I was staying overnight in the Morar area and in the late evening set off from Tougal Beach to climb Druim Seangain, which had recently been added to the list of Tumps on the hill bagging web site. On reaching the summit visited a couple of high points before returning[…]
Streap
Back in 2004 I climbed Streap on a couple of occasions and thought I had included all its Tops. However I later noticed that I had missed out Beinn an Tuim South Top, a Corbett Top, so planned to rectify it on this visit. With it being at the start[…]
South Loch Eil
Previously I’ve ascended the Corbett, Stob Coire a’ Chearcaill, from the A861 via a track east of Blaich but according to a Corbett book there was a shorter route from east of Duisky on an intermittent path. I drove east along the single track A861 on the south side of[…]
Sgurr an Utha
I left my car in the lay-by on the south side of the A830 Glenfinnan to Mallaig Road just west of the bridge over the Allt an Utha and walked back across the bridge to the vehicle track on the east side of this stream. I headed north up the[…]

Carn Mor
The car park at the west end of Loch Arkaig, accessed along many miles of single track road on the north side of the Loch from the end of the B8005 north-west of Spean Bridge, was the starting point, for the ascent of the Corbett, Carn Mor. Several vehicles were[…]
Gleann Fionnlighe
We were in Banavie near Fort William, so it was only a short drive west along the A830 Mallaig Road to the start of this walk parking on an old section of road opposite the A861 Strontian Road. We set off up Gleann Fionnlighe, this being the trade route to[…]
Banchory
Cairnshee: This Tump was located south-east of Banchory and was accessed from an unclassified road to the west where I parked at the start of a vehicle track. This track was followed into Cairnshee Wood later leaving the track and walking through an area where the trees had been thinned[…]
Hill of Noth
Parked in the car park on the north side of the A941 Rhynie to Dufftown Road just west of Rhynie and walked north along the marked path through a gate in the deer fence before heading east along the fence edge. The vehicle track became overgrown then just a mark[…]
