To actually get out more. Work, Weather and Laziness for not having done more this year is my excuse but more of than not it is the latter reason. Primarily I need to make use of my holidays and get back to the north west coast. Wester Ross, Assynt and Sutherland. Better planning of journeys is als...

Hips? Hips!!

Stupidly ended up to my thighs recently wandering onto some of that bright green mossy plants that grows on top of waterlogged ground but if I went up to my hips in that temperatures I would be worried. Waterproofs are do not prevent water going up legs or down over the top.

I think little Wyvis might be one of these better viewed than climbed although if I am up that way again I might try it. Quite a good looking hill. I can understand not wanting to tackle Ben Wyvis if the legs are tired. Whoever decided that was the best route was a bit of a sadist. That said when I ...

Pity it was such an arduous journey in, a really nice area with fantastic views in some directions. The loch beside Carn Dearg is nicely set with the cliffs to the rear. I didn't have time to visit it closer. I went through Glen Banchor from the east rather than a route from the south. Although glea...

Very fortunate with the weather given the area. I stopped off at kylesku for some lunch and it has great views towards loch Glendhu. Definitely need to return although off of the beaten track that part of the world is pretty wild.

Getting above the clouds like that looks amazing. The type of day you have weatherwise can really change a summit.

https://ukma.org.uk/the-case-for-change/problems-arising-from-two-systems/walking-and-cycling/ A bit of information on how long it has been the case for OS maps at least. Personally I never really visualise distances anyway so someone saying a mile or a kilometre does not necessarily help me and in ...

Forget the whole Munro thing and go to Ben Rinnes as a started. It is steep but with a good path and has some great eroded rock formations on it.

Was down that way not too long ago. It is quite a nice area looking in certain directions.

Hopefully, the trees are done better than some of the other plantations. Like the one directly across the road from where you were.

A very beautiful glen, but quite a steep hill. Coming at it from the north west was pretty tough going.

Somehow dogs always find something to roll in. Although I think I will leave the bathing in the water to them at this time of year.

Hi,

The region part of walkhighlands might include Ben Alder but it does not actually fall inside the national park boundary.

You can find the boundary on google maps, and it is also displayed as a yellow line on some of the maps in the gps planner part of this site.

I was thinking of mentioning my first munro which was Ben Avon. It was sunny but incredibly windy and no way was I going up no rock in that weather to claim the "true" summit. Across to Beinn a'Bhuird and do you really need to touch the summit cairn to say you have climbed it. It is not ex...

Can't say I go out alone for any soul searching, more just I like the views it offers and I dislike groups. Voluntarily going out for hours at a time with others would just be odd.

I was looking into that area last year but the snows came so I put it off, guess I will mark that area down for 2020 then.

Good, I made a circular route of Glas Tulaichean a couple of years ago and only then realised that there was not a crossing. Had to just wade through the river. Loved the setting of Loch nan Eun at the top of Glean Taitneach, so might head back.
