I left my car on an area of rough ground on the east side of the access road to Ceannacroc Power Station and opposite the vehicle track leading to the comms tower. This was accessed from the A887 Bun Loyne to Invermoriston Road at Ceannacroc Bridge east of the A87/A887road[…]
Above Glenelg Ferry

Tump, Creag Mhor Far North Top
The previous week I had been up the Sub 2K Maralyn, Creag Mhor, and several of its outliers, and on a separate day, walked up Gleann Udalain with a fellow hill walker who was exercising his dogs. On that occasion I climbed the Tump, Carn na Creige, and had a[…]
Hills West and North of Glen Ling

Humps, Sleat Peninsula and Broadford.
Beinn Bhreac – I left my vehicle in what appeared to be a small parking area immediately before the bridge over the Abhainn Ceann-locha, accessed from the A851 Broadford to Teangue Road, on the Sleat Peninsula, Isle of Skye. The road beyond was apparently private and led to the Kinloch[…]

Beinn a’ Mheadhoin Tops
I had climbed the Sub 2K Marilyn, Beinn a’ Mheadhoin and its Far East Top, a Tump, but not the South-West and East Tops so I was back to add them to my completed Tumps list. I left the A87 Bun Loyne to Kyle of Lochalsh Road at Dornie, drove[…]

Druim Fada from Glen Arnisdale
I was staying with a couple of Graham Bagging friends, one of whom climbed Druim Fada with me back in June 2013. The other, with the weather reasonable for the time of year, was planning its ascent so I decided to join him. We headed for the end of the[…]
