I parked in the Donview Car Park to the south of Bennachie Forest and on the north side of the River Don then walked along paths and tracks round the south, west and north sides of Millstone Hill. From the north-east side of this Marilyn a path led to its[…]
Strath Rannoch
We parked near the start of the vehicle track in Strath Rannoch, accessed from the A835 Garve to Braemore Junction Road, near Inchbae Lodge, where there was space for around three vehicles. We then walked up this vehicle track, which appeared little used these days, through the forest in Strath[…]
Achnasheen
The starting point for the ascent of the Graham, Beinn nan Ramh, was the A832 Garve to Achnasheen Road just west of Dosmuckeran (NH199599) where I parked on the verge. A vehicle track headed north but a gate in the deer fence was locked with numerous padlocks. Immediately to the[…]
Lecht
I was heading to the North-West so en-route stopped off to climb the uncategorised hill Tom Garbh-bheinn. I parked on the south side of A939 west of Well of Lecht where tree harvesting had commenced. The route initially took me south along an estate road but I soon left it[…]
Mullachdubh
The Graham Top, Mullachdubh, was located well south of Strathdon and would have involved a long approach route. A shorter route from Balachailach to the north-east accessed along a minor road from the A97 appeared more suitable. I left my car at the edge of the road leading to the[…]
Gleann Beag
I left my car in the small parking area beside the bridge over the Shee Water in the Spittal of Glenshee and walked to then a short distance north along the A93. Thereafter a vehicle track was followed east to the property at Tomb, this route being a section of[…]
Isle of Jura
The previous day I drove to Kennacraig in Kintyre where I met up with a couple of friends before catching the Cal Mac Ferry to Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay. From there we took the Jura Ferry to Feolin on the Isle of Jura before driving to our[…]
Ericht
I parked on an area of grass beside the gates giving access to Talla-a-Bheithe Estate at Bridge of Ericht, located on the north side of Loch Rannoch in Perthshire. Once through the pedestrian gate there were signs regarding forestry operations and here the vehicle track was covered in bits of[…]
Pubil
I parked below the dam at the east end of Loch Lyon just west of Pubil in Glen Lyon then walked north crossing the vehicle track that headed west along the north side of the Loch and followed the line of a stock fence uphill. I later left this fence[…]
Beinn Odhar
I parked in the first lay-by on the west side of the A82 north of Tydrum, crossed the A82 and a barbed wire fence then some boggy ground to reach the West Highland Way. I followed it north to the bridges over a stream and railway line where I discovered[…]
