Beinn Tulaichean & Cruach Ardrain

A cloudy morning for the drive up to Inverlochlarig, where it was muggy and midgey on arrival. $matches[2] I walked along the track and past the farm buildings to gain the track leading to wards Glen Inverlochlaraig. There was a path of sorts leading up the long slopes to Beinn Tulaichean, where the...

Buchaille Etive Beag

The hottest day of the year for the drive up to Kingshouse. Although we were off quite early, it was still pretty hot as we made our way into the valley, then up the unremitting slopes to the ridge. $matches[2] $matches[2] Once there, we decided on Stob Coire Raineach first and it seemed to take an ...

Carn na Caim

The hot weather continued and we made our way to Drumochter, where thankfully the higher altitude made things a bit more comfortable. The track leading up to and, indeed, along the plateau made for easy walking. Being in the middle of the country made for lovely views, albeit distant, of Ben Alder, ...

Beinn a'Chuallaich

A muggy and mainly overcast day for this walk. I parked up on the road above Kinloch Rannoch, then started to make my way uphill through the fern, trying not to think about ticks too much! To lengthen the walk a little, I choose to make for the 743m top to the east of Meall nan Eun. From there, it i...

An Socach

A sunny day for a very peasant walk. We parked at the rough layby on the A93 and enjoyed the easy walk up the glen, before leaving the track and following the path up the shoulder to the Munro top. On my previous visit in 1995, it was quite a slog along the stony ridge to the main top, but there is ...

Cairnsmore of Carsphairn

Not a great forecast for further north, so I headed down to Galloway for my third ascent of this hill, although on the previous two occasions, I have not had a view. Parked at the Green Well of Scotland just before 9 and made my way along the very stony track, which made for quite tedious walking. B...

Carn a'Chlamain

A damp start to the day for the drive to Old Bridge of Tilt. The walk up the glen was straightforward, although we had a fright at Marble Lodge when a fighter jet went screaming down the glen. Since my last visit (2002) there is now a landrover track almost the whole way to the summit, although it d...

Beinn Dorain & Beinn an Dothaid

Having enjoyed my walk at Auch last week, I decided to return to the area for these two munros. A cloudy, but mild day, with quite a lot of midges in attendance when we parked at Bridge of Orchy, although a breeze on the hill kept them at bay. The initial walk uphill was easier than on my previous v...

Beinn Mhanach

A frustratingly long drive up die to a slow-moving lorry that would not pull in to allow passing. However, I arrived at the boundary of the NP just before 9. The initial walk down the WHW to Auch was very pleasant, although it did mean there would be an uphill finish to the day. $matches[2] Once I t...

Beinn Chuirn

As the forecast was a dryish morning, with wind and rain moving in, we get an early start and arrived at Dalrigh just before nine. As always, a lovely walk along the track to Coronish. $matches[2] Once past the farm, we passed through the two gates, before picking up a very faint path leading uphill...

Creag McRanaich & Meall an t Seallaidh

Plenty of spaces at the Lochearnhead car park when we arrived at 8.45. A cloudy start to the day, but dry. We were glad of the Walk Highlands information to navigate through the tracks and paths leading seamlessly to Glen Kendrum. $matches[2] It remained grey and overcast as we walked up the good tr...

Coran of Portmark, Bow & Meaul

Parked at a quiet Green Well of Scotland just before 9 for the pleasant walk up to the abandoned mining village beyond Garryhorn, where we had our break in the sunshine. The track to Knockower wanders a bit, but is easy to follow. From the col with Corran of Portmark, it is only a short walk to the ...

Benvane

A sunny, but cold morning as I parked in Balquhidder for the pleasant walk along the minor road to Ballimore. $matches[2] There was a beaten out path leading up the north ridge, which made the going a bit easier and after just over an hour, I arrived at the first top of the ridge. It was good to fee...

Ben Vane

I arrived at Inveruglas car park at 8.30 and whilst there were some spaces, it was filling up quickly! A beautiful, sunny morning. $matches[2] $matches[2] As there were some bridge repairs being carried out, a diversion was in place, which had the bonus of being off the hard road. The path to the su...

Cnoc Coinnich

A beautiful sunny morning when I parked at Ardgarten for the walk along the quiet road to Coilessan. Although there were signs at Ardgarten to say that the Coilessan car park was closed, it was only when I arrived at Coilessan that there were signs saying that the area was closed due to felling. Had...
