First Cuillin bagged (officially) - Blaven

Track_2016-04-20 135016.gpx I've been in the Cuillins before. I was at uni in my early 20s and was unaware of what a Munro was, nevermind the obsession I now have with bagging them! I remember a group of us came up to Skye and we hiked up to the In Pin, watched people climb it then turned left and ...

Re: SPRING WH GAIRLOCH SANDS HOSTEL MEET 8/9TH APRIL 2016

Big Tommo and I's revised, revised cunning plan is as follows (subject to further revision!) Get up the road on Friday once work frees me and maybe hit Fionn Bheinn on the way. Looks like we're racing the rain to the campsite so might cancel the walk to get the tent up in the dry. Maybe pencil in Fi...

Re: SPRING WH GAIRLOCH SANDS HOSTEL MEET 8/9TH APRIL 2016

Big Tommo and I are going to be able to make it, staying Fri and Sat night. Not sure on our arrival time on Fri as it depends on me getting out of work. Any room at the hostel or anyone needing a couple of bodies to split the cost of a wigwam? We are both fully house trained and tidy up after oursel...

Re: SPRING WH GAIRLOCH SANDS HOSTEL MEET 8/9TH APRIL 2016

Big Tommo and I have got the time off for this but we need to wait and see how my broken collarbone heals. It is giving me a target to spur me on at physio. No point in us reserving a bunk just now so if it sells out we'll head to the campsite.

Re: Fannichs 5...from sunrise to rainbow

Petr you've overtaken my total!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I've been forced into early winter hibernation thanks to a mountain bike whoopsie last week which means I am now on my way to becoming the bionic man thanks to the plate and screws in my shoulder! Great pics again and another multiple munro day to add...

Re: Magnificent MCD - day 3 of the WH Meet

Great pics and informative report. I had opted against MCD when I stayed in Torridon because I couldn't be bothered with the drive round to the traditional route. Didn't even know this was an option. Thanks for educating me :D

Re: Daybreak in the Mamores

I remember being quite chuffed getting up that huge slab of rock quite easily. Only to discover that the path didn’t got that way at all. :roll: Apparently some sort of path has now been established. 8) We're not the only ones that have went that way, there is a path of sorts now, more a collection...

Re: Daybreak in the Mamores

Thanks Petr. Definitely made up for my previous grey day but can't always have good weather. Was so glad I made the effort to get out early but that seems to be your speciality! Lol.

Daybreak in the Mamores

Track_2015-10-17 122045.gpx 4.30am is a god awful time to get up in the morning.

Re: The Grey Corries, Stob Ban - & Superman!?

Good to see the views I missed when I did it in September this year in mist and wind. Guess I'll just need to head back to them in good weather now!

Re: Grey Corries live up to their name

That was a gripping read wondering how it would end. 8) I've not done the Grey Corries on account of other half not wanting me to wreck the car on the approach road. :? Thanks dogplodder. Was def one of the most challenging days I've had for a while. The track is ok really, just a slow drive up it ...

Grey Corries live up to their name

Track_Grey Corries.gpx Attempt number 2 this year of booking a cottage close to the mountains for a week and get some bagging done. Torridon didn't work out too well in May but the forecasts were looking favourable for the start of this week at least. The wife confirmed she was going spend Tuesday ...

Re: Round of 5 in Glen Etive

I'm not saying "well done!" because I now feel instinctive antipathy towards anyone who includes Aighenan in their round - I managed to overlook it on my round earlier in the year :thumbdown: It's a tough decision with that one Alteknacker. I'd pondered leaving it too but then the thought...
