Arkle and Foinaven - two huge mountains and bigger than their height suggests. Foinaven is amazing. Really glad to make a through-trip of this with Helen, still 30kms. Absolutely awesome part of the world. Must return soon.

For ten minutes the setting sun broke out for one of the deepest sunsets I've ever seen - the Torridonian was glowing bright, shimmering orange, hard to believe it was so intense.

A solo trip from Sgurr nan Eag to Sgurr nan Gillean over all the Cuillin Munros, mostly scrambling variations and linked into a rope for the InPinn. An unexpected and pleasant 6 hour traverse, happily down before dark.

Helen dropped me off on the Ahcintore high road, and the first six Munros felt fun. Something about Na Gruagaichean and Binnein Mor felt lik a 'serious' switch had flicked and I got pretty cold at Coire an Lochain. Squeezed the last two out and down to GLen Nevis for last light. Last few miles hurt a bit then back to Fort William for food with Steve and dad. Ooft - a toughie.

Sitting on top of Devil's Point in darkness, looking at the stars. Same again in Glen Geusachan! It was great. Knackered by time we got back to Stirling.

2019 September 22 21.1km / 2100m / 11h 53m Cuillin north half with Struan! Went to Banachdaich first, then headed north. Lots of short pitches going over Sgurr a' Mhadaidh, an abseil off An Caisteal into the notch, then completing the half-traverse on Am Basteir then Gillean. More short pitches then an abseil off Gillean, then a jog down Glen Brittle back to my car in last light. It was brilliant! (and I was tired for a while after)

So glad I did them all, including all those NE tops of Ceathramhnan, as far as Creag Ghlas. It's been on the wishlist for a while. Autumn is really starting to take hold.

Not happy to leave Avon and Bhuird behind, I returned the same evening, stayed in the bothy then headed to the hills in the morning. A misty and quiet round of these hills, including some new tops (which I always enjoy picking up!). The bike was invaluable for getting in and out of these hills and I feel I know the routes well now.

I crossed Colla Sgairbh at midnight and camped in Gleann Lacasdale just as the rain began. In the morning the cloud was down and it was a wild day - so headed back to the road instead of some misty eastern summits.

A pretty massive day out the back of Glen Feshie! Great weather, and long miles on the heather. The Feshie approached completed the trio of approaches to the Geldie Munros, my having done them from Braemar and Blair Athol before. After the Munros, I continued west, to two outback Corbetts of Beinn Bhreac and Leathad an Taobhain. Their remoteness was keenly felt by the sheer amount of legwork needed to get there (and then back again!). I was pretty sore by the time I was back at Ruigh Aiteachain...

2019 May 21 26.8km / 3000m / 10h 40m Absolutely brilliant day. Did the traverse from north to south. I hung around Sligachan long enough to get a cooked breakfast, then set off for Gillean, arriving mid-morning. From there it was a non-stop sries of decisions, thinking, recording, pushing, all the way to Gars-bheinn. Did eight abseils total, all 11 Munros and learned even more about the bypasses and climbing routes on the hills. You always have more to learn.
When I set out I wasn't even sure if this would fly, but I knew what to do at each moment. Thus it was a case of putting it altogether. Everything went like clockwork, and I learned more than I expected to. Prefect running conditions; sometimes sunny, but cloudy with cool air a little wind. Finished on Gars-bheinn seven hours after leaving Gillean. Two of those hours were abseil faff. I need to drop the rope next time and go light in the opposite direction! A stunning day, one of the best for a long time.

Conditions were good, a weak sun and brown hills of autumn, but a touch of frost, snow and ice on the higher hills bringing the beginning of winter. Most felt though, was the lack of daylight - I still finished (just) in the last scraps of light. A tremendous day and feel great for having done it.

The whole mountain is complex, rough and intricate. One of the greats and so glad to get there at last. Went on an outback voage to Sgurr nan Cnamh, and returned over the ridge of Beinn Bheag and Sgurr Mhic Eacharna. A golden sunset and a descent back to the car in last light.

It is also quite tough, especially when getting the legs going over the first few summits. The afternoon cooled off a little though and the legs started moving in auto-pilot. West coast views over the final Corbetts, a steep descent to Lochailort. Some food and drink at the hotel, then spent last light running back up the road where I (eventually) hitched a lift. Amazing!

