Ben Nevis via Càrn Mòr Dearg Arête

What an amazing day to attempt the Càrn Mór Dearg Arête to join the UK's highest queue for that summit photo 😂.

An easy start through the forest. Overtook a couple with their cat 🐈, which was happily walking off lead.

Really slowed down in the sun up Càrn Mór…

Dear Iris , I am very impressed with the hike you did today. Love to see the various Scottish colours and landscapes in your photos. My husband and I hiked a little in Scotland in the early nineties. Nature hasn't changed since then. Thank you for sharing .

🚲 Fort Augustus to Corpach

For our rest day, we had a late start. Cycled from Caol to Fort William and had a look around town. Then caught the Ember bus to Fort Augustus. Fort Augustus has such a lovely atmosphere. After some cheese scones we followed the Great Glen Way / National Cycle route…

Aonach Mór and nearly Aonach Beag

Decided to head up to Aonach Mór and Beag from the Nevis range car park. The hardest part was finding the start of the footpath 😅. We had to check with the guys in the bike shop, who kindly explained the route (not on the local maps!). Just past the…

Falls of Pattack

We broke up the journey to Fort William with a walk to the Falls of Pattack. After stopping at KJ's Bothy Bakery in Grantown-on-Spey, we needed a bit of exercise.
Most of the route is on a good track, that would be a more inspiring cycle than walk. There is…

🔍 Lochnagar path survey

Great day out on Lochnagar today. A few snow flakes fell, but the views were good and not too cold either. A few patches of snow cling to the corries. Surveyed a section of the main ascent path. Reporting back to the Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland to plan July's…

⛏️🥾 Mount Keen path maintenance

We approached Mount Keen from Glen Tanar to maintain the foot path. Ranger Jane drove us up the land rover track before we headed up with the tools. The 4 of us cleared over 60 drains and placed washed out material back on the path. Great day out despite the…

A great route from Lin of Dee. We cycled past Derry Lodge with the plan to leave our bikes by the turn-off, to pick up on the return. Missed the turn-off by a few metres though as it was surprisingly hidden. Very small footpath heads up to Beinn Bhreac and…

Morrone path maintenance ⛏️

A great day's effort with fellow volunteers with the Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland. We worked to improve the footpath up Morrone. In many places the original path and drainage features were completely overgrown. We pulled heather, cut back some overhanging birches, dug out the drains and widened the path…

Short walk to the impressive Maule monument today. You can even explore the inside. It was built atop Rowan Hill in 1866 as a tribute to the Panmure family.

Derry Cairngorm 🚲🥾

Last few snow patches today. Sky stayed pretty clear, though not too sunny. Great views! Snow was quite soft. It was a bit tricky among the boulders as you never knew when you would sink really deep into a hole, hidden by the snow.
We cycled to Derry Lodge and…
