I was staying up in Pitlochry for a couple of nights and, having dropped of my wife for an afternoon of shopping and coffee shops, I drove over to the B951 between Glen Shee and Glen Isla for a quick jaunt up this hill - and very pleasant it was, too, despite the heat and blazing sun. i parked in a ...

The weather forecast was set fine so I decided to head South to have a walk on the hills on the south side of Moffat Dale. I parked in a good space just over the bridge at Sailfoot, just off the A708. I'd left Glasgow early, just after 7am, so there was still a chill in the air. I walked along the r...

After a good breakfast in the Tontine Hotel in Peebles, I drove through Inverleithen up the B709 to park in a reasonable space off the road south of Blackhopebyre. I walked a short distance up the road and passed through a metal gate on to a good track which headed up Glentress Rig. I met a local ga...

I was down in Peebles for a couple of days with my wife. Having checked into the hotel, I had an hour or so to spare so I drove round to the high car park for a walk up White Meldon, then back down to the car for some refreshment before heading up Black Meldon. It was a fine sunny day but there was ...

I hadn't been out on any hills since mid-September - various surgeries ..... an age thing - so I was looking forward to getting back out today. I decided to drive up to Newton Bridge and walk along the glen beside the River Almond and after 4kms walk up the rough estate road beside the Henzie Burn. ...

I was down in Keswick for a few day's break with my wife and she was quite happy for me to head off up the hills while she 'did' the shops. However, the weather was so poor that I only managed one day out - and even that was cold, wet and cloudy for the most part. I drove round to Seatwaithe to have...

I drove round from Corran to Fort William and took the narrow road up the hill south, up past the viewpoint, a long way down the scenic glen to park in a good space before Lochan Lunn Da Bhra. P1040074(1).JPG From here I walked along the road, over a bridge and then down a rougher track to a ford wh...

After a pleasant morning on Doire Ban and a snack back at Corran, I decided to have quick drive round to Kentallen for a walk up Ardsheal Hill to see some views over to Ardgour. However, as luck would have it, as I was driving round, a misty drizzle descended to virtually road level so I did not get...

Last year on the way up to a Corran bunkhouse weekend with friends, I climbed this hill in poor conditions with not much in the way of views. This year, on the way up to Corran, I could see the top as I drove through Glencoe, so I decided another visit to this hill was called for. I parked at the vi...

I was staying at Mar Lodge with friends and we woke on Sunday to a dull, wet morning. Still, we wanted a walk out so we headed up the hill right behind the lodge, Creag Bhalg, which, though short and very easy, gave us a very pleasant morning. A good track left the narrow road virtually behind the b...

Having driven the short distance from the start of the walk up Pressendye, I set off up the track opposite the large parking area. Indeed, all I had to do was follow this track all the way to the summit. This might sound rather dull but there were views over to Morven and Pressendye on the way up to...

I was staying at Mar Lodge but decided to drive east to an area I hadn't been to for some time to have a walk up Pressendye and Craiglich. I parked on the B9119, east of Tarland in a layby at the start to the drive up to Pett Farm. A cold wind was blowing from the north with a smirr of rain in it as...

I was heading up to Mar Lodge for a long weekend with friends and I felt like breaking the journey with a stroll up this Graham. It was a bit of a detour but well worth it, despite the poor weather. As per many reports, I parked at the old stone gateway at Balintore and walked east along the road fo...

I was wanting to visit an area I hadn't been for some time so I booked into the Well Inn in Scotlandwell for an overnight stay and headed through from Glasgow on Sunday morning to have a walk on Benarty Hill and then go round to leave the car at the inn and walk up Bishop Hill. I kept things simple ...

After breakfast, I drove round from Scotlandwell to the start of the rough road to Loch Glow on the minor road south from Cleish. I parked in the lay-by at the start of the road because I assumed, correctly, that the car park at Loch Glow itself would be for anglers only. Anyway, the stroll to the l...
