Re: Really unfit -tips for training for Munro Walk on 12th J

.... the boggiest bit you will face all day is the field next to the car park at the start of the walk. Top tip :wink: don't go over the stile. Go through/over the gate at the end of the layby. Then there is a faint track turning right over a little hump heading for the underpass. Its still a littl...

And what's more amazing is our local GO actually has the item in stock ... that's a first for me :clap: I really do apologise for hi-jacking the thread and being OT ... but ... Just back from GoOutdoors ... got the boo...

Re: hiking vs mountaineering boots

Scarpa Manta are a great winter/allround boot and they are on offer from £250 RRP to £110 in the sale at Rock and Run!!! Amazing price, never leak either. :wink: Worth buying to have spare at that price!! Chris I just picked a pair of the above, using Go Outdoor's Price Match (plus 10%) offer. £99 ...

Re: Meall Corranaich & Meall a'Choire Leith

Good going, 3 hours for this round! These hills give great views towards their impressive neighbours, another good reason to climb them. Love the picture of the lightly dusted An Stuc! :D Thanks :) The views across the rest of the range were stunning. I hadn't realised my time until I was back at t...

Re: Beinn a' Ghlo, Glen Tilt & Glen Bruar Munro's

Impressive stuff, that's a big day out.

I've already done Beinn a'Ghlo, but you've inspired me to combine Beinn Dearg and Carn a'Chlamain into a single outing. I'll be adding that to my to-do list. Thanks for the insipritation :D

Re: Lawers lunch

I like your photographs, they've really captured the ambience of the day. I was on Meall Corranaich today and could see a few people on the way up Ghlas ... it might have been yourselves :)

My views across to Ghlas and Lawers were great today, so its good to see it from the other side in your pics.

Meall Corranaich & Meall a'Choire Leith

I bagged the rest of the Lawers range last year, but I was never in a hurry to get these two. A lot of the reports really highlight the hellish boggy conditions, but I didn't think it was that bad. On the return leg I kept expecting the worst around every corner ... but before I knew it I was back o...

Re: allermuir, culter fell, dogs and cattle

I don't know about Allermuir, but there was only sheep on the ascent of Culter Fell when I was there in February.

Re: Beinn Chabhair in the April Sunshine

Eerie timing with your post. I was just home from doing Beinn Chabhair this morning and ticking off that blue balloon when I saw your post. The trek from Beinglas to the ridge doesn't sound much fun at all. It's a shame the bog fest detracted from your day, but at least you had great weather! I'm su...
