Phone rings midday. It's Dr Frank enquiring whether I'm free on the morrow to walk another stretch of the Wales Coastal Walk. Wonderful idea, and - miraculously - I am! We meet up at 8.30 at the Gwetsy Holland Hotel in Llanfachraeth (a 3.5 hour driv3 for me), where we will finish the 18 mile walk, a...

It maybe highlights a couple of things - if there are any posts, trip reports etc on WH that you have a sentimental attachment to it might be worth taking a back up copy. I've been doing this in an extremely laborious manner ever since flickr suddenly started charging. Does anyone know a reasonably...

Hey, you pinched my stylish pic of Sgurr Coire Choinnichean summit cairn....

Definitely doable. I did the route outlined by Rockhopper... https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=66503 ...but I can confirm that the slog up the slope to Carn a'Mhaim is quite brutal. There was no path that I could see. It may be better taking the longer but less ferocious ...

The forecast for this, the last day in Knoydart, was for clear tops, so I planned to visit Meall Bhuide and Luinne Bheinn, and set the alarm for a moderately early start, since I had to catch the ferry back to Mallaig at 18.30. Sadly, when I peered out of the tent, the tops were yest again shrouded ...

This brought back some good memories! Not unalloyed pleasure in the case of a' Chioch - as I did it in soggy conditions, which resulted in my pulling out of the final climb up to Beinn Bhan. But a' Cioch was brilliant, even if not up the classic rock climbing route. You certainly drew the long straw...

Nice report and pics. I walked this area in early (frosty!) 2017: I never fail to be surprised how different a hill in summer can be from the same hill in winter!

Did this walk over 2 days with a camp overnight. I followed Alteknacher‘s GPX route with the exception of going for the various tops if they weren’t on the direct route. Mileage and altitude gain are pretty accurate as I recorded very similar. Thanks for the route details Alteknacher, couldn’t have...

Stunning indeed! The precipitous cliffs remind me of the gorge above Nerja in Southern Spain, which I walked down a couple of times a decade or so ago.

A whole lot of great pics there, Yorick. You clearly made a couple of good decisions on both the Saturday and the Sunday. Though how you must have imperilled your soul with oaths to the dark one so as to get those short breaks in the cloud at just the right time, I hardly dare speculate! But hey! Wh...

At last the WH meet on Knoydart, postponed for two years because of covid, is happening. Sadly, Jaxter - who arranged it - is unable to attend due to having serious long covid. Now I'm on the wee ferry on the short trip to Inverie, with a few other Walk Highlanders. https://i.ibb.co/bXGwR40/20220708...

This subject comes up every few months on WH. Here are some threads from the last few years which might prove useful to you. https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=111101#p463855 https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=108466 https://www.walkhighlands.c...

A fine walk, and report! I enjoyed the memories it brought back of a similar walk I did in the area a few years ago - it's a great bunch of hills. Less enjoyable was the recollection of completely missing Beinn nan Aighenan - I just didn't notice it! I envy you the sundew - I haven't seen any for de...

I somehow managed to miss this WHR first time around - for which I, of course, blame covid... But very glad that I eventually caught up with it. The usual superb collection of pics, of course. i particularly liked "Green rocky island on Ulscarf" (a hill I've yet to visit, and your descript...

Excellent report from a fine route through some of the best country England has to offer. Thanks John. ... As for Eagle Crag there is an eminently practicable route down from the summit which I have ascended twice, I admit it may be a bit more tricky to find the way down but for what it's worth my ...
