Many thanks for all comments!

I have started the long, laborious job of posting my backlog of reports. It will take weeks, if not months, but I'm doing my best. Hopefully, my writing mojo is back for good.

The day after our refreshing walk to the Monadhliadh plateau, weather was still brilliant, so we simply couldn't stay away from the hills. Besides, I needed to charge my batteries again. After the first good news from the eastern front, I was in good mood, but things could change any day and I knew ...

At last I feel I can write something up... I don't know how I will cope with the mountain of backlog reports. For months on end, I was mentally paralyzed, unable to compose a sensible paragraph, every time I tried, I struggled with my English. It may be the side effect of the Eastern European news; ...

He was such a great character. Me and Kevin had the privilege to meet Allan several times on different WH meets. Walkhighlands won't be the same without him.

I'm struggling to find words here, sorry.
Sincere condolences to his family.

Happy to take your word for the hill BP :clap: We are staying just over a mile down the road from the starting point and are planning to tackle this hill on Thursday Looking forward to it too :D We have actually repeated Geal Charn recently (I'm badly behind with my TRs) and nothing has changed sin...

We wanted to end our spring walking holidays on a high note, but it was still blowing a hoolie all over Scotland so a multi Munro bagging trip was out of question. Thankfully, we are resistant enough to cold and gusts of wind (as long as we can stand up and walk forward - just about :lol: ) so visit...

Wow, epic :D :D :D I was thinking about approaching Beinn na Lus from Kinglass side rather than from the south (easier for us logistically). You just made me think even harder :problem: :problem: :problem: BTW we were on Lui on Saturday. Kevin has jut recovered from a minor back injury and he really...

For hill baggers, the area of Blair Athol is mostly known for Beinn Dearg, Carn a'Chlamain and Beinn a'Ghlo, but for me, the most attractive hill in this corner of scotland is the Mountain in the Middle, Beinn Mheadhonach. Overlooked and ignored by the majority of hillwalkers, this modest Corbett pr...

If we are talking about tops "worthy of being a Munro", here's another one: Sgùrr an Iubhair (1001m, reascent 76.8m), subsidiary Top of Sgùrr a' Mhàim in the Mamores. I think it was a Munro once but was demoted to a M. top... Last month we repeated Sgorr Gaoith in the Cairngorms to add Mun...

Hi, am planning on accessing Creag Ghuanach from the North using the same route as you. Could you tell me how far along the track i'd be able to use a mountain bike? Thanks Hi, depends how good you are at mountain biking (I'm speaking from the perspective of a rubbish cyclist :wink: ). You can defi...

Càrn a' Choin Deirg is a little known Graham east of Ullapool and it is usually approached from the east, from Glencalvie. We had done exactly that when bagging this hill for the first time in 2016 . I always wanted to return to Càrn a' Choin Deirg in winter conditions, but winter in 2022 was "...

It deserves to be a Munro in its own right, there's other ones that are more questionable. Glad I've done it, should it ever get promoted again. :lol: Absolutely agree, it should be a Munro :D Especially as it is my local hill :wink: I have recently done the outlying tops of Ben Wyvis and had simil...

Three days after our sightseeing visit to Caithness Brochs, the sulky Scottish weather improved significantly: the mad wind died out and the low cloud lifted off the mountain tops. It was a signal for us, time to go winter walking! It's been two weeks since our last mountain trip (Beinn Teallach) an...

Good to have you back! Yes, it can be hard to find the thoughts to write stuff when distracted by big stressful things. It can be an escape, too, once you get those first sentences down. Love the broch, I find them fascinating. The sea stacks and the castle look almost exactly the same! Thanks, Mal...

Hi Jackie, sadly we won't be able to make this meet, Kevin couldn't get any time off in July so I didn't even bother you... I hope you all have lots and lots of fun and fingers crossed we'll be able to attend the autumn meet! BTW I still have the Walkhighland Meets albums (took them for safekeeping ...
