Re: If you like Wind Turbines........

Thanks, Martin. It was a grand day out, wind turbines notwithstanding.

The Whangie

A wee leg stretcher with Gillian A. We didn't actually make it to the Whangie itself (which I believe is the bouldery bit), but we did climb up to the trig point (Queen's View), then down to the reservoir (don't know the name of it), and had a bit of a stomp around the rough pathless ground that's p...

Re: I Think The WH Timings On This One Might Be A Tad Genero

Well done on reaching 100, Gary! :clap: :clap:
We missed you in Glen Etive, but I'm glad you found good weather and views, too.

Ben Starav

Left home, 05:30; met Martin in Crianlarich, 7:00 Left Glen Etive car park, 08:00 Ben Starav, 12:30 Back to car, 17:00; home ~20:00 I couldn’t have moved any faster if my life depended on it. Maybe I’m just worn out from the whole summer. At any rate, I was dismayed (and concerned) when I realized t...

Re: Spectre(acular) Starav

Martin, here’s one for/of you: martin_ben_starav.jpg Thanks for not making me sound like too much of a wimp. :) When we finally met up with Karen she was very chipper and was telling us about how she had had a memorable "deer" experience, I will let her describe the gory details :wink: As ...

Re: Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor, this w/e 11 or 12th Oct

At the risk of upsetting a nicely settled apple cart (and Flump's state of bliss), do we want to rethink the start time?

Re: Hill Walking and Deer Stalking

I'd just written all of this over on Huff 'n Puff's WR about walker/stalker interaction, and rather than hijacking her report, figured it'd be better said in this forum. Where I saw this timely thread already started. It was nice to hear about HnP's experience; too often, it's only the negative expe...

Re: Walkers meet stalkers for an diversion on Carn Chuinnea

It's good to hear that Landowners and Hillwalkers can work together to solve a problem, resulting in a positive outcome for both parties, well done guys. I agree, it's nice to hear about a positive interaction; too often, it's only the negative ones that get reported on here. Thanks for sharing it!

Re: Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor, this w/e 11 or 12th Oct

Saturday is good for me. :D :D (priorities now in order :lol: ) Yay! :clap: Meet at the usual spot? At whatever time suits y'all, as long as it's after 6:15... :lol: -- it's not getting light 'til after 7 anyway, and this *should* be a somewhat shorter day compared to other recent adventures...

Re: Sun, snow, hail and rainbows

Nice report, BP, and beautiful pics; you did get far better views than we did. Even so, I really enjoyed these hills, and would like to go back on a better day. (PS I had a little giggle at your comment on our Grey Corries adventure: I was so fed up when we got to the river, I couldn't bear all the ...

Re: Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor, this w/e 11 or 12th Oct

ya, sure, why not. Two Munros, three, seventeen...whatever. :roll: I prefer Sat as well; I think it was Chris who asked for Sun (something about that work thing...obviously, he doesn't have his priorities in order :lol: ) btw, I called the estate today to ask about stalking, and we're good to go on ...

Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor, this w/e 11 or 12th Oct

Sunday 12th looking more amenable to the majority, but the final plan is weather-dependent. Backpacker is looking for the most favourable forecast, and will report back once he finds the one that's most agreeable to him. :lol: Probably following this route, unless someone leads us down an undiscover...

Re: Views at last - in all weathers

What a fabulous day it was!

Brilliant report, Martin, as usual, with stunning photos. Here's one that includes you:

Thanks, all, for another incredible adventure.

Re: Arrochar Alps round - advice please

Quick clarification on the A82 road closure, if you're basing your start point based on the information I posted -- you can get as far as Inveruglas from the south (but not past it).
