I drove to beyond the west end of the Spey Reservoir, accessed along the single track road from the A86 Newtonmore to Spean Bridge Road at Laggan, and parked at the start of the private road leading to Glenshero Lodge. We then walked along this road, by-passing the lodge buildings,[…]
Glen Affric
My plan was a circular walk from the Dog Falls in Glen Affric, accessed from the A831 at Cannich, to take in a few Graham Tops on the north side of the Glen. I left my vehicle in the car park at Dog Falls, which was empty, paying the £2[…]
Torr Alvie
I was en-route to a weekend based in Inverness so took a slight diversion onto the B9152 Aviemore to Kingussie Road to climb the Hump, Torr Alvie. I parked near the entrance to the Dalraddy Caravan Site and the private road leading to Kinrara. It was sunny and warm when[…]
Glen Tromie
The easiest way of reaching the foot of the Corbett, Meallach Mhor, was probably cycling the ten kilometres or so down Glen Tromie from Tromie Bridge on the B970 east of Kingussie. However I wanted to include the Graham Tops, Croidh-la, Clach-mheal and Meallach Bheag before heading for this Corbett[…]
Corrour
I left Inverness to drive to Spean Bridge to catch the 0757 train to Corrour Station hoping that the fine spell of weather would last another day. The train was on time and just over thirty minutes later I was deposited at Corrour Station where in sunny conditions set off[…]
Aonach Beag
I parked in the lay-by on the south side of the A86 Newtonmore to Spean Bridge Road just east of the bridge over the River Spean at Luiblea. Once organised I cycled across the bridge then along the vehicle track to the north of the houses and passed the quarry[…]
Achaladair
There were already a couple of cars parked in the large parking area on the access road to Achallader Farm, accessed from the A82 north of Bridge of Orchy, when I arrived there early on this sunny morning. I decided to climb the Munros, Beinn a’ Chreachain and Beinn Achaladair[…]
Glenfinnan
After spending a week at Doune on Knoydart in sunny weather the forecast was for another fine day so after returning to Mallaig by boat I drove east along the A830 Fort William Road to the parking area just west of the bridge over the Allt an Utha, west of[…]
Barrisdale
This was our final day based at Doune on the Knoydart Peninsula so the plan was take the boat around to Barrisdale, on Loch Hourn, where the choice of hills were the Graham, Slat Bheinn or the Corbett, Sgurr a’ Choire-bheithe. We all disembarked onto the rocks near Fraoch Eilean[…]
Head of Loch Nevis
We were dropped off by dingy in small groups at the mouth of the Finiskaig River after a boat trip up Loch Nevis from Doune on the Knoydart Peninsula where we were staying for a week. The group heading for the Corbett, Ben Aden were first off and on their[…]
