Glen Finglas and the Mell An early start this morning in glorious sunshine to head up to the Trossachs for a day walk that turned out to be bang on 17 miles. The walk is a part linear, part circular – a walk past the Finglas Reservoir, to where the route splits, then a big [...]

Tibbie Sheils and the Southern Upland Way With the weather forecast being pretty reasonable, I decided to return to the Borders and walk a section of the Southern Upland Way (SUW), returning to Tibbie Shiels via a route that would in essence create a giant figure-of-eight loop. I had managed to extract myself from [...]

Ettrick Pen I decided to do a walk in the Borders for a change – the Ettrick Horseshoe was to be the destination, a fine and airy round that gives fine views all round. The only problem is it is a swine to get to. Struggling to evict my carcass from bed this morning I [...]

Cort-ma Law This year I have set myself the modest target of walking (or hiking) 500 miles, which works out at just under 10 miles a week. In retrospect I am hoping to smash the target – but I have to get there first! Using my GPS and the fantastic Garmin Connect, I have found [...]

Ben A’an A leisurely start saw us leave the house at half past nine for the journey over the Campsie Fells up to the Trossachs. It was quite difficult getting up though, after only four hours sleep! Typically, at that time of the morning the roads were quiet, but as we reached the car-park at [...]

Day 1 After coming across this walk on one of the walking forums I decided to try it out for myself (with the tent) during the spell of fine weather during April. To get there I took the train from Glasgow on the Sunday, getting off at a fairly busy Rannoch Station in the early [...]
New Year Day Walk

1st January 2011 Well, here it is, the New Year and the start of a new decade, what better way of starting it off than with a New Years Day walk? This has become a bit of a tradition – ok so I’ve only been doing it for three years, but all traditions have to [...]

Benvane from Brig O’Turk With the snow already hitting the North East of Scotland with a vengeance, this had turned out to be the last real walking day (until the snow subsides at least) of the year so far. Benvane was the choice – a little brother of the better known Ben Ledi, though far [...]
