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

A lovely ridge leads up onto Beinn Iadain a lovely quiet hill in Morvern. Was very gusty wind at the top last week when we did it, but overall great weather. #scotland #hills #hiking

Here is a shot taken last week from the Summit of Ben Shieldaig. Looking over the Summit lochan Loch Nan Eun with Upper Loch Torridon behind AND behind that the incomparable torridonian hills. A day when it was wonderful to be alive & barely a care in the world #scotland #hills #hughs #munros 🥾

Some ground in foreground with the Summit lochan behind. Looking on the same level but at sea level, upper loch Torridon behind. Sun dappled mountains behind.

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

Still to do, could see it from this top..definitely looks like it has great angles, back to Beinn Fhada too. Might save it for a clear winter day 👍

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

True 👍 I do like my views though.. had views my first time, guess I’ll just have to do those Munro tops again..😉

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

Wednesday was looking too good not to get out. Seemed a good day for my 10th time up Ben Lomond. Nice to talk to a lot of people doing their first Munro, they picked a good day for it ☀️☀️☀️⛰️ #Munros #Scotland #scottishscenery

Walked the coastal path from Gudhjem to Tejn on Bornholm 🇩🇰 yesterday. The smell of Ramsløg (wild garlic) following us all the way as the morning rain evaporated. #Bornholm #Denmark #Coast #hiking #Travel
