For my last day in the Caingorms, the plan was an ascent of Bynack More. On arriving at Glemore visitor centre, I took the decision to head up over Meall a'Bhuachaille rather than via the Ryvoan Pass. This would be my first Corbett, given that I'd chickened out of going through the eye on the Cobble...

First full day of my holiday in the Caingorms, and I'd decided on an ascent of Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm. The weather forecast wasn't particularly great - persistent hill fog, rain, increasing wind, with the possibility of a thunderstorm later in the afternoon, the first half of the morning providin...

Enjoyed the two main Glyders even in the damp and mist - it's a very atmospheric summit ridge with all those odd rock formations. I'd definitely go back and do them again at some point when I get the chance - probably from the Ogwen side, and hopefully with a view next time

.

After a couple of days of fairly poor weather, Thursday dawned bright and sunny with the forecast for the day ahead excellent. It was also the day I was supposed to be travelling home from Snowdonia, but I was determined to get at least a decent half-day's walk in before departing. I ended up taking...

Arriving up at Pen-y-Pass just after nine on Tuesday morning wasn't exactly the most encouraging of starts to a day's walking I've ever had - raining steadily with heavy clag skimming not very far above my head. If not for the fact that the forecast for Wednesday - my other main walking day on this ...

That first section of the path I used is probably quite faint and not visible from the bottom. If you're standing at the last gate on the main track up to the falls (where I took the photo of the falls from) there's a path that runs north-east up the slope to the left, away from the falls, heading t...

Stunning photos, and looks like a brilliant day :). Liathach has to be just about my favourite looking mountain anywhere, not just in the UK. Not sure I'll ever have the nerve to attempt it, because by my standards a lot of it looks downright terrifying. And the 'trickier than it looks' bit looks pl...

Many thanks for the Elidir Fawr ID :) . That was my first guess, but since I didn't check the direction I was facing other than south-ish I'd convinced myself I was probably wrong about that. And yep, I think doing the route in reverse, starting out at the bottom of Aber falls is probably a better w...

Given the good weather earlier this week it seemed almost criminal for me not to try and take advantage of it, so on Tuesday I took the day off work and headed out into the hills. I decided on the Northen Carneddau, since it was relatively easy for me to get to and from inside a day, and it's not a ...

I didn't get chance to visit the station house this time round. Only got back a few minutes before my train was due.

Agreed about the sense of remoteness, but because of the station, it's a remoteness that it feels effortless to get into and out of.

Hi there from a relatively novice walker.

I've found this site a fantastic resource over the past few weeks, and have really been inspired by reading some of the fantastic reports.

Hope to add one or two of my own now and then.

Over the past year and a bit I've really started to get the walking bug, but until this past week I'd never attempted a munro - which seemed something of a glaring omission. Heading up to Fort William for a couple of days gave me the chance to rectify that. My first was Ben Nevis, up the mountain pa...
