Re: Ben alder parking

The advice from walkhighlands is to park at the level crossing. I believe after having spoke to the local community.

Edit - link added.

Re: Ben Alder day trip

Great stuff and looked like a fine day out. It's a great area and quite close for me, so I've been in there a few times. Regarding the Lancet Edge, it doesn't fit in too well when doing the four munros, but I guess it just means a bit of back tracking. Well worth a visit though, and looks far more i...

Re: The North Face

I had a look at this and the videos highlight issues at climbing walls, running clubs etc. I don't think the issues apply to folk hillwalking in the Scottish Highlands. Maybe it would be handy for guides and instructors, but generally I don't see any barrier that doesn't affect all people and cultur...

Re: The North Face

If its not obvious to you why going into an environment dominated by another dominant culture and where you stand out might be intimidating maybe the course would do you good. If its the same dominant culture that run the society in which you are marginalised, vote for racist reactive governments a...

Re: Skye trail transportation

There's not so much hitch hiking in the highlands nowadays. Though the demographics have changed, you should still be able to get a lift to Uig or Portree where the bus options are better.

All the best :D

Re: Oban Bothy in April?

I'm not sure why the MBA persist with Oban Bothy, when it's unavailable a big chuck of the year. According to the MBA website the opening times vary from year to year. Not sure what the thought process behind that is with the estate. :? I also wonder about this though I get the point Essan is makin...

Re: Access from Dalwhinnie station

I think one possible future solution would be to build a path south from the walkers car park parallel to the railway straight to the underpass, but this obviously won't bring back the short circular route that used to be used by local dog walkers. Does anyone know why the gate has been locked at t...

Re: Access from Dalwhinnie station

Yes nothings changed.... ...and not likely to change for the better. If the locals who it affects the most have had no luck, no chance of folk representing outdoors folk affecting the decision. Cycling in, prob better using the underpass that the railway would prefer you to use, but for me use the c...

Re: The silliest sign you've seen on a walk?

Maybe not a silly sign but staying on the dog theme and very appropriate.

Re: Car park closures Glencoe

The car park is run by the NTS but I think littering is a crime. Possibly the police wouldn't be interested and I'm not sure what sort of authority or manpower the council have to deal with it....Good luck.

Re: 4 day (circular) hiking to Fort William not WHW?

With the issue of carrying a pack I suggest just pick a campsite and do day trips. Too much hassle arranging baggage transfers for every day. Some fine day walks can be done in Fort William and surrounding areas.

All the best :D
