Sir Hugh Munro

There is a program on BBC 4 tonight (Sunday 20th September - 9pm) about Sir Hugh Munro which should be worth watching. Apparently it feature the history of the original bagger as well as some stunning scenery. If you miss it you can watch it on the BBC iplayer or some of the OnDemand services if you have them.

Knyodart Compleation

Willie Corrigan and Stewart Williamson are planning to compleat the munros on Saturday 10th October. They are staying at the Knoydart Foundation Bunkhouse heading up on the Friday and back on the Sunday. If you plan on going contact Willie for more details.

Nudie Pictures!!

Don't ask me how or why but I stumbled across this rather bizarre article about a couple trying to finish the munros naked. Shamefully the interview doesn't even bring up the obvious problems of midges. Would like to see them in Torridon surrounded by millions of the wee blighters. WARNING - There are a couple of nudie pictures in the article HERE

Glas Tulaichen

I was just up Glas Tulaichean for the second time at the weekend, and this time up I went up Glen Lochsie. I was fascinated to find that there was a train track up there until 1978 and it's unbelievable that someone went to all that trouble when we encountered more bugs coming down the old track than I have ever seen in my life. There were millions of them. An excellent article about the track can be found HERE
