With some great weather coming up and a couple of good trips already this year, I wanted to keep up the momentum and get some more hills under my belt. With only a day to play with, we decided on Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh from Bridge of Orchy, my 40th and 41st Munros….

A Fine Day in Perthshire: Ben Vorlich & Stuc a’Chroin
After a successful trip a few weeks earlier taking in Ben Lui and Beinn a’Chleibh, Sarah and I were keen to get back out and get up some more new mountains. We opted for 2 well known hills in Perthshire – Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin. [June 2019] I always enjoy a drive through the…
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…
A Summer’s Day in Winter: Ben Ledi
A cracking walk with some great views, our ascent of Ben Ledi made for a great wee day in the Trossachs. The day was made even better with a bit of a cloud inversion in the morning as well as abnormally mild conditions for February, turning this into more of a summer’s day than some…
Small Hill, Big Views: Conic Hill
After a long few months at uni and a break in the weather, I was fairly desperate to get out and about but didn’t really have the time to organise a big hill trip. Instead, we opted for a short jaunt up Conic Hill – where I hadn’t been since my West Highland Way trip…
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…
Hiking in the Heat: Mayar and Driesh
In order to make the most of the amazing weather we had been blessed with in Scotland, Sarah and I decided to take a trip to the Angus glens, an area of Scotland I’d never been to, but one that I was keen to explore to enjoy the different landscapes on offer compared to the…
Munro Bagging in Perthshire: Ben Lawers & Beinn Ghlas
A fantastic day in Perthshire bagging 2 popular Munros – Ben Lawers and Beinn Ghlas. Completing these 2 took my total to 17 and was Sarah’s first two Munros. Despite their height (Ben Lawers is the 10th highest Munro), the day’s walking was not particularly difficult and fantastic weather combined with fine views made for…
The Tent Killer: A Bad Case of Wind on Arran
Despite a mixed weather forecast, my dad and I decided to embark on another wild camping trip on the Isle of Arran, but this time in a place that neither of us had ever visited. We had no real plan after our first night, but after an extremely windy few hours during the night and…
A Week on the West Highland Way
My dad and I recently completed the West Highland Way, Scotland’s first – and most walked – official long distance route. We walked The Way over 7 (and a bit) days from Milngavie to Fort William. We alternated our accommodation along the route to allow us a night’s camping and a subsequent night indoors to…
