I have wee bell on my velo and can warn others when I'm approaching. I look at this in the same way as in skiing downhill in that the onus is on the person approaching from behind to avoid getting unreasonably close and scaring others....slowing down might help with this. :) I use my bike mainly on ...

I guess I got the wrong week-end....I thought that you were sending the reports as you were heading North :lol: I suppose that this would be possible with the wee computers built into cameras nowadays? That long week-end we were up in the Fisherfield area where it was clear, sunny but with at times ...

These are fine images and do show up the area to good effect.....many folks favourite summits live in this area

Seems like much better weather that you are having today down there? Today, up here, it has been mostly a wet day. Is this you all just beginning your journey Northwards today?

I didn't know about the ski Poma tow(s)? in the Lakes....looks like a good slope for skiing. I have only visited Helvellyn from Thirlmere and went down one of the East facing ridges and ascended the other. It was some time ago like, 45 years, long before the ski tow went up. :lol: There is a lot I d...

Looking back to our last overnight 'stay outs'.....nothing too much in powder form excepting three packets of soup, one of which, the mushroom one, became a sauce for a pasta meal :) ....bread, cheese, four tins of fish, pasta, porridge, tea/coffee, honey, energy bars and some fruit :D... seems reas...

Could see the smoke billowing over the Torridon hills from where we were on the tops above Fionn Loch. We were thinking that the old pines down below Alligin might be in some trouble.....but, I guess, just out of range.

Our visit to the Fionn Loch area was from Poolewe and back. We walked in along the Kernsary estate road to the wee lochan prior to the farm where we cut the corner on a track to gain the Ruidh Dorcha trail and to transfer to the stalkers trail to reach Beinn Airigh Charr. Our camp kit was left at th...

I've only ever accessed Albannaich and Meall an Eun from Forest Lodge....it's much more effort to get out to Aighenan via this long approach. :) A long time back poor old Ton Peters, a Dutchman with a passion for the Scottish hills, took a tumble on this side of Aighenen and lay for several days in ...

If you enjoy walking with rucksack, tent and wearing shorts most of the time.....Corsica could be your destination :lol: Been a few times to the island and walked five of the Grande Randonnee. Most fit into either a weeks or a two weeks holiday....three weeks if you take in a few of the summits alon...

Beinn Bhreac....maybe a number of us will a story to tell about this one....I was twice on the top of Beinn Dearg during the day out for this retiring hill. And that after having been out for Beinn Dearg many years prior :lol: I was only trying to keep my boots clean. :) Feels quite remote out there!

Rolling stone organised this trip to Knoydart which coincided with a fine weekend. The Corbetts were done over three days coming down to the sea on both evenings. our_route.gpx 1Choinnichean080.JPG 2 Choinnichean 051.JPG 3 Choinnichean HPIM5027.jpg 4 too much for Rolling Stone HPIM5029.jpg 5 069.JPG...

The 'tortoise man' is off again on his travels....I have come across your journeys and images....I think last time you began in the deep south west and ended in the North and the coastline journey, what was it, only 500 miles or so. :lol: Look forward to seeing your nature and landscape images from ...

The flying Netherlands man strikes again. A fine journey for your nine days out in the hills.

When you do come to Scotland....is once per annum... you really get some good work done. Interesting to read your reports

Must the Lairig Eilde approach? haven't been in this way.....have either gone in from Lairig Gartain or from the end of the BEM traverse. You certainly got the most out of a poor looking day.
