Dead against the Beauly - Denny pylon line - should be underground in the most sensitive areas Nothing's happening in Beauly now but I'm dreading the very moment when the big nasty pylons spoil the landscape :( :( :( I spent a lot of time wandering about the hills and woods around the village and t...

After Saturday's jaunting up Cairngorms Corbett I could hardly wait to add another great day to my list of adventures. Despite Kevin's concerns about the car (clutch, gear box, what else?...) I convinced him to drive about 100 miles away from Inverness to Cairnwell Pass. I knew from other walkers th...

At last, at last, after weeks of waiting for the right weather here it came! Wind gusts dropped, clouds disappeared uncovering blue sky... Well, temperature dropped as well, but for the sake of getting cloud-free summits I was ready to put up with some cold :lol: As both Saturday and Sunday looked g...

Pies and rolls are not for me, but I'm bananas for bananas

Fresh, sundried, banana crisps... Better and healthier than any chocolate treats. In summertime I take plenty of fruit, good to kill both thirst and hunger.

Hi Chris, fantastic stuff as always. Wish I could visit this part of the world one day... We had a taste of proper winter this weekend. Not -26, but cold enough. We walked up the Cairnwell and neighbours (I'm sure you've done them, I think I remember your TR :D ) and it was a superb day. Much less s...

Nice one

We were up there last March, snow was knee-deep in places... Winter this year is very mild!

Great to see you posting again, Chris

That's an amazing landscape you've got around you now! And you have proper winter over there... Unlike in Scotland. I'm looking at my digi-temp now - +7*C and rising.

I also use FujiFilm Finepix HS10 with 30x zoom, last year's purchase and it was money well spent, maybe a bit bulky but it takes great pictures. I'm not a professional and for my personal use the quality of photos is superb. My previous one was Olympus C-725, only 3 megapix but good lens and easy to...

My first hill in the year 2012 was rather disappointing, I must say. Weather wasn't great and with mountain area forecast for winds 60-90 mph we gave up on any ideas about serious mountain climbing. Therefore, we opted for a safe choice of an easy drive-up sub-2000, Ben Aigan. our_route.gpx The shor...

Lovely set of pictures and an interesting route

It was really blowy on Saturday, (predicted gusts 60to 90mph), I somehow managed the summit of a mere sub-2000 hill and it was a hard work against the wind...

Well done :D Just a shame about the crampons. Hopefully someone finds and returns them... Geal Charn is said to be one of the easiest Munros, but in winter conditions any hill can be tricky. I did it last autumn and remember the route up as a terrible bog-feast, squelchy and sticky, yuck. Good for d...

Congratulations on winning, well deserved. All the madness paid off

That's not fair. I opened my curtains today to see heavy cloud and persistent rain

And Beauly is only a wee bit further north! I guess we got all the winter, you got all the spring...
This hill looks interesting. A great little cracker with lovely views.

On the 2nd of January weather looked even worse than on Sunday. Not a day for serious undertakings, but I insisted on walking in Affric area. We left Beauly at about midday, but after 10 min of driving west we were caught in heavy snow storm. It took us twice the usual time to get to Cannich, drivin...

Have you not considered climbing Sub 2000s? There are some little crackers up Inverness way :D Indeed, I have. During last 4 years we've been up a few Marylins, just never bothered to tick them on the map. We considered climbing Ord Ban as it is a good viewpoint over the loch, we just run out of ti...
