I drove down Glen Etive, accessed from the A82 east of Glen Coe, and parked on an area of rough ground just north of the access road leading to the house at Coileitir. I then walked down this access road to the bridge over the River Etive and almost immediately[…]
Beinn Fhionnlaidh
Earlier in the year I attempted to climb the Munro, Beinn Fhionnlaidh, but snow conditions near the summit prevented the dog I had for company making further progress so I was forced to abandon the ascent. We were now back for another go. I drove down Glen Etive, accessed from[…]

Beinn Bhuidhe
I left my car in the parking area at the foot of Glen Fyne, just off the A83 Arrochar to Inveraray Road, and walked along the tarred road to the Clachan Power Station. A hard core track continued through a quarry and to a stock gate then to a junction[…]
Beinns Ime and Narnain

Lawers
My intention was to climb the Munros, Meall Greigh and Meall Garbh, from Boreland Forest on the A827 Aberfeldy to Killin Road. However on my arrival at the start of the zigzag track through this forest a sign indicated that access was restricted due to forestry operations. I therefore continued[…]
