Tales of walking, running and mood dependent, maybe other random stuff!
Leaving Ullapool we opted to head for Seana Bhraigh, the munro we could have added on yesterday but didn’t due to the inclement weather. Having now done it I’m still undecided if I would have enjoyed it yesterday. It was quite a lengthy walk, although didn’t look that much of a leap from Eididh nan … Continue reading Seana Bhraigh: A Long Day
Search the walkhighlands website for this munro and you’ll find it as part of the Beinn Dearg circuit. Most commonly done as part of this, it’s the fourth munro of the round, and for us, the one we missed back in 2012. It was Super Saturday of the Olympics, we were novices with regards to … Continue reading Unfinished business in Ullapool: Eididh nan Clach Geala
Mayar and Driesh were the planned hills for today. However, changeable forecasts and the prospect of prolonged heavy rain put paid to this plan. The decision was made to head for Braemar instead, and Carn an Tuirc seemed like a good bet. We’ve done it before, although not during Bruce’s 50 in 150 challenge. It’s … Continue reading Carn an Tuirc Revisited: End of Bruce’s #50in150 for Charlie House
Having checked out the weather forecast for the weekend we were left with no alternative. Alarm set for 5 am, it was a ridiculously early start (all the more so for those of us on holiday!) in order to head for Spean Bridge. These have been on Bruce’s radar for a few years now, but … Continue reading Grey Corries, Fort William
Day 5: The day got off to a mixed start. Frustratingly, having bolted down breakfast to get the early (8 am) train, it was approximately half an hour late. On the upside, we hadn’t realised we needed to book seats (it was the Caledonian Sleeper) but were advised we were in luck - seats were … Continue reading Tyndrum Hols (Part 3): The Final Instalment
Day 1: Stuchd an Lochain The drive out Glen Lyon seemed to take forever, all the more so being caught behind a bus! Parking up just ahead of the dam, we donned our boots and began a gentle walk to the cairn that indicates the turn off for Stuchd an Lochain. This took us gently … Continue reading Tyndrum Hols (Part 1): there’s more to Tyndrum than the Green Welly Stop!
A test of navigation on An Socach
Day 4: Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy Having very much enjoyed the last few days but feeling somewhat tired, I’d resolved last night that today would be a day off. The original plan had been to have breakfast, read my book (Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine) and go for a run along the West Highland … Continue reading Tyndrum, Days 4-6 (‘Spring’ holiday)
The first instalment of our Spring walking holiday, based in Tyndrum. Snowy tops on the munros made for beautiful scenery (when we weren't fogged in)!
This is the excerpt for your very first post.
Clare, happiest outdoors!
