I assume you know which ones and why?

Likely all change next week but if your lucky I occasionally get a glimpse of the Strathfarrer hills fro near the house. There'll be fresh snow high up this week but at this time of the year will melt really fast.

No need to cross the Mamores! Follow Glen Nevis up over the watershed to Meanach and then an easy track down to Kinlochleven. The upper parts of Glen Nevis and across the watershed don't have much of a path and can be boggy, but there's nothing technically difficult. Could be done in a day, but dep...

Can’t quite work out what you are trying to do? I assume some sort of public transport aided walk if you are starting in Newtonmore?

It’s barely visible from an airliner at cruising altitude never mind at 3000ft

I wrote this report after three months and now I am smiling about it. Fortunately, the bad is mostly forgotten and only the better memories remain.

Type 2 fun then.

The no.11, on the other hand, takes 34 minutes.

There’s a train now of course but is a 10 minute walk from the terminal or shuttle bus.

Memorable eagles, there’s been lots. One soared past us riding a thermal on the Devils Point. Two adults and two juveniles circling above us on the cioch nose Scaring the living daylights out of ourselves and the eagle when walking northwards on Stob an t-Sluichd. It was only a few meters away tucke...

Not done the Cowal Way as such but various hills utilise bits of it and I've not been that taken with it. Pretty boggy in places.

Bathgate Hills are excellent , some great walks
Combine the Knock Hill to Witches Craig , Beecraigs and Cockleroy

Plenty for a day out

Binny Craig is nice too and um Greendykes Bing has its moments

I would have been wary of the burn crossing. Don't tell me, it was just a an easy to step over narrow burn. Good views of the crags there too and a nice waterfall. Next time... There is a bridge (not marked on the maps) across the Markie Burn a bit further on at NN588983 (or at least I assume it is...

It is frustrating waiting for the snow to clear, seems to be never ending this winter! I'm waiting until the snow clears before getting back on the hills, but a low level hike tomorrow is on the cards You can count on the fingers of one hand the years when you could expect to go up a munro in March...

Looks like a good route on satellite imagery. Enjoy your walk. The mention of the Glen Clova Hotel made me smile, bought back memories from the 1980s when my university mountaineering club stayed in a hut at the head of the glen for a week one Easter. No doubt it has changed bit since then! It has ...

If you look at the aerial photography (bing maps better than google) the track is pretty obvious apart from a more grassy looking section.

It is a fine route , only been that way once.
Didnt know about the winter climbs but they are all there and documented. https://routes.smc.org.uk/crag/5500
