Wow - you certainly had cracking weather for these two

!
I've been up Ben Hiant - a terrific wee hill - and will certainly make a point of getting up Beinn na Seilg the next time I'm in Ardnamurchan (which will hopefully be spring 2013 with a bit of luck).
Great wee report

!

Nice report with some great photos :clap: . These Sub-2000 Marilyns can be very more-ish: I was just up Conic Hill this morning (never done it before, strangely enough) and it was a grand wee walk, although a bit like Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday morning at the top. Probably the rare good weathe...

Originally I had grand plans for Saturday 27th October :( . Due to a combination of on-call, family parties and the like, I hadn’t managed out walking all month. My friend Pam had phoned with a rare offer to set off early on the Saturday and tackle some of the more serious hills up around Fort Willi...

Aye, well done

! That second photo is a corker. It must indeed make you want to get back to doing some more hills, despite the 40-year gap. After all, Vashti Bunyan had 35 years between her first and second albums...

Nice report - lovely autum colours in your photos. All credit to you for avoiding the easy option of the gondola up from the Nevis Range car park, too

!

Aye; "Jarkness" is sort of half-"darkness", half-"Jabberwock": very sinister

.
The Gallloway hills really are full of great, strange names...

Nice report despite the weather, Paula. Being something of a Luddite, it's a bit of a relief to me to see that even with GPS, navigation isn't foolproof... I've had TWO compasses reverse polarity on me, believe it or not, due to putting them in my pocket next to my mobile phone case which has a very...

The Clints of the Buss are a shoulder of Craiglee and mark a change from the relatively flat Jarkness to a rocky climb with a significant worsening in the bogginess. Great wee report with lovely photos :clap: . It's a nice area, this. Truly, it's the Land of Strange Names, though - the "Clints...

As Rod suggests - what a difference a day or so makes - our weather wasn't brilliant but enough to give the views to whet the appetite for those further afield. As for the Hill of Horses - maybe it's similar to High Street down in the Lake District - in days gone by the venue for horse gatherings a...

Hi Kenny, hope you are all dried out by now, pity about the all the clag, no views to speak of. We did it last Thursday, what a difference a few days makes, see report Big 3 tame Wee 4 plus 1. Maybe your next outing up the hills will be kinder to you. Ah well, you get the weather you get, as they s...

Having set myself a perhaps over-optimistic target of getting to fifty Munros by the end of 2012, and with my tally to date standing at just forty-two after not having managed out all August :( , I was badly in need of a few quick “ticks”. The weather forecast for Saturday 29th September wasn’t grea...

Probably the biggest disappointment was that I wasn't able to do Beinn a' Chreachain (I knew I would have been in all sorts of trouble on the way back if I had attempted it) and it doesn't look like it lends itself to a round with Beinn Mhanach - but looking for the positives I guess it's handy to ...

When we reached our bags we had a bit of a surprise! one of the zipped mesh pockets on the waist strap of my rucksack was opened, and my chocolate peanuts and trail mix were completely gone. my lipsalve was neatly placed on the ground. two other rucksacks had also been raided. It was the work of cl...

This is one I’ll have to chalk up to experience ... ten and a half hours’ walking, with just a couple of “ticks”, a right good soaking and assorted photos of Clag to show for it :( . Still, some useful lessons learned (or maybe re-learned), and I got Beinn Mhanach out of the way, a rather remote Awk...

Nice report with some fine photos :clap: - it looks like a good day with good company. Ah yes, getting a banana of the right consistency is one of the major challenges in Scottish hillwalking, I'd agree :lol: ... My apologies for a bit of Scottish Mountain Nomenclature Anorak-ism here, but the Beinn...
