A trip over the water to Arran to climb Goatfell. Caught the 9.45 ferry from Ardrossan and had an excellent bacon and black pudding roll on the boat. We had a major panic on board when we discovered that the pieces had been left in the fridge at home! A return visit to the cafeteria to buy lunch sup...

I decided to climb these hill after staying at Drumnadrochit. After my exertions on the Mullardoch hills yesterday, I thought that I may just struggle up the first Graham, however, I was glad to get round them both. After a very short drive from the bunkhouse, I parked at the larger than expected ca...

As I still had An Socach to climb, I made the long journey to Loch Mullardoch. I've never walked the path along the lochside, but heard nothing good about it, so decided to invest in a trip on the ferry to the head of the loch. 2016-06-01 07.25.26 (640x428).jpg The journey along the loch only took a...

I decided to climb these two Marilyns to break my journey on a trip north. The recent fine weather continued and I enjoyed clear blue skies and warm sunshine on the drive north. Parked at the double passing place on the road to Ardochy and set off at the patriotic time of 13.14! The hill sits right ...

A later start than usual to avoid the M74 roadworks. Parked at the forrest track about halfway along the Daer Reservoir - a bit muddy, but it did the job. The first part of the walk was along the road towards Kirkhope at the head of the loch. 2016-05-23 11.04.29 (640x428).jpg We continued on the rou...

I took advantage of the current spell of good weather and headed up the A9 to Drumochter. Left the main road at the Dalnaspidal sign and parked just shy of the level crossing. A beautiful, clear, spring morning. Through the level crossing and headed towards the bridge over the Garry. Quite a number ...

Stayed overnight at the interesting Wooler YHA. The building was originally a Land Army camp and there are lots of information boards inside about the people who lived there at that time, along with some great murals of the area. Awake to a misty morning as the North Sea haar extended inland. 2016-0...

Another trip down to Galloway, this time to collect my final Donald in the area - Larg Hill. It also made sense to climb Lamachan Hill as it was on the route anyway. Parked at Bruce's Stone and walked along the track past Buchan to Glenhead. A perfect day for walking - pleasantly mild, high cloud an...

Off to Galloway again - this time bound for Glen Trool - an area I hadn't visited since 2007! Stroan Bridge, just past Glentrool village has been narrowed, so I wouldn't fancy driving a wide vehicle across. No goats at the car park as I set out downhill to Buchan. Another less than helpful notice fr...

My main motivation for this walk was to tick off the south top on Tarfessock - I had climbed the main summit, along with Shalloch on Minnoch in 1981, but had neglected to add the top! However, as it was a sunny and cool day, this walk was no hardship. Parked at the Forrestry Commission car park at K...

After a gloriously sunny day at Loch Arkaig yesterday, we awoke (as forecast) to a dreich, wet, sleeting morning. We were based at the Great Glen hostel and it was a fairly easy decision to opt for this very easy Marilyn followed by a walk to Steall. We parked at the park and picnic area just above ...

After a comfortable night at the Great Glen hostel we drove along the rollercoaster that is the Loch Arkaig road, parking up just before Strathan. A sunny morning, with little wind - a good day beckoned. 2016-04-14 09.51.39 (640x428).jpg We walked along the track towards Glen Dessary, past the Jacob...

We were off to the Great Glen Hostel for a couple of nights, so decided to have a short day on this hill to break the journey. I had heard about the parallel roads of Glen Roy many years ago, but had not been able to visit the glen. After a leisurely drive north, we parked at the viewpoint car park ...

I drove to Garva Bridge with high hopes as I had enjoyed a pleasant day on Gairbeinn, just along the road, last year. Parked up on a drizzly morning and set off. My plan was to cross the Feith Talagain by the bridge marked on the map at NN 525958. When I got there, I could see the supports of the br...

We had enjoyed an great night at Kirk Yetholm hostel and were on our way about 9am. 2016-03-23 08.34.15 (640x428).jpg Drove down the minor road to Cocklawfoot Farm where we parked up. There is an unhelpful notice on the approach to Kelsocleugh Farm about a diversion to avoid the electric fence. We f...
