Earlier in the day I climbed the Marilyn, Beinn Churalain in wet and misty weather but with an improvement in the conditions I was joined by a fellow resident of the self catering accommodation we were staying at in Ballachulish for an ascent of Am Meall. We parked in the[…]
Creagan
I parked at the side of the road east of the roundabout at Creagan on the A828 Glencoe to Connel Road and walked a short distance uphill on the unclassified road to Glen Creran where I had spotted a vehicle track while looking for a suitable starting point. Once over[…]
Gleann Leac na Muidhe
I parked in an area of rough ground on the north side of the A82 just east of Achnacon in Glen Coe. It was fairly early so the traffic on the main road was light as I walked west, unlike on my return when crossing the bridge over the Allt[…]
Loch Leven North
The plan was to climb the Corbett, Mam na Gualainn, on an east to west traverse starting from the B863 on the western outskirts of Kinlochmore at the head of Loch Leven. I obtained a lift to the start from some hill walking friends who were headed to the Mamore[…]
Loch Leven South
I parked on rough ground on the north side of the B863 Glencoe Village to Kinlochleven Road immediately west of the bridge over the Allt Gleann a’ Chaolais on the south side of Loch Leven. Once geared up we crossed this bridge then found the start of the rough and[…]
Strath of Appin
I parked in the cemetery car park at Kinlochlaich, located on the north side of the A828 Glencoe to Connel Road at the Strath of Appin, then walked across a cattle grid and headed east towards the farm en-route meeting the farmer’s wife in her car. She advised us that[…]
East of The Mamores
We left our vehicles in the Grey Mare’s Tail Car Park in Kinlochmore at the head of Loch Leven and walked up the path on the south-east side of a tributary of the Allt a’ Chumhainn where there were a number of paths through the trees some more worn and[…]
Beinn Bhan
I parked at the start of the track leading to Inverskilavulin in Glen Loy, accessed from the B8004 Banavie to Gairlochy Road and walked towards this property which included holiday chalets. At the access gate to this property signage indicated the route for hillwalkers which skirted the property to the[…]
Cona Glen
The start of this hill walk was the car park on the south side of the River Callop accessed from the A830 Fort William to Glenfinnan Road immediately west of the railway underpass. On setting off I walked south on the tarred road to Callop Cottage and the small power[…]
Glen Dessarry
There were already several vehicles in the parking area at the west end of Loch Arkaig, accessed along a single track undulating road from the B8005 at Mile Dorcha, when we arrived there just before 9am. Some had probably been there overnight or even longer as there is a lot[…]
