[quote]I don't understand why the Graham Book suggests combining it with Meall a'Chaorainn and the long walk (or cycle) from Black Bridge?[quote] Agreed. Sometimes the book gives alternatives but not this time, they are definitely writing for speedbaggers with these hills. We 'copied' you on Meall a...

Great views from that hill and an exciting drive! Especially where you first come off the a9. We did the quick out and back from the high point as a leg stretcher recently. We blocked part of the A9 for a short while because a large van was coming out of Glen Loth when we (with our large van) were ...

We had decided to approach Beinn nan Eun from Glen Glass, partly because we wanted to cycle alongside Loch Glass. From Evanton, we drove along the very narrow and finally bumpy road to Eileanach, where we were pleased to find no barking dogs. Then we cycled along an excellently graded track through ...

With many thanks to WH reports from Black Panther and Yorick for the inspiration for this enjoyable route, a grand day out ideal for those who don't want to bag two rather unrelated Grahams in one day. From the Alladale car park we cycled a few km up Glen Calvie, then left the bikes by the footbridg...

The smc guide says that the approach to Meall a'Chaorainn up Strathvaich is the 'favoured' one without explaining why. We had cycled in that way twice before, in the spring when the cattle were fed next to the track, resulting in a deep mix of very soft mud and cowpats to be cycled through, and we h...

The SMC guide describes the route to Meall a'Chaorainn up the glen from Loch a'Chroisg as suitable for those with knees past their manufacturer's warranty date. This sounded ideal since all of me, including my knee, was feeling tired at the end of some superb walking days. The road is lined with dee...

More lovely weather. Having had a couple of low-level explorations because of tiredness, heat, humidity and lack of breeze (yes, this is the north of Scotland in August), this day promised to have more wind. We chose this walk because of the gentle approach, paths and promised scenery. In recent yea...

We followed the WH route, deciding that it would be good to have a shorter section of path on the return. We'd been along to Scoraig the previous day, when the cloud sat firmly on the tops all the time, so we knew that it was a good path. Following WH guidance, we chose what we thought looked like a...

We drove to Achfary from near Dingwall and started to walk about 10ish. The forecast had been a little unclear for the far north of Scotland, but we knew that it wouldn't rain, and we had cleared access with the stalker, so we were sort of committed. There was low cloud on the hills but we hoped tha...

I'd practised saying the name of this hill, Carn a'Choin Deirg, before phoning up and checking access in the stalking season. However, everyone we met on the Reserve just called it 'The Trigpoint'. We cycled from the Alladale car park, up the track which was good as far as the Gleann Mhor junction, ...

We parked the van the night before at the end of the track at Badanloch, so we could have an early start. The forecast was for sun and fairly strong winds. We enjoyed the cycle in along a well-made estate track. $matches[2] $matches[2] We made good time according to the SMC guide (cos I don't think ...

We had parked overnight in Glen Loth at the foot of the short direct ascent to Beinn Dhorain. Glen Loth is a really desolate place, though ideal for people wanting a peaceful remote camping spot, but we did wonder how many people ever go there. Apparently it had only been recently tarmacked when Dem...

We drove to Inchbrae, where there is a good parking area just over the bridge, then cycled up Strathrannoch to the farm. There were nice views from time to time of the river. The track in the forest was rather stony, but it was often possible to avoid the stones by cycling on the edge of the track o...

Today was meant to be a gentle day following our previous long day, but the forecast changed and promised a good day until evening, so we had a second day with a long cycle up a glen - this time up Glen Cona to the foot of Stob Mhic Bheathain. The track up Cona Glen was delightful, initially through...

We were spending a few days at the Loch Linnhe campsite, trying out our new van and hoping to use our ancient mountain bikes to visit some remote Grahams. It is a bit unclear whether the Hare's bike or my body will give out before we have done all the ones left in this category. Even if you have cur...