2018 January 11 33.6km / 3100m / 15h 50m Amazing and epic day out with Helen along the Grey Corries, Aonachs and Nevis. Blue skies, deep snow and white mountains, couldn't really ask for more. A long day as well; we caught the sunrise on Stob Choire Claurigh and saw the sunset on Carn Mor Dearg, starting and ending in the dark. The Grey Corries felt pretty 'easy' (doable), then the difficulty piled on for the latter four mountains! Really tired by Nevis. But very happy to have this massive route complete for the first time in winter.

2017 December 27 22.7km / 2270m / 7h 40m A long and rough trip over a massive tangle of tops west of Loch Etive. I went out in part to get my 250 summits for 2017 (which I got on the 30th Dec), but I also really enjoyed the sense of exploring and discovering these quiet corners of Argyll. They are a well-positioned bunch of hills, between the coast and islands, and the inland hills of Ben Cruachan and Ben Starav... A hard day too; I was well knackered by the end and happy to have hitched a lift back to the car!

Started up Creag Leacach via it's subsidiary top, then over the Munros, always in the mist. A wonderful exercise in pacing, timing and intuition. We popped out the cloud coming off Carn an Tuirc, then crossed the road to Carn Aosda and slightly clearer conditions. The Cairnwell was in last light and thus the completion of Chris' challenge!

2017 June 20 44.7km / 5700m / 22h 41m The Sligachan Horseshoe - a round of the Red and Black Cuillin beginning and ending at Sligachan. This is something I've been actively working toward since last year when I started upping my mileages. I started bang on midnight, going over Glamaig and Beinn Dearg's by night and a drizzly dawn on Clach Glas. The Cuillin were clagged in when I arrived at their foot, but it cleared on the rise to Gars-bheinn, which was certainly the crux of the day.

The ridge traverse itself was the 'easier' part of the day, with the terrain familiar, the physical effort dropped due to routefinding and scrambling, and interest maintained in the climbing. Still, a bloody hard effort with all the mileage behind me, and getting to Bruach especially became a grind of hard weather under a hot sun, leaden legs and dehydration.

Leading Naismith's Route 20 hours into my day was a real treat, then the sun went down in the west and we climbed atop Sgurr nan Gillean. It had been a long, hard haul, yet equally amazing that something I'd been looking at for so long had been completed. I've taken out all the subsidiary tops (bar two 'important' ones) in this list - go to the map to see them all as the list is simply rediculously long.

2017 March 25 35km / 3950m / 13h 20m Truly phenomenal day at Glen Shiel - nine Munros in a circuit of Glen Lichd from Morvich. Something I've thought about doing for a while, and this was a good day to do it; huge blue skies and generally settled weather. Things got a bit hard toward the end, but ploughing through deep, wet snow all day probably made the day harder than it would be in summer condition! I had sunset on the Five Sisters, the sun going down behind the Cuillin. Walked out Gleann Lichd in twilight. Amazing. Body fried.

2016 October 24 55.7km / 4700m / 16h 50m Almost amazed I managed to nail this round this late in the year! Another little long-term idea is complete - the 12 Mullardoch Munros in one go. (I've done it twice before in two days). I worked out split times between the summits, all slightly faster than Naismith's, divided my time and went for it when the forecast looked good.

Walking at 3am, Carn nan Gobhar and Sgurr na Lapaich were climbed at night. Dawn broke over An Riabhachan and An Socach, and I was walking off my fourth Munro of the day with dawn breaking over the hills.

The southern lot were physically quite hard, and I picked each of in turn - a great exercise in patience! Stunning views all day and a chill in the air which meant that stopping for any length of time wasn't practical. Mam Sodhail and Carn Eighe had a smattering of rime ice, then I headed east over the last Munros, really tired to finish in dimming light on Toll Creagach.

Still ended up bashing through heather and bog back to the dam by headtorch, slept in the car near Inverness, and home the following morning. Quite an adventure!

Started reasonably late for this time of year, but had a lovely still, glittering afternoon, with silence and the stags rutting in the coires. Ran down Ben Cruachan to the car in the twilight.

At the summit of #1 I bumped into Mike Cooper, someone I'd traded emails with - an incredible coincidence. (Mike is climbing all the Munros this summer). Weather for the rest of the day was pretty mixed, but had a good time. Good views too.

