LOST Tent near Ben Alder Cottage

Yes I know...how did you lose your tent you incompetent buffoon? :roll: Presumably it fell off my rucksack between Loch Rannoch and Ben Alder Cottage (bothy), however, on retracing my steps I couldn't find it. Likely in the pine woods to the South of the bothy. If not it could be somewhere in the Bl...

Re: Out The Front Door (a 500km walk to Cape Wrath)

Cheers folks! Nick - you're absolutely right the French guy was called Marc and the Spanish Alejandro! I would absolutely recommend going for this walk, I think everyone must find it a bit intimidating (me absolutely included) so I wish you all the best with the trail and hope you have as good a tim...

Out The Front Door (a 500km walk to Cape Wrath)

In many ways this walk started 4 years ago, frustrated by an apparent lack of freedom to roam my local hills as I pleased (probably wise as I was only 12!) I asked my mum when I could put all my plans into action and go on a proper adventure. Surely by the time I was 16 I could do so; that was basic...

Beinn a' Choin in clag

Bedraggled and disheartened by the constant downpour that had followed us on the 15km forest cycle from Kinlochard, me and Michael, a friend from school, gazed up into the cloud above us. The plan was to top the 3 hills of the Corriearklet circuit but it didn't look likely - an estimation that later...

Plans For the Cape Wrath Trail

Hi all, I will be 16 years old in summer and plan to walk from my house in the Trossachs to Cape Wrath. I have done a bit of walking and overnight trips before and totally understand what I'm in for in terms of fitness. I have found it relatively easy to plan my route and intend to join the West Hig...

A bog, a burn and a bird, a loop in Glen Artney

To cut a couple of tar-mac kilometers we drove up past the Bracklinn falls car park and parked beneath a bundle of shoes hanging from the telephone. http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r606/hillinnit/IMG_4050_zpsdqt3a6rm.jpg The starting line http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r606/hillinnit/IMG_40...

Binnean nan Gobhar from the East

Cycled - 6km Walked -8km I'll be the first to admit it - unless you have a bike (or a friend who works on pylons) or fancy a 8km, each way, trudge through never ending sitka then getting to the hill from Loch Ard is probably not for you. However, the ascent from Kinlochard provides stunning views of...

Blairvaich and Duchray Cottage

The forest track up to the cross roads is pleasant but closed in with trees on all sides. Rare glimpses through the trees provide views of Loch Ard and the island. The track passes under the magnificent engineering of the aqueduct that carries water from Loch Katrine to Glasgow. From here you can se...

Kinlochard to Inversnaid (neep-free)

It was late for me to be setting off on a walk, afternoon as me and Heather set off up the steep path dubbed 'The Bear Tree Walk' that squelches its way up to join a larger forest track. We had wet feet within minutes but at least it wasn't raining, yet... At Loch Dhu we were forced onto the main ro...
