Nice outing. Twice I’ve looked at a route through those crags to Sgurr a Choire bheithe and twice I’ve opted for the long way round instead, good to see they’re not as bad as they look. Thanks. The crags were fine. Grass all the way, just had to weave and zig-zag between the tiers. Someone or somet...

I've been eyeing that route! Great report - thanks. No problem! I made it up when trying to link the red balloons on my map. I was pretty spent when I got back to the car, I suspect it would have been a much different prospect in the more typical Knoydart conditions. Mind you, the vegetation did sl...

Thanks! I couldn't not go there when the weather was soo good. Much better when its not damp and dark!

Cheers! I only usually get one summit camp a year and thankfully this will be a memorable one! Felt very lucky.

$matches[2] What a stunning weekend to go to Knoydart. No rain forecast, low rivers, light winds and warm as you like. Rough Bounds?? Soft Edges more like. Parked the car at Coireshubh and followed the damp stalker's path to 600m and the ridgeline onto Sgurr Nan Eugallt which had a nice wee scrambl...

After a bit of research of other walk reports and a look at the satellite imagery, I decided a traverse of this peak was doable rather than the long out-and-back of the WH description. $matches[2] I parked my bike at Duror and car in the Co-op car park at Ballachulish. Followed the WH description to...

With the 2nd weekend of the Phase3 lockdown restrictions easing and a fine forecast, the hills were going to be busy. AJ hadn't climbed Beinn a'Ghlo before but rather than following the traditional guidebook route from Loch Moraig, we started from the private road-end at Straloch off the A924. There...

It sort of reminds me when I was in the Wind River mountains in Wyoming on 9th September 2001. We hadn't noticed the blue skies without airline contrails that day and it wasn't until the following day when we hiked out to the trailhead and drove to the nearest town that we discovered what had occur...

Wow what an adventure MrN! I really enjoyed reading that even if it wasn't the turnout you had planned for (to say the least). As a trip report, it is top quality full of helpful advice and information. And interesting tree photos :wink: Knowing your setup, I can imagine what a ballache it must have...

Cold northerly wind, but pleasant walk. Some stunning views.

We stayed at Luib Chonnal on the following weekend (23/2) and saw your bothy book description of coal miners which made us laugh. My companion had just lugged a 10kg bag of coal in! Fortunately he also knew the laws of thermodynamics and metal engineering....after we lit the fire, and were succumbin...
