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 [...]

2004-2011 It doesn’t seem that long ago, the day I stepped off on the North Downs Way on my first ever days trailwalk. Over seven years later and 10 trails completed, it seemed like a good idea to revisit some of them with a potted photographic history. Having had a guddle around on You Tube [...]

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 [...]

Kingshouse – Kinlochleven – 9 miles The penultimate day and another short one, albeit over the Devils Staircase. We had stayed in Kinlocheleven the previous night, and mindful of the weather forecast we were pleasantly surprised to find the town free of snow when we left in the morning. The problem with Kinlochleven is it [...]

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 [...]

St Cuthberts Way Day 5 – Kyloe to Lindesfarne – via Pilgrims Path The final day of the walk started with grey, but thankfully dry sky (we were yet to discover our planning faux pas). We had a little time to kill, with only a short walk of 4 or 5km to the Causeway and [...]

St Cuthberts Way – Day 4 Wooler – Kyloe – Approx 20km This was to be a slightly shorter day for us, a decision made due to the tide tables which dictate safe crossing times to Lindesfarne. We had decided that the days walk would cut things a little fine to cross so we would [...]

St Cuthberts Way – Day 3 Kirk Yetholm – Wooler – approx 13 miles One thing I forgot to mention about the previous day was the rather spectacular hill fort that could clearly be seen from the top of Wideopen hill, perched somewhat clumsily on top of Hownam Law. These hill forts were to become [...]
