After a delay of several months I've finally got back to working on our May trip. All of the photos are now up:

10th September 2009 - One less Munro
Yes, it's happened! Accurate measurement of the height of Sgurr nan Ceannaichean in Glen Carron has revealed that, at 913.4m (2996ft), it is a mere Corbett. This brings the number of Munros down to 283, as well as reducing by one the total number climbed by many a disappointed Munroist - including me. Ah well, at least I've climbed one more Corbett now! |
9th-16th May 2009 - Fisherfield & Torridon
This year's May trip was a mammoth eight day expedition to Fisherfield and Torridon. Having fought my way to the summit of Creag Meagaidh in a snowstorm on the way up, I then joined up with Howard to do the Big Six Fisherfield Munros, An Teallach, Beinn Eighe and more. Once again the weather was mostly fantastic. The following are now posted:

30th October 2008 - Autumn in Glen Lochay
Another sneaky trip to bag two more summits out of season! This time Ruth and I were in Glen Lochay on a beautiful day in October - the first time I've ever climbed a Munro in October as it happens. The pictures and text are now up, and you can also compare Ruth's account of our exploits on www.scottishhills.com.

14th June 2008 - Checking them out
CMCR and the Munro Society are continuing their partnership to get accurate heights for mountains very close to 3000ft. Possible candidates for measurement this year are the four lowest Munros, namely Sgurr nan Ceannaichean, Ben Vane, Beinn Teallach and Beinn a' Chleibh, along with Sgurr a' Choire-bheithe, Knoydart's almost-Munro. Personally I don't specially like the idea of losing existing Munros, but the prospect of another Munroing trip to Knoydart is very appealing! |
12th-17th May 2008 - Sunshine in Knoydart
Time for our May trip, and this year it was down to just Howard and me on an expedition into deepest Knoydart, otherwise known as Barrisdale. The weather was absolutely fantastic for almost the whole six days we were in the area. |
