Stob Coire Sgriodan/Wild Camping Video
Phone and drone footage for my latest trip. I’d missed out on bagging Stob Coire Sgriodan 13 years ago – and now I was finally returning to tick it off. It would be my first “new” Munro summit in 4 years…
Hope you enjoy. Continue reading

There’s Nothing For You Here
“I’m glad you saw sense” said the estate worker as I descended to Arivurichardich. “I’m being paid to be here – only nutters go up there in that weather!” I had been planning to climb Stuc a’ Chroin from the … Continue reading
Another whirl on Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh
As on all my previous visits here a blanket of cloud hung menacingly at the head of the corrie and I was struck with a sense of deja-vu as familiar waterfalls and rocky outcrops revealed themselves as I ascended… Full … Continue reading
The Road to The Isles: Rannoch to Corrour

Ardlui to Arrochar via Ben Vorlich
Ben Vorlich is one of those hills everyone should climb once. Only once. If Ben Lomond is the magnet which attracts walks to the hills over Loch Lomond, Ben Vorlich is it’s polar opposite. No easy path here, from whatever … Continue reading
Taynuilt to Bridge of Orchy via Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor
I’ve done everything possible to reduce the weight of my pack, so why is it so damn heavy? Around 35lbs, give or take. And there are no frivolities. Nothing for it, but to get it on and go. I had … Continue reading
Ratagan Day 2: Sgurr an t-Searraich
We began opposite the Kintail Lodge Hotel, quickly locating a gate in the deer fence, before clambering up a small gully into the ridge. Despite the forecast it was roasting, and the view back down the loch was stunning, … Continue reading
Trip Report: Beinn Udlamain
It had been over a month since my last hillwalk, a month in which I had over indulged in eating and drinking, more so the former. I’ve not been running either, so this first serious walk of the year came … Continue reading

Beinn Inverveigh and Meall Tairbh
Another outing with Glasgow HF, and a chance to complete the walk I started last year to Meall Tairbh via Ben Inverveigh. On my last visit I had cut the walk short, partly due to a lack of time, partly … Continue reading
