The Corbett with the long name

This is one of the hills we usually visit in December/January as it is only a short drive from home and takes 3-4 hours to climb, depending on how fit you are. So far, we usually went up and down the forest track, starting by the bridge over Abhainn an Torrain Dubh. Today, for a change, we opted for...

The Rinnes Blues

There's an old saying in Polish, that the way you spend the New Year's Day is the way you'll spend the rest of the year. For many people this would mean spending the whole year in bed on hangover :lol: :lol: :lol: but we had other plans. It had snowed a lot in the last days of 2023 and since forecas...

New Year's Eve in Torridon

Hello again, fellow Walkhighlanders and mountain maniacs. I admit I spend too much time on other social media and I'm struggling to keep myself motivated to update my blog here, but OK, here's another chapter. The last day of 2023 was crazy in Torridon, all car parks full to bursting, so to be able ...

Boxing Day on Burach: hope not lost yet!

Happy New Year 2024, everyone! No, I haven't gone anywhere. Just had another quiet period... Maybe it's time to return to posting my stories here. I'll try. I've been so busy recently with my NAFO service, that I had neither time nor the inspiration to write long stories about our hill wanders. I wa...

Re: A Drowned World

Happy New Year to you both, and what a way to break into 2024. We managed two Subs and an easy Corbett during Xmas break. Kevin's back is getting better, if slowly. I must go back to posting reports. The Websters told me that you are about to overtake me as the most read blogger on WH :lol: :lol: :l...

Re: Last of the year: Beinn na Caillich and co

Happy New Year, guys, I see you are back to doing crazy things!

I might be mad but not mad enough to swim in a Scottish stream in December!!!

Re: Ben Rinnes 1/1/24

Was it this brocken spectre?... :wink: :wink: :wink: ben rinnes 079.JPG I think I caught you on my camera. We were on the summit when the spectre appeared, we came from the north-west. It's a nice route as well and we had done the usual approach so many times before that we wanted to try something e...

Re: The Wind Season

Yes, I can recommend the full traverse of BF, we will definitely do it again, hopefully next year. Good to see you guys up there regardless of the recent sh**y weather. We had good late August - September, bagging mostly Munro tops (I just can't find time and energy to write TRs any more). Sadly, Ke...

In the clouds above Glen Avon

I haven't posted a TR including a plane crash site for a long time but it doesn't mean we didn't visit any! In 2022 and 2023 (so far) we located an photographed over 20 sites, mostly WW2 times. Some are more interesting than the others, some are simply legendary: Braeriach (two aircraft in one trip!...

The battle of the bog

Beinn Gaire and Croit Bheinn. Most hillwalkers don't even know of theses hills existence and maybe it is for the better because anyone deciding to tackle this duo doesn't really know what they are facing. Neither did we. We hoped for a decent day in a remote, quiet corner of Ardgour, but what we got...

You spin me right round, Suilven, right round...

Back in 2011, when I first climbed Suilven, I was young, wild and untamed. Life seemed so simple and the mountains had this romantic call I couldn't resist, I wasn't pragmatic and I didn't care about list ticking. I just wanted to be out there and taste the true flavour of the hills. Twelve years la...

Assynt as yet unseen: Beinn Reidh

During the east-to-west traverse of Canisp, we tried to work out how to climb the neighbouring Sub2000 Marylin, Beinn Reidh, without having to cross River Loanan near Inchnadamph. We didn't mind a longer walk, actually, we were tempted by the lochs and lochans near the summit area and hoped for some...

Re: KONTERNASTUP continues... in Glen Affric

The slopes steepened again for the final drop into the glen: $matches[2] To reach the bottom of Gleann na Ciche and pick an estate track which would take us back to our bikes, we had to negotiate another deer fence (a very wobbly one, I nearly fell of it :lol: ) and then descend about 50m through a ...

KONTERNASTUP continues... in Glen Affric

Each successful counteroffensive requires patience. Things have to be planned in advance and then the progress made step by step. For us, at the moment, success doesn't mean bagging a lot of new hills since we have hardly anything left to bag and what's left is logistically awkward or too far away t...
