our_route.gpx Another bike and hike today - this time starting at the car park in old Bridge of Tilt. We followed the route described as far as the bothy where we were initially going to leave our bikes. However, after starting to walk up the track towards the stalkers path we thought it was also r...

$matches[2] We started later (10.30) as the weather forecast suggested an improvement after that time. Indeed, there was little rain all the way round our route, but it was still very windy on high ground. As with the previous day we started on our bikes and rode up to and past the Corryhully bothy...

$matches[2] Started from the lay-by near the junction of the A830 and A861 in heavy rain. Used mountain bikes as far as the foot of Gulvain, but then inexplicably chose to follow our own line up steep tussock (wet) grass, only finding the track after a few hundred metres of hard slog ensuring I was...

$matches[2] After a poor night's sleep at the camp site in Roy Bridge (big shout out the the obnoxious bunch of drunks who turned up at about 1am and sat around drinking and talking loudly) we thought we would shorten our planned walk in the Aonachs by taking the Gondola (this didn't feel like chea...

our_route.gpx After taking the train from Roy Bridge we set off at 08.35 into misty weather. The route is very clear to Peter's Rock after which we just set off on a bearing east up boggy tussock grass, eventually reaching the high point of the ridge which we then followed to the summit of Carn Dea...

Thanks for sharing, it took me back to when I did all seven in a day, and how tired I was after the first two hills (which was no doubt due to a high speed walk up from the A 827). Luckily, looking at the munros I've got left I guess the most I will have to do in a day to compleat will be four

our_route.gpx For the last day of our Easter trip we wanted to get a bit closer to home to reduce the journey on BH Monday, so decided on one of the outstanding hills in Bridge of Orchy. As a bonus the weather was forecast to be fine, which we welcomed after the last couple of days. After driving d...

our_route.gpx Although the weather was still poor for day three of our Easter trip we didn't have far to go from our bunkhouse in Newtonmore to the start point - and we hoped we could get round and back to see some of the Shinty game that afternoon. We followed the route from the parking area in Gl...

our_route.gpx Fifteen years after first visiting the Cairngorms Neil and I headed for Glen Fenshie to finish the munros in this area (although we didn't make a conscious decision to do the munros until 2010). After the drive down the glen we set off from Achlean following the track east, slightly u...

our_route.gpx Our Easter trip saw us hoping to finish the munros of the Cairngorm and Monadh Liath. As we didn't expect to arrive in the area until about 10am we decided on Bynack More as it was the shortest of our planned walks. We followed the WH route from Glenmore without incident of note, with...

our_route.gpx With the weather set to worsen later in the day I wanted to get up and down without messing about and start driving home. To that end arrived at the jump off point at 08.30 and followed the path along the aqueduct, past the pumping station and towards the loch. The summit was shrouded...

our_route.gpx Parked by the dam and set off north along the path to the east of the Markie burn. Crossed at fords near the confluence with Piper's burn and then headed NW initially following the burn then veering more northwards just before Lochan a' Choire. Once on the summit ridge head W then SW ...

our_route.gpx For our annual mid-summer trip Neil and I were hoping to finish off the munros around Loch Treig as well as a trio near to Fort William. The week commencing the 19th of June saw most of the country basking in a mini heatwave, so I made a mental note to pack some sun cream (if only I k...

Having walked more than 200 of my munros to date with Neil I was to have a different walking companion for number 220. My lovely wife Nicola would be taking her munro total to 1 and putting aside her ambivalence towards the hills to celebrate with me a special event 28 years previous. For on Saturda...

our_route.gpx The last day of our Easter trip and we headed for Glen Etive to finish off the two we had not completed on our last visit to the glen a few years earlier. We followed the normal route on by now tired legs, but at least the weather had improved. From Beinn Chaorach it was an easy climb...
