Cracking day we got today wasn't it? We met as you came down Ime and we were heading up just after dinnertime.The cloud had rolled in by the time we got to the top but was surprised to make it up in just a tshirt and fleece. You got some great photos too :clap: Thanks, quick-fire point and click fr...

I think just a short report on today. I manged to get out of bed on time which seen me start the walk 30 mins before sunrise (finally). i made use of this time to relax on the summit and take extra photos. My route was again the longer walk in past the Cobbler and this time across to the Beinn Ime g...

Hey mountain boy, just looking through your fine photos again, like the one with you and the dog on the summit, but note that your ice axe is sticking up out of your bag. Is there any way of turning it so the axe part is at the bottom of your rucksack, less wobble and safer! Just a thought :) I fee...

If you had postponed it for a day BigT, there was an extra layer of white stuff on Thursday morning. There were a few folks in full crampons on Beinn Ime, I was fine with just my Salewa instep crampons. With a few more hard frosts Spearhead gully on Narnain will be good to go up with crampons. :D B...

Further research since the walk has revealed microspikes, and these have arrived today! Retracing my route I got back to the car a little after 4.20. It was a satisfying day, which started with enough time to enjoy the scenery, but was a fail in my hope to pull on the crampons. Nah, you don't want ...

Eager to pop my winter walking cherry, I aimed to capitalize on a great looking forecast with blue skies, low wind, and fresh snow underfoot. I'm a cautious type, so I decided not to tackle Narnain head on or be greedy and pair with Ime, I was going to take the long way around and ascend Narnain fro...

That is an inspiring set of photographs. I've been looking forward to one day doing Nanairn & A'Chrois.

Was that Vorlich (Loch Earn) last weekend? I chucked it early as i had some blister problems from Fridays walking, but I had just planned to make the most of it in my B2's. I had no crampons at all. Any photos?

Had this in my mind for a few weeks so set off for two days in the Trossachs with Venue the first port of call for Friday. Walking solo. Weather was intermittent drizzle, low wind, and a blue sky trying to peak through. Checking my sunrise and sunset times, I had planned to be at Loch Achray for sun...

I have nowhere near enough experience to comment, and either way no-one knows the details, but I'd guess getting short is a real risk now that day light is vanishing. When I read a story on the beeb or in the grough I try and reflect on my approach "think about your kit, think about your kit, t...

LOL - I took your cairn shot that's on your blog! That's me and my pal Dave walking off the summit. Great day for it.

Hey BigT. This is spooky - we did the very same walk that day but left the car park at 9.30 and were back just after 4. We must have passed you on the way back down? There were 3 of us + 2 dogs. What path did you take after crossing the bridge on the way back just off the hill? We (3 guys) were wal...

That was a bit of a slog! I had an idea this would hard, but I didn't quite expect what it took out of me physically. I've done 8 hours hiking before, just not with a Munro stuck into the middle of it. 2013-10-20 Carn A'Mhaim track.gpx The track above was started a little late and packed in recordin...

Now to be pedantic, the A82 would indeed look very small from up there. As no doubt you're probably aware, the road beneath you there is of course, the A83.

Sorrree.

fixed it. not pedantry, accuracy

Cheers guys, was brilliant day, I'm in awe of the members whom did the ascent in the dark to catch the sunrise, and the ascent in the heavy snow - that one just about makes my head explode. My mum was heading up to Kennacraig today on the bus - and has just given me a ticking off by text message whe...
