Looks like a great day out - those mountains look so great with the snow patches on them. I'll be spending a few days in Braemar over Easter, so hoping for some similar weather and will be doing this same walk, I think. Beinn Mheadhoin is the big goal for the trip anyway. Good luck with the rest of ...

Great photos and an interesting route. But it was this sentence that made it a top report, for me. Added a nice touch of reality.

Not sure if this has been done on WH - anyway, my list changes year on year so I was curious to see what folks think of as their top ten hills 8) Here's mine ... Sgurr a Choire Bheithe ... Hmm - at this point:... Aww - I feel a bit sorry for Sgurr a Choire Bheite now. What happened that this hill h...

That looks like a lot of fun. A heck of a lot of fun. Some find these three boring, so the answer to that is, do them in winter. My regular walking comrades did these without me and said that they were boring and scarred by all the ski paraphernalia, but I quite fancy doing them with a bit of the wh...

That's very nice. I did these two a few days before you (last Saturday) and they were good fun, especially with the strong gusts of winds that were blowing across the col between the two. And both me and my colleague also ended up on our rumps when coming down through some of the boggy stuff on Meal...

I started years ago and im still plugging away. My plan was to be a compleater by 30.. Only a few months left gulp!!! Well I am 30 til November. Good luck with those final 6. Just wondering, I see you've got some of the best left to the end, was that intentional? Is there a particular mountain you ...

Beinn a'Chaorainn & Beinn Teallach , Loch Laggan (Glen Spean) weather = couldn't have been much better. Clear, sunny, great air clarity, bit of a cool breeze companion = Bothyman note 1: saw 4 Golden Eagles (3 flying together, beyond the Drumochter Pass, near Dalwhinnie - 1 from the South Top o...

Wow! Well, that's inspiring. I'm going to go away now and have a cup of tea, then I'm going to come back and read this again...

Congratulations sir, that was a fantastic week & a half.

Nice report. Sounds like an eventful day. The views down to the Loch and over to Braeriach from Sgor Gaoith's summit are breathtaking aren't they? Did the walking clothes poles work? :lol: This exact walk was my first taste of the Cairngorms in July '09 - although the old bridge in Glen Feshie was s...

I think Smidge was only new to the market last year, from a company set up by students at Edinburgh Uni. It's available in Tiso, and the like, but it's not cheap. Here's a link of stockists: http://2010.midgeforecast.co.uk/index.php/info/distributors We had read some good reviews about it so tried i...

That was great - some of the photo's and video clips really got my heart racing, even though I'm just sitting here on my sofa. I'd be straight onto Amazon looking for that White Spider book, but in a couple of days I'll be taking delivery of a couple of Reinhold Messner books, so those'll probably b...

Not much of a hill, but a good one to hold on to for a rainy day. But the views from the summit, on a clear day with good air clarity, are simply fantastic. I climbed this (and Stuchd an Lochain) on a sunny day in May '09 and the panorama was fantastic. One of my walking group bought a new camera i...

Thanks for the heads-up. I think I'll be watching this Eiger show tonight - maybe I'll follow that by watching Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction again...

Myself and a few others tried that new Smidge stuff last year, and we all thought it was better than Skin-so-Soft.

Change of tack this year, I'm hoping to get some camping done before the midges come out to play...

Companions = Dauphin, Bothyman, Blanket & San Weather = mild, with a strong, cold wind. Lots of snow patches on the hill tops, with occasional sprinkles of rain. note: saw a couple of ravens, mountain hare (in winter coat), ptarmigan (in mainly winter coat), grouse, pied wagtails, oystercatchers.