A trip with Joe, doing a recce for his Ramsay Round. Been looking forward to this for a long time, with equal measures of inspiration, curiosity, interest and nervousness! How would I do trying to go 55km in a day? Well, turned out quite well, all things considered. Absolutely belted over the Nevis Range, with the first four Munros crossed in under four hours. The Grey Corries were highly enjoyable, then the slope to the summit of Stob Coire Easain was a proper slog. Down the far side to find sunny isolation at the Treig dam (quick break here), then right back up the other side to Stob Coire Sgriodain - it got hard here, but more in that the legs just got slow on the uphills. A sunny evening, feeling tired over Chno Dearg, then a last hard climb to the top of Beinn na Lap feeling dizzy. I picked up on the bit back into Glen Nevis (no more uphills!) and absolutely blasted along to Staoineag. Had a lovely night here, a good sleep, and left Joe to the Mamores the following morning. I had a nice (and sore!!!!) walk the length of Glen Nevis before hitching the final couple miles back to the Youth Hostel (cheers Dougie and co...). Sat in the sun eating ice cream there, and not long after, Joe appeared having ran the ten Mamores. Unsurprisingly he succeeded on the Ramsay Round a couple weeks later!

2016 May 15 26.8km / 1950m The Trotternish ridge, essentially in full, with Struan. Cool, breezy weather, and a wind from the north kept things cool. Started up under the Old Man, onto the Storr, then northward by a long, winding set of hills to the Quiraing where we ended up (just!) in time for a cup of tea. Then over Meall na Suiramach and descent to Flodigarry to finish the day. Struan drove me back to my car at the Storr, then home time, at last. Quite a trip. I was buzzing for the next 24 hours!

2016 May 11 24km / 3200m Again. Epic. Second time. The list on this website looks somewhat ridiculous when there are so many pointy bits to include. Anyway...! Did all 11 Munros, led the 4 classic climbs, did Gars-bheinn, Caisteal a' Garbh-choire, Bidean Druim nan Ramh, and finished down Pinnacle Ridge and Knight's Peak. All in one long, glorious sunny day. Did it with Adrian - same as last year. We both realised there was no stress involved, we knew we could do it, and just had to make it happen. And so we did. The only small question mark was Naismith's Route on the Tooth, having turned back last year because of a lack of gear. This time it was absolutely fine. An absolutely immense day.

2016 May 6 29.4km / 3250m Finally, some actual summer weather. Warm sun and cool air, but the day was really humid. Flew up Ben More in just over an hour, and made better route choices (i.e. more direct!) than previously to gain Stob Binnein, Ardrain and Tulaichean. Still felt pretty good on this 4th Munro, so after three times bailing here in the past, I finally continued westward to Beinn a' Chroin and co. Tired by the end though - just a slow plod to the top of An Caisteal. Picked up the bike at the road and had a nice evening cycle back to the car at the foot of Ben More.

2015 December 6 32.6km / 2000m / 9h 55m A really nice round of the 9 Munros on either side of Glen Shee. I'd been drumming with Maiden Scotland in Dundee the night before, parked up at Glen Shee somewhere around 3am, got a few hours sleep in the front seat of the car then went for it. Wintry hills, but snow conditions hardly tiring so I could walk distances more as though it were in summer condition. Weather was relatively good! Due to the previous nights efforts, plus a cold, I was very tired all the way, but as is often the case I never actually ran out of energy. You only stop because you decide to stop. Quitting is a choice, after all... I made the summit of the Cairnwell in almost-pitch black under a canopy of stars, then descended back to the car by head torch, happy and knackered.

2015 October 26 23.5km / 2250m Drove up the night before and slept in Glen Nevis. Wanted to do the 10 Mamores, but I was seeing off a cold. Six out of 10 wasn't a bad haul in the end, but I did not feel well and it was still a mission! A nice day however - weather was ideal for being on the high hills. Ben Nevis was simply impressive, and nice to see all day. In this region, it's just always there. You never break free from it's presence. After six Munros, I descended into Glen Nevis, across the wire bridge and a nice walk back to the car at Achriabhach. Stayed the night at Keith's in Glen Coe (by which time I felt much better) and home the next morning.

A very nice day with some mixed weather. It's great that these big Munro linkups feel easier than ever. Momentum in Munro-going is maintained, it's been a good year.

