Long and winding road to rocky Ruadh-stac Beag

Todays weather was supposed to be a little cooler than earlier in the week. Nope, we got a warm one as we walked up the Pony Track from the Beinn Eighe Visitor Centre around 9am and after a 19k trek yesterday, my legs were feeling a little devoid of energy. $matches[2] The Corbett doesn't show face ...

Lochs Claire and Coulin, a fab walk

Glen Roy's Parallel Roads

Van camping for a couple of days, we had done 2 of the Pitridh Munros yesterday so opted for a long lie and a short day. We read about the parallel roads of Glen Roy and headed on up to the viewpoint at about 200mtrs. Beinn a'Mhonicag rises steeply above the wee carpark and we decided to incorporate...

Creag Pitridh doubler

Van camping for a couple of days, we spent last night in the Creag Meagaidh reserve car park where we bumped in to the Harpers, bit of company over a drink or two. Discussing our Munro plans for the next day, Keith and Sue had suggested a wee off shoot of the second car park as an overnight option f...

Avoiding the fog on the Pentlands

After an evening of peer led night navigation, we stayed in the camper at a very icy Threipmuir Reservoir car park. People were arriving from before light for their own Pentlands adventures, bikes, runners and walkers. Our initial plan was to drive round to Flotterstone to start but it was a long ro...

Buachaille Etive Beag and Glen Etive in all its glory

The Wee Bookil, a hill of 2 halves After our cosy night in the Clachaig we headed down the road to the carpark for Buachaille Etive Beag and booted up. We didn’t have the usual bag of goodies for food but had a bag of pasta each which we rustled up last night. The hotel breakfast should keep us goin...

Re: Ben More, Jonny M's Compleation, FINALLY

Excellent report Gill, and sums up the wonderful spirit of the weekend nicely. A final tally on the weekend's whisky consumption would have been interesting, but one does have to support the local economy in these difficult times. I bought a bottle on the way back from the hill.....it didn't see th...

Ben More, Jonny M's Compleation, FINALLY

Finally, Jonny M could finish the big 282. Covid had put a stop to the original plan for Jonny Mitchell to complete his Munros in 2020 and this weekend had been on the calendar for some time now. Thankfully, with restrictions all but gone, the crew got the chance to join the Mitchell clan on Ben Mor...
