If you do then stay overnight at Magoo's bothy and spend the evening admiring where you have been.

Yes might need to do this when the bothys re-open

What a day! I hazard a guess that the wonderful weather contributed no little to this being your favourite Munro so far. And nothing to beat emerging from the cloud above a cloud inversion, even for the hundredth time :D Yeah weather definitely contributed! Also just liked the remoteness. My last f...

NB: All Tier Guidelines were followed for this day out $matches[2] So the time had come, I looked at my Munro Map on the wall, and seen I had one little triangle left to complete the Ullapool Region. Seana Bhraigh. This was to be my first "area" of Munro's to be complete. I hadn't heard a...

$matches[2] So I was looking around Scotland to bag some Munro's, initially I had planned to go to Seana Bhraigh, but a last minute forecast change meant that I would have to search for an alternative, The Cairnwell! I set off from Inverness at around 8am.. Well what a drive it is :lol: Definitely ...

This is going to be my first year doing winter walking so I am kind of in the same boat! Im based more North so my plan is to re-do a couple of more ‘simple’ Munros to build up confidence. Drumochters are definitely a good shout, Meall Chuaich etc. Also Sgor Gaoith, Bynack More, Cairngorm and Ben Ma...

I also asked a similar question a few months back, the answer was pretty much different for everyone :lol: Some people do it by height, by weather, by area, closest - furthest etc.. or totally random! I get really indecisive - weather chasing, easy/hard days, and also grouping areas! I am generally ...

I remember the summit cairn being fairly substantial also but about half a k past Mad Meg.

Yeah it is around half a kilometer away, I was there last week and got this photo to put it in perspective:



Creag Meagaidh from Mad Megs Cairn

Thanks for all the replies, very interesting! Have I missed any? Mad Meg's Cairn on Creag Meagaidh must be another contender especially in bad weather. My original paper OS map had it marked but it doesn't seem to be there on recent maps. I climbed Creag Meagaidh last week and couldnt see it on my O...

Climbed a few Munro’s now and I always wonder, how did they get the trig point to where they are? I understand these were for surveying purposes, but how did they actually get to the top and when? Also just out of interest how many Munro’s have undistinguished summits? The only one I have seen so fa...

Good Brocken Spectre! Next was "Mad Megs" Cairn, one of the most impressive cairns I have seen.. But not a Munro. Would be interesting to know the actual history, I have done some digging but no actual answers. The story that is repeated in several places online is that is the grave of an...

$matches[2] So I had been planning this walk for a couple of weeks, but with a miserable forecast I had to wait.. im glad I did! $matches[2] Still a little bit of fog at the top but looking good.. Made the walk up to the Crags and Lochan a'Choire, have to say the views here were stunning! could hav...

Excellent bargain price for top-notch kit! I love a bargain, me. I once got a pair of Berghous winter climbing boots for about £80 when they were originally about £250, they were the last pair in the shop and the staff were being driven mad by punters trying them on and then asking if they had them...

Thanks for all your inputs, much appreciated. I ended up getting a bargain boot, paid the fine price of £75+ £5 postage for a pair of La Sportiva Trango GTX. These are retailing for £299 in all other stores, except Sports Direct :lol: they had a ‘must go’ sale on.. the day after i purchased they dis...

Hi all, Probably been asked already I'm looking to buy my first pair of winter walking boots, been looking at the obvious scarpa manta pro gtx, but as we know these are pricey.. Is there a cheaper alternative that is still decent or am I just going to have to bite the bullet? I want a boot that can ...
