Time away .... Quality Time back
An ideal trip in the camper van (it has been costing me a packet recently!) and the last time we were here it was a washout and disappointingly bad! We were hoping for better on this trip....

Beware Of Falling Into The Youtube Gear Trap!

Getting out onto the mountain is never boring! However you can spice things up a little by getting to know the mountain via different routes. The conditions are always different on each trip too. I also apologise for my moaning about gear in this video but think some of my points may be justified about the RUclips Gear trap!!

Fashionably Late To The YouTube Wild Camping Gathering! ;)

Having arrived a good few hours after my companions to start the journey in, I decided to take the MTB bike and bike pack with my gear to make up some time! Only problem was I didn't know where they would be camping and there was no signal! However the pitch did have a private beach and stupendous mountain views!

Choosing The Steep Ascent! Beinn an Lochain Arrochar !

A night away in the camper van and deciding on a new route up a familiar mountain-Beinn an Lochain . A new but very steep way up a fantastic mountain. Weather was incoming though and a battle against time to try and get round before the storm hit. Also a circular way , does it beat the linear usual ascent route ??

Is Hill Walking Now Fashionable ? Tolmount Ice

The Best way up BEN NEVIS : Scotland's Highest Mountain via the CMD Arete

Ben Nevis via The CMD Arete is one of Scotland's Best routes and certinly one of the best ways to the summit of the UK's highest Mountain. When a spring weather window opened up for a short period after some snow fall, I headed off on a rather early but amazing climb to the top of Britain. I also had a little complaint at the end of the hike..... Ben Nevis Playlist here - ruclips.net/p/PLhFhqvu...

I've often wondered about the two sisters on how the route would be. Must admit I never knew or seen that howf in the approach into that Coire as I never noticed it last year whilst climbing Bidean via Stob Coire Nan Lochan.
