Amazing - this looks absolutely mental. Must do it next year!

This was a 20k hike from the Lakes of Covadonga (Asturias, Northern Spain) to Cain, a village at the other side of some of the highest mountains in the Picos de Europa. The night before we set off we stayed in a hotel next to the huge catholic Basilica set in the forest and the Holy Cave of Covadong...

Good effort. I attempted a similar route last year in winds of up to 100mph. I'm afraid to say I bottled it after about 20 minutes - having been blown over twice - and spent most of the weekend in the car

If only I lived only 50 miles away - I might have done it by now!

Cheers for the comments! Steve - I didn't see any remaining items from the war - I guess they must have all been collected up by now. It is incredible to think that people were in combat in that environment, especially during the winter months (although I'm sure it was equally horrific elsewhere). T...

Awesome. I was up there last week, my first time that far North. This area is amazing. We did An Teallach and saw 2 people in 8 hours, both of them miles away. Also went up Stac Pollaidh and nearly got blown off the top but had incredible views and wild camped on one of the beaches afterwards. Very ...

I have a Banshee 200. I wouldn't want anything smaller (I can't stand those coffin tents), but you can get your stuff in and you can cook easily in the porch, both of which are important given the weather on your average Munro :D I like Vango, generally their stuff seems well designed and good quali...

A five day trek through the Dolomites Tre Cime (three peaks) national park, culminating in a via ferrata up Mount Paterno (2744m). We stayed in 'huts' every night, although these were not crumbling shacks with holes in the roof as the name might suggest, but large, modern buildings with comfortable ...

Stac Pollaidh

Cul Mor from the north side of Stac Pollaidh. Loch Sionasgaig on left.

weird rocks on ridge

Wild camp just down the road, Stac Pollaidh on left

our_route.gpx Steady start: SNV30820.JPG ...then steeper and no path after 1hr, but easy enough to climb to the top of the first peak (900m +/-). SNV30825.JPG SNV30833.JPG SNV30848.JPG Easy traverse, good scrambling (but all can be avoided with paths). SNV30860.JPG SNV30865.JPG SNV30866.JPG Wasps n...

OK. Seems I got a bit confused about where and what exactly the brothers were, but bascially i'll start at shiel bridge and go clockwise. Thanks

I'm planning a 2-3 day ridge trip around glen shiel. I was wondering if I should start at Shiel Bridge and go down the East 'sisters' side to Cluanie, and then back up the west 'brothers' side to return to shiel bridge.....or start at cluanie....or go anti-clockwise? Or perhaps it doesn't matter? :D

great visibility & photos

i really can't imagine doing CMD, Ben Nevis AND another one in the same day.

you must have been truly knackered after that!

Nice report.

It's always more interesting when things go slightly wrong.

NIce pictures. I did the three peaks the same day and even got a little sun burnt. Never seen Whernside without cloud before

Probably the hardest part of the walk - the limestone pavement near the end. It's like a giant, chaotic cattle grid.
