Beinn nam Ban

I was staying at the Sail Mhor hostel for a few days but saturday morning brought rain and cloud so low that little Loch Broom was lost. However, I thought I'd head up into the mists to bag this wee one across the loch. I parked near the highest point of the road to Badrallach and looking at the map...

Cnap Cruinn

I'll start by being honest and saying that this was not the most enjoyable of hills: the weather was unexpectedly poor and, on the latter half of the walk, the terrain was unrelentingly awful! I parked just before An Dubh Lochan on the minor road to Fersit and headed of west on the track through the...

Beinn a' Mhonicag

It was Friday and I was driving up to Tulloch hostel for the weekend with friends. Being retired, I could go up a bit earlier than some and have a short walk on a nearby hill before arriving at the hostel - so Beinn a' Mhonicag it was. I went up Glen Roy as far as Achavady where I could tuck the car...

Beinn Iaruinn

We were staying at the Tulloch hostel for the weekend and, frankly, the weather had been disappointing ... until this morning which was clear, bright and sunny. Beinn Iaruinn seemed a good choice of Sunday hill before driving back to Glasgow so up Glen Roy we went to park just before the bridge over...

Cairn Table

Just wanted a relatively short drive to an area I hadn't visited before and a morning stroll. Cairn Table was an ideal choice. Parked at the 'walkers' car park' at Kames on the south side of Muirkirk and set off up the well-posted track. Fortunately, there are wooden 'boardwalks' over many, but not ...

Biod an Fhithich

I was travelling up to Kintail for a weekend with friends at the Morvich Outdoor Centre but the weather forecast was pretty dreadful so, despite a soul-destroying drive up on the Friday behind endless chains of caravans and mobile homes, I decided that a swift up-and-down Biod an Fhithich might well...

Cnoc Coinnich

Still nursing my post-op knee but heading off next week for my annual Kintail bash with friends, I decided that a light morning work-out was required and, since the forecast was showing a big yellow sun over the area, I thought Cnoc Coinich up the Coilessan Glen from the Coilessan car park would be ...

Ben Lomond

To be honest, I wasn't going to bother posting this - it's Ben Lomond, after all. There are probably hundreds of posts and I've been up it probably about 20 times AND it wasn't even my target for yesterday. I had intended to walk up the 2 sub-2000 from Cashel but when I arrived at 8.30am, the gates ...

Culter Fell and Gathersnow Hill

Still protecting my post-surgery knee, I decided upon another fairly low, grassy walk so, after the prolonged dry spell, this seemed like an ideal route. I set off early morning (7.30) to avoid having to walk in the heat and parked near Birthwood Farm before the reservoir road well over a cattle gri...

Beinn a' Mhanaich

This was my first walk and summit since knee surgery in mid-May so it was with some trepidation that I set off. However, I couldn't have picked a better hill or day to suit my purpose. I parked on the A817 at the foot of The Strone where there was a metal gate and space for 2 cars, I would say. P101...

Re: Around Morvich

Heading up to Morvich early August. Will certainly head over to Carnan C - the views down Glen Elchaig look great. Good report.

Uamh Bheag

Easter Sunday - the clocks have gone forward - it's cold and crisp. Time for an early drive up Glen Artney to have a walk up Uamh Bheag. On arrival, the car park was empty so geared up quickly and set off along the road to reach the bridge over the Water of Ruchill. Climbed a gate and strolled along...

Druim na Sgriodain

I was staying at the Corran bunkhouse so I fancied a nice easy day on the hills just across the Corran Narrows so over on the ferry as a foot passenger and a walk along the road to 014658 then taking to hill through tall grass and bracken. B0000685.JPG The route was rough and steep and I had to keep...