I went straight for the summit, then settled into some top bagging on a long winding route back to the car. An Sgurr was just brilliant. Lovely to be back in the far hinterland, and feel the thrill of isolation which is getting harder to come by these days that I feel so familiar with the Highlands. Cool left on Ruighe, then pleasant walking back to Inverlael.

Knocked a chunk out of my nine remaining Munros - just isolated ones left now to finish the second round! Enjoyed the slabby bit up the side of Cnap Coire Loch Tuath particularly. It's amazing these hills are schist, they seem to weather in ways very untypical of this rock type. Lots of isolation to reach Eididh, then a busy day over the central peaks - everyone was out enjoying the sun. Descent direct to the south then over the moors to each the car. Was pretty cooked by the time I was finished, but it was a long hot day!

2015 July 14 9.5km / 1300m Back on the Outer Hebrides. Finally got a clear day on the archipelago's highest hill - and also did it's associated tops (then back over them all again to get back to the car!). Stunning views.

Quite a day. It probably would have been a lot easier had I not been so wasted from the previous day. Meall Buidhe was slow work, the body was in a depressed state. I was almost worried for a bit - but these peaks *will* go down today.
Bloody-mindedness always wins out. Luinne Bheinn was a formality, and Ladhar Bheinn turned out to be utterly. Massive. Another nice weather day, but I was well cooked by the time I reached Barrisdale. No, I wouldn't make Kinlochhourn tonight, the bothy would happily do. The following morning I did the 27kms back to the car at the dam - with a huge meal break in between at the B&B.

2015 July 8 29.2km / 2700m With time to spare, I headed east from Skye - the Munros are going to be done this summer, so I'm putting in the time to see the 2nd round off. This day was a lungbuster, but the conditions were fantastic - cool air and a cool wind, warm sun but enough cloud to keep the heat off. Absolutely magnificent to see the cathedrals of Knoydart glistening through passing rain showers. Was damn tired by Sgurr na Ciche, but it was nice to be back to Sourlies too. What a mega day and the full link of peaks along the south shore of Loch Quoich finally made (having missed Gairich a couple of years ago).

2015 July 3 24.6km / 3100m FINALLY. Cuillin Traverse done! Adrian got in touch through UKC which gave the final piece needed for me to go for it. Was a touch slow as I'd just managed to shake off the cold, and as quickly as I ever have done as well - I couldn't miss this opportunity. Drove to Skye, got a few hours kip and away the back of 6am. The following 16 and a half hours were just pleasure - all the way to the InPinn was done in mist, then the skies cleared. Adrian's stashed water at An Dorus was much appreciated, then the sun came out and the way ahead was clear.

I never had a sense of great stress throughout the day, everything was there for the taking. Assuming I didn't crash out, I knew it would relent through consistent, gentle pressure. The only *but* was having retreated off Naismith's Route through a lack of gear - otherwise it would have been a full house - a perfect traverse. Went up Lota Corrie Route to the Tooth, then over to Gillean where we topped out after a shade under 11 hours from Gars-bheinn.

Then just a descent of Pinnacle Ridge in the sunset and a long walk back to the Slig for drinks (and a bottle of milk!). What a day. This one won't be forgotten.

Stob a' Choin in particular has been a long time in coming as it is one of the more conspicuous peaks in the Southern Highlands. Forest bash at the start, moorland bashing in the middle - this place actually has a very lost-world feel! Tough ones to get done - these Corbetts can be no pushovers...

2015 April 23 25.8km / 2630m / 9h Wonderful day alone over the hills above Lochs Lochy and Arkaig. Major works going on at Gleann Chia-aig, it is a building site and it made accessing the hills somewhat frustrating. Once up it was brilliant - early morning inversions clearing to a crisp sunny day, t-shirt and shorts weather, and warm light. Evidence of a mega full depth avalanche on 2nd Munro Sron a' Choire Ghairbh (went 400 vertical metres!). And on the subject of Munros, that's me 250 Munros up on the second round. The end is in sight? Get them done this summer! Anyway, nice sunny pound down Glas Bheinn led back to the car and drive home - up and down in a day - it was a long one! But very, very good. It's a pleasure to go an explore these less frequented areas as on the Corbetts and Grahams.

Busy on the Munros, much quieter on the Corbetts. Beinn Damh is quite a mountain! Sunny, golden descent straight to the pub front door.

