Scottish Mountains
Just 3 days after bagging 3 more munros in a first visit to the Lawers Group, I headed into the heart of Perthshire to the west of Aberfeldy and parked up at the Braes of Foss. This time it was Schiehallion in my sights. Positioned just south of an east-west line between Loch Tummel to […]
Hot off the heels from 2 weeks in Cornwall and I’m back in the hills. This time I head to the north shores of Loch Tay and take on Scotland’s 10th highest mountain and two of it’s neighbors. The car park and route was very well marked and easy to use compared to some. In […]
My last hill walking visit to Glen Coe was back in June 2017 to take on the infamous Aonach Eagach ridge. Thankfully this time it wasn’t quite as challenging or hair raising but nevertheless, my next target in this stunning area was Glen Coe’s highest peaks. Tucked in and looming behind the iconic three sisters […]
Exactly a week after my 23 mile, 3-munro marathon. I’m back at the Achlean car park in Glen Feshie to finish off the group on the southern edge of the Cairngorm massif. Day/date: Sunday 17 June, 2018 Drive: 2 hours 20 mins Weather: Fair 20C at bottom, light breeze, cloudy 7C on summit Start point: […]
It’s been nearly 2 years (Sept 2016) since I last walked in the Cairngorms. Having completed most of the major munros east of Aviemore, there are a group of four in the southern end of the range I wanted to complete. I love the vast open space and isolation of the Cairngorms. This trip took […]
After 3 previous visits, I have well and truly falling in love with Torridon in Wester Ross. It’s a special place for escaping and fully taking in nature’s beauty at it’s best. My first ever visit to the region was back on 18 June, 2016 when my good friend, Petr and I took on the […]
In the midst of one of Scotland’s driest, warmest May’s one record, the weather, mountain and setting couldn’t have been better for taking in my 40th munro. Date: Thursday 24 May, 2018 Weather: Clear, sunny, high 22C Start point: Glen Lochy car park Drive: 1 hour 50 mins Walk: 6.25 miles At an elevation of […]
It’s Tuesday 15 May and I take on my 2nd climb and 3rd and 4th munro of 2018. No 38th and 39th total. I headed the unusually short distance and time to the south shore of Loch Earn to take on 3,280ft Ben Vorlich and 3,198ft Stuc a Chroin. These two munros can be seen […]
Last year ended on a high for me with the successful climb of 15 munros (same as 2016) ending with stunning Bla Bheinn on Skye. 2018 got off to a false and delayed start with a failed attempt of 2 munros in the east Drumochter Hills back in January due to wind, snow and whiteout […]
With Ben Macdui, Braeriach, Aonach Mor, Carn Mor Dearg, Ben Nevis and another 10 munros including the UK’s top 6 highest ticked off the list last year, 2017 had a lot to live up to. It’s certainly been a great year for me in the Highlands . Like 2016, another 15 summits were achieved including another 3 in beautiful Torridon in April and May, Ben […]
