On my previous visit to the Graham, Beinn Bhalgairean, I ascended it from Brackley Farm, so on this occasion I decided to climb it from Succoth Lodge. In 2008 this was the starting point for an ascent of the nearby Graham, Meall nan Gabhar. I drove along the forest track[…]
Sgurr Choinnich Mor
I was on my way home after spending a week hill walking from my base in Glencoe Village so I decided to climb the Munro, Sgurr Choinnich Mor, before making the journey. I left my vehicle in the parking area at the head of Glen Nevis, accessed from Fort William,[…]
Beinn Mhanach
I left my vehicle in the large car park adjacent to the access road to Achallader Farm, reached from the A82 Tyndrum to Glen Coe Road, north of Bridge of Orchy. I set off through an open stock gate where a sign indicated that it could be locked at any[…]
White Corries
It was out with the ski season so there was ample parking at the White Corries Ski Centre in Glen Coe, just off the A82 Tyndrum to Fort William Road. On leaving my car there I walked past the buildings to a sign indicating the footpath which headed uphill below[…]
Glen Etive
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[…]
Ben Starav
I drove down Glen Etive, accessed from the A82 east of Glen Coe, and parked on an area of rough ground on the west side of the single track road just north of the access road leading to Coileitir. I then walked down this track, crossed the bridge over the[…]
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
I parked in the car park on the east side of the A82 Glasgow to Crianlarich Road at Inveruglas where it wasn’t obvious if the Pay and Display car park was in operation or not due to the lack of signage. I did pay £2 for four hours but the[…]
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[…]
