The Sound of Iona is a gorgeous, shallow expanse of crystal clear, emerald...

Re: Facing some fears in Torridon

I got hooked on this report whilst I should have been doing something work-related - fascinating account of overcoming fears and forcing yourself through mental challenges. :clap: Admirable! Not something I've been able to do myself - my bottle of fears remains topped up to the brim and WAY below yo...

Re: Aoineadh Mor hair raising clifftop walk

What a terrific walk, litljortindan! Those views to Jura and so clear too. 👍Will need to look at that walk next time we're headed to Mull.Only walked along the coast there, not the tops.

Re: The Drumochter Munros + some extra special wildlife

Hi Jimmy - great to hear you enjoyed the report even if you felt a wee bit jealous :lol: I love those hills for the easy, relaxed walk they give over what feels like wild country away from everything (even though the A9 eventually comes into view again! :)

Re: The Drumochter Munros + some extra special wildlife

Hi Mal and thank you! Small world, isn't it? :lol: Sometimes I wonder if other folks on the hill are walkhighlanders, I'm sure some must be on occasion - I might recognise one or two from various photos posted.
The NW must have looked stunning , though it does in most weathers!

Re: The Drumochter Munros + some extra special wildlife

Fabulous photos - you do get great views from those hills because there is a large flattish area just South of West around Rannoch moor and the Blackwater reservoir. I remember seeing something and saying to myself " I know that but it looks back to front" :? Aonach Eagach of course - it ...

Re: The Drumochter Munros + some extra special wildlife

Wow! If the actual day was even a quarter as good as the pics, it was something special indeed. And as if that wasn't enough, you get to see a sea eagle and a GOSHAWK! Incredible (but I'm green with envy :sick:) Hear hear! Your white-tailed eagle in the Cairngorms surprise reminded me of a spectacu...

The Drumochter Munros + some extra special wildlife

For years, Chris and I used to whizz past these hills, thinking they looked too close to the A9 to offer a feeling of being away from it all and not being that attractive. How wrong we were! The views over Loch Ericht to Ben Alder are outstanding. The nice high start of around 400m is quite attracti...
