Meall Reamhar

'Graham' north of the Sma Glen. Had climbed Caorach on a freezing January day in 2006 but was put off by Reamhar's uninviting icy slopes. Been on the to-do list for a while.

Looking back to Amulree

Ben Gulabin

Back up this fine Corbett above the Spittal of Glenshee. A nice wee plod made interesting by deeper than expected snow.

Orkney: Ward Hill and Mid Hill

Orkney mainland's highest climbed from Orphir. Our second visit to Orkney - great place, can't wait to return.

Not the best of adverts! (Next to parking spot)



Heading for Ward Hill



No firing today thank you


On target

Carn Dearg Mor

Corbett reached by long walk down Glen Feshie. Good tracks most of the way, ideal for the cyclists who passed us... twice.
