Munros

Another New Recruit! I was lucky, my first Munro gave me blue skies and views for miles. But for Kenzie’s first Munro? Pouring rain, gale-force winds, and visibility near zero. With three teenagers, a hyper dog, and a camera in hand, we took on Meall Ghaordaidh in what can only be described as Scottish hillwalking […]

You Want More? Apparently Angus wasn’t quite done after his first ever Munro last time out, as he decided to walk 10km with his mum the very same day! So with that level of fitness, I was quick to invite him back out the following weekend with Nathan and myself. This time I thought we’d

A New Recruit! I’ve always been very conscious of the dangers of taking my son up a Munro with me. The constant worry, not just about yourself, but the responsibility of looking after someone else always weighed on my mind. So when my son asked if his friend Angus could come with us on our

Our First Munro of 2025! In my attempt to be a responsible bagger and role model, my lack of winter training meant I wasn’t going to attempt a Munro until March at the earliest. However, a break in the weather combined with a massive thaw saw ideal conditions for Nathan and myself to tackle our

Nathan’s First Ridge Walk! Meal nan Tarmachan along the Tarmachan ridge, is a fairly easy Munro during the summer months, with some light scrambling around a circular route. We chanced a last minute trip in November, and were rewarded with the best temperature and cloud inversion any of us had ever seen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BSJ_P8FBbI New Equipment

Great Climb. Boggy Return. Surprisingly close to home, just off the A82, Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin are a popular pair of Munros that look down onto Loch Earn. The former is a popular Munro for beginners, with the later being that bit tougher and gives us our first taste of a proper scramble!

Nathan’s First Munro! Ever since I showed my son, Nathan, the footage from Buachaille Etive Mor, he’s been bugging me constantly to go up a Munro, as he wanted to be above the clouds! We’d given Ben A’an a shot, and he was still dead keen, pestering me as to when we could go up

Climbing the Most Photographed Munro! Ok, I’ll admit it, I was selfish for this one: my choice, and a step up from our previous adventure. A longer route, more climbing, and temperatures unseen in September made for a very rewarding day up one of Scotland’s most photographed mountains, Buachaille Etive Mor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rHEXjxC6gM Two Dogs or

Vindication in the Lawyers Range Exactly one week after climbing Ben Nevis, I found myself in the car with Matt and the dogs, heading up towards Killin and onto the Lawyers range. Was I mad? I’d completed what I set out to do the weekend before, and yet I was pushing myself further out of

Climbing Ben Nevis for Charity! A thought I think that has crossed every Scot’s mind at one point or another, is to climb Ben Nevis. There’s something about being at the very top of the British Isles with nothing above you that’s almost empowering and worthy of a challenge. So, in my 40th year I
