Another WR from this last summer that I've been a bit slow to get written up - despite it possibly being one of the best Hill Days that I've ever been lucky enough to enjoy :D ! It was, however, blighted by what I can only describe as Attack of the Cairn Flies :shock: - of which, more later. Mrs Bob...

I'm consoling myself over yet another cancelled foreign holiday (Malaga just after New Year 2022, this one would have been - Drat, Drat and Double Drat :evil: ) - by catching up on another WR that I hadn't gotten around to writing up from this summer. One silver lining of the last two year's events,...

I'm finally getting round to some WRs that I'd never managed to post from the tail end of last year, just before Second Lockdown. I was in two minds about posting this one to be honest, since it was mildly transgressive, but here goes. The transgression wasn't COVID-related either, as you might init...

I've gotten well behind with my Walk Reports this year - I've been too busy walking, which has been nice :D ! Anyway, this one is from back at the beginning of August. For once, inspiration has utterly failed me for a painfully punning title, so I'm just going for "The Barns of Bynack More"...

Yes, Harris's smallest and (probably) easiest Graham is indeed pronounced something like "Orville" ... which I suppose does make me Keith Harris, then :lol: . After a great but knackering walk a couple of days earlier on the An Cliseam horseshoe, I was keen to get a second walk in before h...

Grim though it's undoubtedly been, the ongoing issues with the Virus-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did at least have a Silver Lining for me in hillwalking terms, in that I got to enjoy three very different domestic holidays this summer in previously unfamiliar bits of Scotland, and I was lucky enough to get...

This was Day 2 of a short hillwalking side-trip as part of a family self-catering holiday in Iona; I'd negotiated permission to absent myself for a couple of days' hillwalking. I got the very early "school ferry" at 06:10 a.m. on the Monday morning, along with a group of rather dazed-looki...

You were all out and busy enjoying some of that warm sunshine we had in July, with over 270 new public walk reports posted on Walkhighlands. The winner - and a well deserved £100 Cotswold Outdoor voucher - goes to 2manyYorkies who had a sleepless multi-day camping trip - A Cairngorm blast . The £50...

Like many people, we had taken the Domestic Holiday option this summer for obvious reasons (I loathe that "staycation" word :roll: !), and we ended up with a Grand Hebridean Adventure, joining separate groups of friends for a week in Iona at the beginning of June, followed by a week in Har...

Really enjoyable read Kenny - well done on ticking off another bucket list route. :clap: That slog up CMD from that direction looks a bit of a nightmare :shock: We did CMD a couple of weeks back via the North Face car park and once past a boggy section beyond the forest, it was a really good contou...

Apologies for all the exclamation marks there, but this was real bucket-list stuff for me, and I did find it extremely exhilarating, particularly after the year that we've all just had :? :D ! I've probably hitherto been a bit of an anomaly (not a new experience for me :lol: ), in that I'd climbed o...

This is a walk that I'd pondered as a theoretical possibility several times over the past few years while idly perusing OS Landranger Sheet 50 (yes, okay, I'm a complete maps anorak; there is probably better reading material for the toilet :lol: ) but which I doubt that I'd ever actually have attemp...

Interesting WR with some lovely photos :clap: ! I've just done a similar trip myself (thankfully just before the good weather broke, the weekend before last), but including the S2K Marilyn Beinn Mheadhonach as well as the Munro and Corbett, so as to be able to justify two whole days away from weedin...

I'm cheering myself up, in what has been a nervous week for the world :? , by tidying up a couple of Walk Reports that I'd never gotten round to posting at the end of last year ... and it has worked, I'd have to say. My photos have reminded me what a lovely walk this was, and after all, the hills wi...

Plan A had been an ambitious holiday in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island ... needless to say that was quickly kiboshed given the events of 2020 :roll: , and we rather hurriedly made alternative holiday arrangements for a few days at the seaside in Scarborough, followed by a week at a cottage in ...
