Thanks Anne. So glad you got the idea and were able to go and see the views for yourselves! :D

Mussels on the ferry and a bonny castle on Mull

After grey skies and rainy days in Glencoe we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful morning in Oban when we arrived for the ferry to Mull. After doing a food shop at the supermarket we put the car in its place in the queue and I took the dog for a wander round the ferry terminal. This ship caug...

Mystery houses in the forest

I did this walk from Riverbank Cottages, Upper Carnoch, hence the longer distance recorded. The forecast was for rain for four of the days we were in Glencoe so on those days we took whatever rain-free window there was to do something local. It helps having a dog who expects a walk whatever the weat...

Re: Ocean and Islands from Ceapabhal on Harris

Your wonderful photographs of the western isles never fail to make me want to go there again and do some of the walks you've done. I suspect your reports do a lot for holiday bookings to the Hebrides! :D

Re: An alpine wander among the Glencoe giants

Wow DP - that looked like a brilliant day to catch that hill and the views from it. I don't know what the foresters here have been up to. There wasn't one log stack I could photograph. :eh: I take back those comments - what a rubbish day :lol: :lol: :lol: This was the best I could do! :lol: IMG_499...

An unfortunate fall in the beautiful place

This beautiful autumn day feels such a long time ago now. We'd had a run of grey wet days but the forecast looked good and I wanted to take the other half out for a walk with the dog, after which we'd have lunch at the deli in the square. For those familiar with Beauly you'll know what I'm talking a...

Re: A dash around the Grey corries

Great photos from the days when, unlike now, every shot was carefully considered. Nostalgic to see 1990s hill fashion! 8)

It's part of the fun seeing the big ones from different angles. 8)

Hadn't crossed mine until I looked for lower options. :wink:

Re: Not as bad as Ben Lui (also winter is better)

We called the approach to Ben Lui the forest of gloop (fun in a masochistic kind of way!) but the approach to the other two was a walk in the park by comparison. May have had something to do with us going after a dry spell but much better than expected! 8)

Re: An alpine wander among the Glencoe giants

It's a cracking wee hill for this time of year. You have inspired me to climb it again, even if just to see the turf houses. You don't have to climb the hill to see the turf house but I imagine you'll want to. It was a special kind of morning for me with the frost and the views. An underrated hill....
