Interesting route and good report. I like a Look what We Found meal when wild camping, but would pair a white rather than a red wine with Chicken Korma. Aussie Riesling with a screwcap is a good choice <g>

I've been going up to Scotland at the end of May / beginning of June every year for over 30 years now. I've visited at a few other times of year, particularly mid-February for winter conditions, but had never visited in Autumn before. Last year I had to cancel my May trip, for obvious reasons, so we...

The route from Calvine is very straight forward (I've walked it several times) and it's about 9 miles to the lodge. The climb at the start is fairly long but the steepest part is straight after crossing the A9 and within a couple of hundred yards you will find that you are still climbing but on a m...

I've only done Sgurr Mor and the Western pair so far, but a bike in to Loch Fannoch and a wild camp should give a few options. It definitely looks the best approach for these two, and I can carry on along the ridge depending on conditions.

I walked the two routes from Old Blair last October, not having a bike with me (and having totally failed to notice the bike hire at the campsite until I left). The Northern route past the rifle range was nice, and joins the other route higher up the hill, but it was a rougher track with at least 4 ...

Useful report on a couple of my outstanding Munros. I like steep ascents, as it gets them over with quicker. My new e-bike was delivered today, so that looks a good approach route for the Fannichs. Did you get an picture of the wild camping spot near the Lodge?

I went up Barf, Lord's Seat and Broom Fell the steep way from Powter How 2 days later. Barf is a fantastic viewpoint for Bassenthwaite lake and Skiddaw, plus it has a great name. I was up Lattrigg the day of your walk in the late afternoon and it was a lot sunnier than in your pictures. Maybe bright...

That looks a good route. I still have SCnC to do, as we turned back near the top in winter conditions when we didn't have a rope with us and the final section was very windy and exposed with cornices. The Black Carls are also on my to do list, and I'd been thinking of combining them with SCnC. Looks...

I reckon I first climbed Ben Nevis in August 1979, but I only started bagging Munros on The Saddle in 1988. I've bagged at least 1 each year since (assuming I manage to get up to Scotland this October, having lost my May trip due to lockdown) and still have 21 to go. I'm also now aged 61. I'm not se...

I did it from Glen Muick - a shorter but wilder approach that required a bit of navigation. Apart from the final ascent it felt much less of a tourist path and I remember a very pleasant stop by a stream crossing where i watched an Oystercatcher.

We drove in late afternoon, set up the tents and drove out again, then cycled back to get an early start the next morning, on the day the glen is closed. Left the bikes at the end of the walk and walked back to the tents the evening before.

Useful report, and great photos as ever. I'll be In Keswick at the end of September, and was contemplating routes over these hills at the weekend.

I did pretty much this route 2 years ago, but biked in to Glencallater Lodge and wild camped near the bothy just below Lizzie's Cairn. Contoured below the last 2 as I'd done them before, but it was probably harder going then going over the top, though with better views into Coire Kander. It's a grea...

I have an i-Poo'd. Bought it for the silly name, but it's actually a good lightweight trowel that folds up.

Hoping to do this one in October 2020 as my first day in the Scottish hills since the lockdown. Nice to see some autumn colours, as I normally go up to Scotland in spring or winter.
