I first climbed these hills on a wet June Saturday in 1980. I must have driven past them hundreds of times since and felt cheated that I hadn't enjoyed the view - especially from Beinn Dorain. I had therefore saved the reascent for a clear day and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I parked at the now...

My planned walk yesterday was postponed after a poor weather forecast, so I found myself heading up the A9 on a bright morning, with all to play for. Unfortunately, after such an encouraging start to the day, you can imagine my disappointment 10 minutes from Balsporran, when the could rolled in and ...

Thanks - 1982 was the last time I climbed these hills, then from the NTS car park. It was good to revisit them.

A brighter morning as forecast we we set off to the Lawers range. Passed Ben Ledi and Benvane, where I was last weekend, then on through Killin and up the wee road past Lochan na Lairge to park just beyond the cairn at the summit of the pass. Considering this is a school holiday, the roads were incr...

Good pics to see what the route is like between Ben Ledi and Benvane, the path looks decent, thanks! I was just plotting a GPX for this route recently. Don't think the other half would enjoy it though since it looks like about 1 hour 45 to reach the second Corbett and she's not had to deal with the...

After an enforced absence, it was good to get back out on the hill. A glorious morning, but as I suspected that the Falls of Leny car park would be busy, I left early and arrived at 8.15. Even at that hour, there were quite a few cars there and only a few places remaining. Parked up and was on my wa...

I decided to take advantage of Scotrail's £1 return ticket to travel on the West Highland Line to Tyndrum Lower. Beinn Dubhcraig holds fond memories for me - it was here I went for my first hillwalk. I was in first year at secondary school and we trooped off in football boots and carrying duffle bag...

After a recent spell of poor health, it was good to be heading back to the hills for my first day out after the excitement of my final Munro last month. It was a beautiful autumnal day as we drove up through Perth and onto the car park at Braes o'Foss. The car park was quite quiet when we got their ...

After much procrastination, I could put Fisherfield off no longer. My main concern about tackling these hills from Shenaval was the river crossing, but I thought that an approach from the east, via Loch a'Bhraoin would avoid this problem. I set off from home mid-afternoon to drive up the A9 and head...

I had seen this walk in the Grahams guidebook and had been looking forward to it for a long time. As the forecast was for bright conditions in the morning, replaced by rain, I made an early start and enjoyed the drive over the Rest and be Thankful and down Loch Eck to Glen Massan. It was then a fair...

I thought I would like to climb Cnoc Coinnich after its recent transfer from Graham to Corbett, although I had climbed this hill in the winter of 2012. Rather than drive to the Coilessan car park, I decided to start the walk at Ardgarten, thus making it more of a day. There had been quite a lot of s...

A short hop up to Pitlochry to climb a hill I had not been on since 1997 - Ben Vrackie, the hill with the four memorial benches on its slopes! Parked at Moulin, where there are plenty of spaces, although I would imagine that it must get quite busy at weekends. A torrential downpour just as we parked...

An early start as I wanted to climb this hill before driving home after a night at Ratagan SYHA. 2016-06-23 06.49.27 (640x428).jpg Just a short drive from the Hostel along the main road and parked to use the path that accesses The Saddle. It was a bright and dry morning. The path leading from the gl...

A long drive up to the walker-friendly Attadale Estate, where I parked up in the late afternoon for the walk in to Beinndronaig bothy. I had been looking forward to this walk, but must admit it has been ruined by the estate's decision to "upgrade" the track. My understanding is that this w...