2014 May 3 18.3km / 1270m / 6h 55m The main event of the day (having charged up the Pap in the morning). With Struan and Ian. Still loads of snow, nice weather and great views into the NW where the hills are still looking a bit white. Did a circuit of Coire Ardair, my first time doing this in three visits to the mountain.

I was in little doubt I'd do them, but I still wanted them finished! Upon completion, it was at last a release from the tension of the last few months. Just two easy Munros to the end, a unique feeling. All the big ranges done. Time to relax.

These hills were totally new - I'd never been on them, thus every sight and experience was fresh. Stunning weather, feeling fast, fit, and good. I was still feeling pretty good when I got back to the road in the evening, 37kms later! Mental. Some days are bad but some are just really good, like this one.

2013 July 20 30.2km / 2230m / 12h 50m Mullardoch day 2 - I was up early, with the sun and made Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan with mist in the valleys and sunrise casting light upon the endless vista of bare, gaunt mountains. I enjoyed the morning and it's coolness, and I made it to the third last Munro before the heat arrived. The last two Munros were too hot, and me too sore, to be enjoyed. But the morning had been brilliant, as out-there are you'll get in Scotland. I got back to the car more relieved than happy, scooted back to Cannich and downed a load of water. From here on, my parents would be up on holiday until Ben Hope, thus Mullardoch marked the end of one section of my summer.

A great campsite. An early start was in order to avoid as much of the grilling the next day as possible.

For a while I was convinced I wouldn't make the lot and I'd just go down. But on the rationale that I might as well try and do as much as possible, I made it to Bealach an Lapain, 4 Munros down, buzzing at my progress and absolutely determined not to go down! I completed the Sisters, made a rapid descent of Sgurr Fhuarain, waded the river up to my waist and managed to hitch a lift back to the Cluanie. Epic. Later, I left Glen Shiel for the last time (big moment) and drove to Cannich - a change of scenery!

Only (small!) detraction is the ridges are all characteristically the same - but I had a blissful long day linking up all these tops into one. Really fantastic.

Not the biggest statistically (though not far off) but the mountains were just so damn BIG! A low-key start under drizzly skies at Spean Bridge took me onto a winding Grey Corries ridge. I charged along that, then down to the bottom of Aonach Beag, found a way through despite the amazing amounts of snow left from winter. Over Aonach Beag, back to CMD, and then along the arete to Ben Nevis. Stunning stunning stunning. Met James and Zoe on top of Nevis and Neil and Liam at the Half Way Lochan. Quite a day.

The weather was pretty bad, but gladly we did all the eight planned Munros over two days. Things even cleared up on Alder and Bheoil; it was good... Met Roy and Steve in Culra.

A hyper-speed crossing of the Moine Mhor (twice), out to Beinn Bhrotain and back to Glen Feshie. Threatening weather which never actually came to anything. Frankly, a humbling mountain range and I can't wait to get back.

Skies were actually dark and threatening on my crossing of the Moine Bhealaidh, but the air was calm and the cloud base was high. It was like the clouds were fighting themselves out way high up. Great chat in the Hutchison, then a nice evening climb of Derry Cairngorm to take the weight off the following day.

Lochnagar was Munro #100 of my summer Munro Round. It was nice to feel as though I was getting somewhere, but to imagine I had to do the same amount of peaks nearly twice over again? Crazy.

Found a huge boulder on the descent I just need to come back to. The walk back to the car was amazing - especially Loch a' Mhuillidh + surrounding area.

I met Paul on the hill and we did the first three Munros together - a great boost to morale. The weather went fantastic - golden mountains, bright sun and perfect walking conditions. I went all the way out to Mullach Fraoch-choire and did a long, sunny walk back to the car over the moors. A perfect dusk of bright colours, cool air, hints of mist, and absolute peace.

2012 October 7 15.2km / 1700m / 13h 25m What a trip - first time on the Cuillin. Called mountain rescue on a guy injured high in Glen Shiel, met Cameron and Nath in the Slig. Cameron and I were up at 5am the next morning, drove to Glen Brittle. Eag was fine, Dubh Mor had interesting route finding, Alasdair was just amazing. Abseiled off Thearlaich, the Inn Pinn was immense, the high point of the day. Back at the car in darkness after over 13 hours out. Dropped Cameron in Broadford, got back to the Fort just before midnight, clipped a stag on Rannoch Moor, slept in multiple laybys and crawled into bed at 4.30am after 24 hours on the go. Immense.

