Re: A perfect day on Ben Macdui

Thanks all, it was a special day in the hills - I'm glad the enthusiasm came across!

A perfect day on Ben Macdui

We had our annual winter trip to the Highlands, and this year we made a change to our usual West Coast trip and decided to spend a few days in the Cairngorms in order to explore the Northern Corries. Against the run of recent luck, we finally hit the jackpot - a perfect forecast on day 1! Our origin...

Re: Ardgour overnighter - Camasnagaul to Corran

Awake early and I could hear what sounded like rain on the tent
:lol: I experienced that horrible sensation the other day - I didn't know they could be so noisy!

Great report of an area I'm unfamiliar with.

Re: Ladhar Bheinn Out Loud

Thanks Alteknacker. You can actually get the forecasts on the Met Office website - just type in the mountain name in the forecast area box and Bob's your Uncle, i.e. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/ladhar-bheinn-highland#?tab=fiveDay&fcTime=1402268400 Tomsie - Monty isn't a D...

Re: Ladhar Bheinn Out Loud

litljortindan - thanks, it was a thoroughly invigorating trip and we can't get the place out of our heads now. AnnieMacD - yes it was a fine ridge - the best of walking is ridges. I read an article somewhere that said it was to be a bumper year for midges because of the wet winter and spring. A few ...

Ladhar Bheinn Out Loud

We had long planned a trip to the Highlands this June. With money being a bit tight this year, we'd decided to take the plunge and do some wild camping to save a few sheets on accommodation. However, as we got ever closer to our time away, the weather forecast got progressively worse with a depressi...

Re: Little Miss Chloe's 1st Munro: Aged 4 and a bit.

Love it - the only reason I got into walking was being taken on countless holidays to the Lake District as a child. This started the obsession which still continues tpday and I will no doubt pass this onto any future offspring! I think the only reason I'm looking forward to having kids is so I can i...

Re: Music with a hill reference in the title....

This is a cool thread - I've always felt that mountains and music go hand in hand. 'The undiscovered first' by Feist features lots of mountain references, although like many of the songs here I think a lot of the lyrics about mountains are metaphors about love rather than actually about mountains! B...

Re: CMD Arete & Ben Nevis, Alpine Style...?!

Wonderful - although it seems fashionable among some walkers to give Ben Nevis the cold shoulder for being too busy and touristy, the ascent via the CMD arete still ranks as one of the best days I've ever had on any mountain in my years so far! I'd love to do it in the conditions you did it in - ser...

Re: Warning - contains gratuitous shots of the big Buachaill

Thanks all, it was indeed a fantastic day out! It was just pure luck about those stag shots and the weather and majestic surroundings made it very easy to get good photos. Reminiscing over it now brings back happy memories - it was only just over a month ago, but seems like an age. It'll be a long h...

Re: The Finest Ridge walk in UK?CMD arete in perfect winter

This is one of those reports when I can't find any words that are good enough to truly describe the photos - 'stunning' and 'awesome' and 'sublime' seem a bit tame! :clap:
