Camped by Loch Naver.near Altnaharra. Dropped off with another party who walked up to the summit. We walked round on the escarpmet and selected what we thought was Bells route and climbed this rocky /grassy rib to the top. Came out near the cairn and met the other party. Descended with them back to ...

Found my old 1967 diary

Done during search for guy who left his mother at Inchnadamph Hotel and apparently went for a walk. Spent several days searching the area for him until he turned up in Manchester ! Far enough away to escape a summary lynching by the folks out searching for him ! However, did Conival and Ben more Ass...

T'is a cauld blaw t'day....... Having spent this week nursing a cold picked up at an 18th Birthday party, I was about to test my theory of "walking it off ". Picked up Harvey and headed west into the shower clouds and a cold NWesterly. Felt like it was coming straight from the pole.Stumped...

Best day of the week so far - weatherwise. H up for his jabs today, so just the twa G's. Drove along Deeside in fine sunshine to park at Keiloch and stump up their parking fee. Luckily, it took a credid card as I'd no cash on me....... Creag a Chait.gpx Parking at Keiloch.JPG Readied ourselves in a ...

Another iffy week with the weather, Heavy rain in Westhill most of the week, but a window, promised today. Fair this morning and Harvey back from his holidays, so picked him up and headed west. Surprised by a Range Rover whooshing by us on one of the B9119 straights, doing an estimated ton. Must've ...

Just found one of my old diaries with this walk recorded. Couldn't remember doing Sg an Fhuarain, just remember dropping down from the bealach. Prob just nipped along the track on the ridge to the top, since I was fit enough at the time to make it a trivial ascent. I thought at the timethe track con...

After studying the weather, we resorted to plan B. The original plan for Glen Isla was shelved due to forecast morning snow - wimp ! Plan B was initiated with a visit to Hillbagging Section 8 low-level Tumps on the N side of the A93 road at Crathie. No Harvey this week, as he's on holiday in Aviemor...

A family away-day to Stanley organised by my kids. Billeted in the braw Hobart House in the middle of Stanley. IMG_2453.JPG A saturday morning walk with the family prior to the Six Nations Rugby watchathon later in the day. Bluebell Wood.gpx Lost the convoy on the way to the start of the walk & ...

An iffy day, weatherwise. Some rain and light cloud forecast. Nonetheless, we picked up Harvey and sped along Deeside - skirmishing with the Aboyne Academy school buses on the way. After Braemar, the sleet and cloud closed in forebodingly. No snow on the road this time, but a smattering at lower lev...

A murky day......only one hill planned to minimise the discomfort ! A wee scuff o snow on the road as we breasted the bealach above the ski centre, but clear down to the Spittal It was drizziling as we parked in the layby on the main road just N of Old Spittal Farm and the Cateran Trail. Bad an Lion...

Our first serious outing this year & testing Cath. A fine view of Lochnagar, resplendant in a fresh mantle of snow as we passed Ballater. A glorious winter day in brilliant sunshine, with a smattering of snow on the road as we drove up Glen Clunie. Skittered over the top and down to the car park...

Had a few diversions recently with plumbing probs, prep for an uncles 100th and a personal 80th birthday, so a late start to the 2024 walking season. Unlike GC, who celebrated his 80th with a walk on the Cairn o Mount, I wimped out and had a family sunday lunch..... Morning has broken 23 2 24 Westhi...

Back to the regular walks after a wee interregnum due to Birthday parties and Reunions. Took pity on Harvey and dispensed with the bikes for the hurl along the loch to Inchgrundle Joined the hordes on the AWPR and A90 before turning off at Luthermuir then up Glen Esk. Parked at the end of the glen w...

It's been a wee while since we'd been on the hill, and the weather has been somewhat inclement of late, so it was a local "warmup" hill between the frontal systems sweeping acros the east coast driven by storm Ceiran. Meikle Tap - Copy.gpx Scuttled across the road from the layby to negotia...
