No prizes for guessing where I ended up for another overnight hillwalking adventure! I have plenty of big epic walks up my sleeve for when conditions are right and I hoped to tick off one of these during May, but the weather gods had other ideas. The weather had been pretty grey and miserable for…

The Affric Kintail Way in 3 Days
After 2 cancelled trips in 2020 and 2021 (surprisingly enough due to the pandemic), Sarah and I finally managed to complete the Affric Kintail Way. This was her first taste of multi-day hiking and was the ideal length for a long weekend, rather than having to take lots of time off work. We opted to…
A Tale of Two Lairigs: Backpacking in the Cairngorms
With winter coming to an end and conditions slowly shifting towards spring in the mountains, Easter has always been a time that my dad and I enjoy getting out and about in the hills. We had completed the West Highland Way and East Highland Way at a similar time in previous years, but with a…
Signing Off An Awesome Summer: Summit Camping in Argyll
After a busy summer where I tried my best to make up for missing out on lots of opportunities last year, I managed to squeeze in one last trip before the end of the season. With only an afternoon and a morning free, it would have to be a quick one, so I opted for…
Above the Clouds: A Stunning Trip in the Trossachs
With a fantastic spell of weather due during the week, I found it impossible not to take some time off work to make the most of the clear blue skies, high temperatures and light winds across much of Scotland. Due to time constraints, I settled on a trip to the Trossachs to take in 4…
Munro Madness: Summit Camping in Kintail
After my original plans had to be scrapped due to Calmac ferry issues, I was in need of something else to fill a few days off work. I had enjoyed an epic day on my bike a couple of weeks before, so I was keen to start ticking off some hills again. The forecast looked…
First Wild Camp of the Year: Caisteal Abhail
After a very long time since my last wild camp, I was buzzing with excitement to finally get on the ferry and over to one of my favourite places – the beautiful Isle of Arran – for my first wild camp of the year. The most difficult part of organising myself was deciding where to…
Summit Camping in the Central Highlands: Creag Meagaidh
A wonderful summit camp to mark the end of the summer in what has been a very strange year indeed! This circuit of 3 Munros can easily be completed in a matter of hours, but breaking the journey and enjoying a summit camp at over 1100m is definitely worth it for the panoramic views and…
Mountains, Midges and Many Miles: A Cairngorms Adventure
For some reason, any camping trip to the Cairngorms (this was my 3rd) I undertake seems to be in peak Midge season, but that didn’t put me off from organising another overnight adventure in one of my favourite places. Slowly but surely, I’m working my way through all of the Munros in the Cairngorms and…
Saying Goodbye to Education: A Goatfell Summit Camp
Having sat the last of my final year exams at uni a few days earlier, I thought there would be nothing more fitting to see off my time in education and mark the start of my last summer of freedom than a summit camp on my favourite island – the beautiful Isle of Arran. Thankfully…
The East Highland Way in 5 Days
After an excellent trip on the West Highland Way in April 2017, I was keen to organise another long distance trail. Since my dad and I had walked the West Highland Way and the Speyside Way, the East Highland Way would join the two and mean that we would have walked from Glasgow to Buckie…
Signing Off the Summer: Camping High on Ben Starav
A fantastic way to sign off a great summer of adventure by enjoying a spectacular summit camp on Ben Starav, before taking in Beinn nan Aighenan and Glas Bheinn Mhor. [September 2018] For my last chance at wild camping and Munro-bagging before starting my final year at university, I wanted to try and pick somewhere…
