Frost in Braemar this morning but then a lovely few hours before high cloud moved in & wind increased, still a fine day for the hill though. Went up Beinn A Bhuird from Linn Of Quoich. Fine views of Ben Avon still bathed in sunlight from the Summit.

After Cona Mheall, we made our way up Beinn Dearg for the highest top of the day. By the end of the day @loz_hennessy boots had split from two years of hard service.. 😱 #autumn #mountains #Scotland #hillwalking #outdoors #Munros

8/9/25 With a low cloud base and rain forecast we decided to head up Ben Lomond to break in a new pair of boots and Lauren a new pack. After a small shower it turned out spectacularly better than forecast! 😎⛅️⛅️⛅️ #Munros #mountains

5/9/25 After taking in the views from the last outlier, Craig of Gowal, last top was Broad Cairn and even better views of Loch Muick on descent than last time we were here. Lovely to see the tree again 😎 #munros #Scotland #lochs #nature #mountains

18/8/25 Shiel Bridge. tackled the Corbett Sgurr Mhic Bharraich. incredible views definitely amongst my favourite Corbetts for views so far. The Cuillin, Knoydart and from end of the ridge you could see down Loch Duich to Eilean Donan Castle! #Corbetts #Scotland #hillwalking

23/8/25 Back in Glen Shiel again. Weather a different story 🤣 On top of Sgùrr nan Conbhairean a momentary celebration of 170 Munros on 2nd round. A gloomy rainy day, spirits lifted after meeting Michelle and Andy on Tigh Mor Na Seilge and chatted all the way back. #Munros
