Re: WH Summer Meet - 8-10 JULY 2022

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 ...

The secrets of Caithness

God Almighty, it's been nearly 3 months since my last report on WH but do not worry - Black Panther is still out there, lurking around the north of Scotland, bagging hills, searching for plane wrecks, trying new routes, meowing on summits, doing all the things panthers like doing :wink: My silence w...

Re: The fortress has fallen!

We attempted Foinaven (from Loch Stack) a couple of years ago but stopped at point 2 as we felt we had taken on too much for one day (we had first done Arkle..) so we retreated to Meal Horn. I had this crazy idea :crazy: that all three corbetts could be done in a day (I suspect they can - but it's ...

Re: No bagging from Beauly but trig, loch, fort & priory wil

Oh my home ground :D :D :D I go to the trig point on Creag na Manachainn regularly - the fallen trees are the result of recent storms. At some point, there was even a fallen tree blocking the main track: IMG_20220203_123135_695.jpg Fallen trees around the trig point: IMG_20220203_125238_270.jpg If y...

Hope always dies last

It was a cloudy, showery day and far too windy to venture out on the hills, yet the continuous frustration of the bad news from the eastern front chased me out of the house in search for some mental healing. It's been a week since our visit to Beinn Teallach and things still looked grim. I admit I w...

So small yet so big

Officially the second lowest Munro on the list, Beinn Teallach is most often climbed in combination with the higher neighbour, Beinn a'Chaorainn, but for the second visit, we fancied traversing it in winter conditions on its own with the return via the glen of Allt a'Chaorainn. We had done a similar...

Re: How to stay sane in March 2022

Great wide open views once you got up high! I have to say, until you hit the snowline, I was thinking "well that's one I won't be bothering with!!" :lol: Interesting to see the Spey when its little! Thanks, Mal, I admit I wasn't impressed by the new track until we got close to the summit ...

How to stay sane in March 2022

At last, my first of 10 delayed winter/spring reports, 9 more still pending. It's been a month since we climbed Meall na h-Aisre and much has happened since, feels like this was years ago... I spent most of March feeling like I was dreaming the same nightmare over and over again. Thankfully, the tim...

Re: The year of broken bridges?

It is one of the most delightful Grahams, we did the same route a few years ago. Well worth swapping for an easy Munro! Shame about the bridge... The brochs don the glen are an interesting addition to the walk, time allowed.

The last of Tain Subs

The last weekend of February brought me a lot of stress, both mentally (the war so close to Polish borders!) and physically (a bad case of migraine and sore tummy). I wasn't able to do much on Saturday and on Sunday, I just about managed a local Sub. Originally, we had planned to climb Cnoc Corr Gui...

Re: A Claggy Corbett, but Superb.

This Corbett is a cracker - one of the best traverses in the area. Shame you didn't see the full extent of the views but always worth the effort even in misty conditions. 136.JPG As for Na Gru, I hated it! We followed the WH route when we did it, and descended via Leachd na h-Aire, an absolute knee ...

Re: peak of the round corrie

I remember this Corbett as a superb viewpoint, even from well below the summit. Sadly, we didn't see anything from the top as cloud rolled in and spoiled the party :roll: but got some good vistas of Ben Nevis from the lower ridge. I'm happy to go back to this one especially with some snow still on i...

Re: Walking in the windfarm wonderland

I headed up Meall Mor today using your route (not for the first time!). Cheers for taking the time to put these routes and walk descriptions on. They've been so useful as l work my way through the Grahams. 66 to go after today! Happy to be of service :D :D Meall Mor is a very nice wee mountain (eve...