Lochnagar is just amazing, really beautiful and it's amazing such a dramatic coire exists in the rolling terrain. I'd only got 2 hours sleep the night before and when we got down to Loch Muick, I crashed. The last miles along the loch-shore weren't pleasant but oddly I drove almost all the distance back to Glasgow. Great weather (big blue skies - almost like winter skies) and a brilliant day.

In size, this trip just takes the p***. :-)

Went with Struan with the intention of doing the 12 Affric Munros - yet another big mental trip this summer. Weather was good, the hills were long and hard. Got eaten by midges at the Mullardoch dam, slept in the back of the car. Every hill was really hard work, physically and mentally, and a change from the usual to be honest. The remoteness was amazing. Dragged myself over Ceathreamhnan in the evening and slept out in the open on top of An Socach. A good night - apart from the rain!

Mam Sodhail was a tough morning climb. I felt a bit sick. Each summit broke down another mental block, and we were not out of water until the end of the day. Was glad to finish up on Toll Creagach and get down to Fraoch-choire where a (finally!) a drink of water made the situation bearable. Went through the pines, onto the loch shore and down the last bit of tarmac to reach the car.

These are hard, big hills. No shortcuts here. I was completely knackered from start to end - I started wondering if I ever actually recovered from the Cairngorms?! I'd wanted to do this trip for a long time having been turned back in May by snow and bad weather. Glad to finally do it; a great trip.
1022 Stob Dearg (Buachaille Etive Mor) 2012 August 9 6.8km / 850m / 7h 45m With Tom - great, great weather. Good to be back. Highlight: Crowberry Tower!

2012 July 27 36.6km / 1950m / 12h Cairngorms Day 4: The day that really finished the round off! We only did one summit with rucksacks on. We'd expected rain and clag but it was windy and cool with big blue skies and piling cumulus. We'd dropped bags 7km from Ben Avon on the opposite side of Bhuird. At the summit tor, we looked back to Bhuird to see dark storm clouds brewing over the summit - I felt the deep fear of commitment. All was fine and good weather returned for Chaorainn and Bynack More. The latter was climbed with gear at Fords of Avon refuge, which is where we slept for the night.

The big slog over Macdui broke a mental barrier and brought us to new scenery. Beinn Mheadhoin was my 200th Munro and we descended to the Hutchison for a happy night. Perfect length of day, too - not too long!

Sgor Gaoith and Gleann Einich are mind blowing. The Moine Mhor is very amenable for it's altitude (wouldn't want to do it in fog though). Monadh Mor and Beinn Bhrotain were big hills and we started to get really tired at this point. Dropping rucksacks en route helped a lot, but I hit the wall on Cairn Toul while hauling mine up and over. Devil's Point was last, and we climbed it feeling very drained. A nice guy in Corrour, Steve, lifted spirits and we slept well that night!

35 Dunagoil 2012 July 19 2.2km / 100m / 2h 20m A great tiny hill on the Isle of Bute. Lots of cliffs, caves and great sea views

A lot like Campsie walking - at nearly 25km it is a long round, especially the walk out at the end from Carn Dearg! I'd thought about climbing Geal Charn (Monadhliath) afterward but thought better of it and went to stay in Fort William instead...

Originally planned to climb three, but it was going so well and the weather was so good that we just kept going. Initially, muscles were sore from Alder, but that wore off and it turned into a pretty long day. Coire Ardair is so spectacular, I hope to be back soon and explore it more. Beinn a' Chaorainn was a nice hill - triple topped - and I think we did Beinn Teallach just because it was a Munro! Struan descended after the fourth to get the car and Doug and I did the Teallach. Very tiring descent - and went back to stay in Boat of Garten.

Enormous and remote. Over 100 stag thundered away from me on Geal-charn and I got over Carn Dearg back to Culra. Tired but the weather was great. A nice cycle out, though I got tired toward the end. I drove to Aviemore and met Struan and Dougie in the Indian. They'd join me for the next couple days walking.

Perhaps the mist had something to do with that... Mostly dry though and a lot of fun. Stayed with Sam in Glen Coe YH the night before, had a night in the Clachaig, and got up early. Sam picked he up at the top of the glen and home for lunchtime.

