinburgh around 2pm, a drive to Killin and quick check-in at the hotel, to my surprise I found the rain was still not here. I promised myself I would give it a go in case the rain was late (compared to the forecast I saw in the morning). Meall Ghaordiadh was the closest Munro to my accom...

First day out of three in Arrochar. Flied in from Copenhagen the day before, and with bus from Edinburgh to Arrochar. As the forecast predicted best weather for a long walk day 1, I decided to go for a route I had planned for a while. This route included up to 3 munros with a number of escape routes...

$matches[2] Lessons learned: Always check the direction on maps, compas and gps in bad visibility - even when you feel sure about what you are doing. Ended up "forgetting" the southern summit (the real summit) and descending the northern ridge in stead of the ridge towards Beinn a'Chleibh...

Rain, Wind and Sun. No visibility the first 3 hours with periodic heavy rain and strong wind - after that, it became a brilliant walk with excellent visibility and even some sun. Five munros. Though, only four new on my bagging list as Broadcairn was bagged some years ago on a day with crazy wind fo...

Very boggy on many sections on way to the bealach under Beinn Dubhchrag, but there are always somehow to get around the wettest spot. There is a new bridge after the first boggy section right after the bridge over the train tracks, it is a bit funny with such a nice bridge as there are nothing but b...

Weather forecasts suggested that the visibility would be good today from around noon, and it turned out to be a good day with fantastic views. When I arrived at the first munro it was still covered in clouds, but they lifted during the next hour. Snow patches at the top of Coire na Tulaich and Coire...

Finally, back in Scotland, ready for some hill walking. No real hills in Denmark, highest point is 172 meters and 54 centimeters (Yding Skovhøj) - I guess nobody outside Denmark really consider that as a hill. Anyway, Denmark is still a nice place for hiking. After arriving to Edinburgh with plane f...

4 munros from Ben Lawers car park - on a rainy and windy day. Primary goal: Ben Lawers. Secondary goal: other munros eg An Stuc. Started from car park using the "highway" path (an excellent path) up to Beinn Ghlas - in bad visibility the blind summits might makes it fell a bit harder than ...

I actually joined this website for some time ago. I use it to plan my trips to the Highland, to select and prepare the walks. Here is a lot of good info and inspirations - the walk reports are very useful and a big help, so, thanks to all of you contributors. :clap: Anyway, it was about time to post...
