With a half decent spell of weather coming up, I was keen to capitalise on some annual leave that needed used up. With Sarah in Spain for the week, I decided on a few days of hill walking to catch the last of the winter and work my way towards my 100th Munro which wasn’t…

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…
A Munro Milestone: Beinn Eunaich & Beinn a’Chochuill
Sarah and I enjoyed a fairly easy circuit of 2 Munros – Beinn Eunaich and Beinn a’Chochuill – in Argyll. We split the journey with a stay in Tyndrum to get an earlier start on the hill and miss some heavy rain that was forecast for later in the day. Thankfully our plan worked and…
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…
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…
Redemption in the Arrochar Alps: Stob Coire Creagach
After a failed attempt at Stob Coire Creagach a couple of years before in winter, I thought it was about time I gave this ‘wee’ mountain another go and tick off another one of the Arrochar Alps. The fact that it was a near perfect day for walking certainly didn’t make this rugged Corbett any…
Blue Skies in Bridge of Orchy: Beinn Dorain & Beinn an Dothaidh
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…
Munro Bagging in Argyll: Ben Lui & Beinn a’Chleibh
After some spectacular views on my recent Goatfell summit camp, I was keen to get out and bag some new hills. With some good weather approaching again, I opted for Ben Lui and its neighbour, Beinn a’Chleibh, a round that looked pretty easy and very picturesque. The picturesque bit was definitely true, but I’m not…
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…
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…