Instead I attempted the five Affric Munros, in the end I managed two but turned around not without a fight. Cornicing, silent whiteout, avalanche debris - this had it all and it's May!? I enjoyed pushing it to the limit and keeping in control of my safety. But that's it for winter...

We had snow about 500m and cloud above 600m, so a lot of compass bearings took us slowly from top to top. It was a big confidence boost to navigation. A drink and chips at Fortingall and then a long drive home via. Lix Toll and Callander after getting Sunday night fuel at Aberfeldy.

All the mountains were on show - there aren't many days like this. At first I wasn't sure how I'd get back to the car, but when the morning went so well, I decided to finish the group and take my chances on getting a lift back. And this happened - I got back to the car and drove home, but not before Dumgoyne.

Mullach an Rathain (Liathach)
2011 October 1 9.5km / 1450m / 6h 15m A classic Scottish mountain. We'd hoped for better weather than light mist, but the rock was dry and the scrambling fun. Struan and I leaped over the pinnacles past the bottle necks of walkers. A lot of fun and an amazing mountain. Rain came in at the end of the day but couldn't stifle the joy of having done Liathach. One of the best mountains.

The whole thing would be great fun in thick winter conditions - as for today, it was sunny with a bit of rain and good views to surrounding hills and moors.

2011 August 20 15km / 1450m / 7h 50m Incredible day with Bealach M. C. - what a mountain! Like nothing else I've seen. Dougie, Craig, Tommy and I did this in high winds and periodic rain. We went anti-clockwise around Toll an Lochain, bypassing the main tower then onto the pinnacled Tops. An awe-inspiring mountain, one of the best. We walked over the Munros in thickening clag back to the Smiddy - a cracking club hut. The exposure can be mind bending - a big-mountain experience.

Could see for miles in every direction, all of Affric, Knoydart and Skye. Walked over the Brothers and Five Sisters of Kintail in a mammoth day starting at the front door of the Cluanie Inn and ending at the bar of the Kintail Lodge Hotel. I was fascinated to climb and see Ciste Dhubh having done it once before on an extreme winter night with Michael. The ridges were quiet for a Saturday, but the Sisters were beautiful and the final descent harsh. Back at the hotel just in time for fish and chips.

The Kyles of Bute and Tighnabruaich are lovely but the heather and bracken, non-stop all day was painful! Note: don't wear shorts next time. Very painful, legs cut to pieces. Very tired on the cycle out too, but got back to Port Bannatyne for a curry - made me feel a whole lot better! Time for one more, I think...

Bute has little (none!) in the way of mountains, so I located the summits and went ticked them off, Munro bagging-style. I started with Windy Hill and co., some of the first hills I ever did, back in 2000. A beautiful day on these rolling hills.

Aonach Mor was a nice (rucksack-less) walk and the descent from the Aonachs was much easier than expected. Walked up CMD feeling elated, then Nevis burst into view. Wow - what a place. A walk around the arete brought us to Ben Nevis summit and a walk completed. It wasn't over yet - the dash to the train station is yet another story!

The Devil's Ridge was a lot of fun, the weather on the Ring of Steall was okay. Na Gruagaichean was a very hard climb in wind and rain, leaving us completely tired on the way to Binnein Mor. We needed a lot of patience to see the Munros through. To complete the wider glen traverse, we needed to get to Meanach bothy for nightfall (miles away). We left out Binnein Beag, the logical outlier. Hellish climb over Sgurr Eilde Mor then descent to Glen Nevis in the gloom. It looked like Mordor - such an empty place. The river was almost too deep to cross (Mick and Mackenzie's epic came to mind!) but we got across in thigh-deep waters and settled in for a nice night with chicken curry but no fire!

We met up and went for breakfast at Spean Bridge. The weather was sunny and warm and we ended up with tans or burn, although a wind generally kept us cool. Even with most of the snow gone, the ridge was beautiful and a lot of fun to walk. A classic, with bigger mileage than I'd anticipated!

Views were enormous in all directions to many mountains, most spectacularly the main Cairngorm range which still holds a lot of snow. We had very little by comparison and the axe was left in the car. Loch nan Eun and the walk-out down Gleann Taitneach (classic U-shape valley) were beautiful places for the end of a very fulfilling day.

2010 September 9 15km / 1300m / 8h 20m Started traversing this ridge to get to Kasprowy Wierch, but whiteout and a bad navigational error had us descending early. Weather got better towards the end, though. And the mountain huts are just fantastic...

2010 September 4 19.8km / 1200m / 7h 50m Around six Glen Shee Munros with Michael and Martin (6 summits) and Samantha and David (4 summits). Weather wasn't as good as hoped although not too bad - no rain but high winds. Finally knocked the six off! The plateau was very Campsie-esque, with a lot of wildlife around.

2010 August 31 42km / 2500m / 12h An enormous day, off the back of confidence built off the Auch Corbetts. Camped this time at Inveroran before cycling down to Loch Dochart then doing a roundtrip of these five Munros. All new ones, too. Aighenan and Starav took a long time to knock off, and the last three were very draining, not helped by doing climbing a lot of Tops. But excellent weather, with sun all day, some high pressure cloud around on the hills and a temperature inversion in the morning. Arrived home absolutely knackered, more so than I've been in a long time!

2010 August 25 27.7km / 2250m / 9h 25m Yet *another* superb day - feeling on top form and going for miles... I worked my way around the five Auch Corbetts alone, since I'd done only one already - the success of this trip was a complete reversal of that Beinn Chaorach trip last September. The weather wasn't as sunny as predicted (still a sunny day however), but the cloud offered cooler temperatures. Almost perfect in every way really...

Also did a new Corbett, Beinn a' Bhuiridh and new Munro Top, Drochaid Ghlas. The weather wasn't as good as forecast, but it was warm with minimal wind and not a drop of rain. Tried doing all the Cruachan Tops but ran out of time - two still to do, good reason to go back. Finished in the dark, and all in all a fantastic day.

Great to be in the high mountains after a lot of flat long distance walks in June, and the first time I've used a bike for the approach. Great fun and nice to mix things up a bit. Incredible Cairngorm peaks all around too. Will need to come back for some more of the giants - MacDui, Braeriach, etc...

I took the train up Friday evening, stayed in the Orchy Hotel bunkhouse then headed off at 5.30am. With 31kms being the longest single solo trip I've done, I'm not sure where the energy and persistence came from, but it was a great day and these are were the most ideal conditions I could have asked for. To climb the five Bridge of Orchy Munros in a day is a small dream of mine fulfilled.

The up's and downs were exhausting but I gained myself three much-wanted Tops, and managed the summit after 7.5 hours! The spring warmth, great weather, great views and company made it all worth it.

2010 February 27 16.2km / 750m / 7h 10m A wintry day on the Pentlands. This was my first time here and we had our fair share of snow, wind and cloud. Very little precipitation however. These relatively small hills felt far bigger in the latter reaches of the walk, in part due to tiredness but since the glen had a strikingly Highland feel. Felt very remote for hills so close to the city and they were very reminiscent of the Cairngorms.

The last summits were definitely harder and a front had moved in by the time we were on the last Munro, bringing high winds and heavy rain. But a ridge walk to do again - the mountains are beautiful in this area. The waterfall in Am Fraoch-choire is incredible! Well worth descending alongside even if the guidebooks don't say it. To round off a great day, we got a lift back up Glen Shiel from a walker who we'd met on the ridge. Fantastic.

2009 June 4 24.4km / 2300m / 9h Around four Crianlarich Munros underneath sunshine with great views all around. The route was similar to one I had done in September '08, with some noticeable differences this time. Took it (slightly...) slower and packed lighter than before, leaving me with a lot more strength by the latter reaches of the walk. Also got panoramas from all four summits. In a bid to catch the train, the end of the walk saw me battling through dense pine forests, an interesting end to the walk.

Having already climbed Ben Cruachan, these three Munros were the remaining of the four in the range that I had to do. A long day out - my longest yet.

Went with U.A.M. as far as Stuchd an Lochain before Dave and I continued onwards alone, confident we could do a circular route around the loch before darkness. A cold wind on Stuchd gave way to lighter winds beyond, and Meall Buidhe was climbed with a sunset to our backs. Got back just as dark fell, 9 hours after we began. Perhaps I started my long distance routes without realising?

Did the "brutal" ascent of Ben More first plus the added bonus of climbing Beinn Tulaichean, one of the first mountains I climbed. Ben More and Stob Binnein are ranked (height) #16 and #18 in the UK. A pretty special day for me, taking eight hours. Shattered!
