Coldo Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 3 hours ago, microdave said: Ben Nevis in just under 7 hours today. Never again but nothing to do with the actual walk which was fine. It was absolutely heaving, which I suppose is to be expected on a day like today. I'm glad I've done it but I prefer my walks to be fairly quiet. Now sitting in the real food cafe in Tyndrum and about to tuck into some fish and chips. Well done, that's a good effort. Yeah, it was bad as we passed mobs of people on the way down, so glad we started early. Couldn't believe how low the Loch was on our way back down as in the way up it felt like it was near the top! Where's next? Think we are hitting the Arrochar Alps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back to work on Monday but still got a fair bit of holidays left so I might take a week in October. Not ruling out another this week just yet though. I also saw two guys base jumping which was interesting but definitely not for me. Pic below. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own experience (including the Ben) is that if you can be arsed starting reasonably early, a lot of the bad things about the busy hills go away. I know getting up at the crack of dawn isn't for everybody (me included!) but I try and start my walks about 8am, which isn't ridiculously early IMO and I tend to be one of the first cars at the parking place and one of the first on the summit. If you start walking at 9:30-10 as most folk seem to do, it will feel completely different... (when I did the Ben via the CMD Arete - there were 2 other people at the summit when I got there on a perfect day - and I passed at least 50 in the short time I was on the tourist path before I branched off at the lochan to head back over to the north face car park) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's paragliding. This is base jumping https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-47214717/base-jumper-tim-howell-leaps-from-ben-nevisI stand corrected. I was thinking at the time that you'd have to pay me a hell of a lot of money to strap myself to a parachute and run off a mountain. And even then I might not do it, but I can see where the thrill is for the folk that do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I just saw this picture on twitter of Sgurr Dubh Mor on Skye - it remains the one Munro that I look at now and wonder how the f**k I got to the top of it - the hardest of them all IMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Was staying in Tyndrum for a couple of days at the start of the week. Climbed Beinn Dubhchraig, Ben Oss and Ben Lui in one day. Weather came in rapidly, fog and rain just at the summit of Ben Lui, so sacked off Beinn a’Chleibh to get the 4 in. Probably for the best, as the plan was to head down to the A85 and hitch it back, but with Covid I doubt anyone would have picked us up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Staying in Braemar next month. I was thinking of doing Beinn a' Bhuird but have just come across Carn a'Mhaim and am leaning towards that. Anyone who's done both able to give an opinion? I was wondering if the latter might be busier for the the majority of the walk due to the popularity of the Linn of Dee car park but I don't really know Glen Quoich. Given the company I'll be in I think doing Ben Macdui/Ben Avon as well would be a bit much. Edited August 24, 2020 by afca32 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the company I'll be in I think doing Ben Macdui/Ben Avon as well would be a bit much. Neither should be particularly busy. Beinn a'Bhuird is a massive flat plateau at the summit, although there are some nice cliffs to the right on approach (depending which way you go). I was doing Ben Avon as well so i went up "the middle" towards the Sneck. Carn a'Mhaim is a cracking hill, it's got a nice narrowish ridge along to Ben Macdui and glorious views across to the 4000ers across the Lairig Ghru. CaM is definitely my preference of the two. If you're feeling up to it you can walk the ridge and head up Macdui, and return by Sron Riach down Glen Luibeag. If you've got one, take a bike into Derry Lodge. CaM is about 3 miles each way from there. It's a good landy track so will be fine for a hardtail mtb or even a bog standard hybrid, plus you have the added bonus of a glorious 3 mile almost freewheel back to the Linn of Dee. Given recent traffic through you'd need to get to Linn of Dee pretty early. Another option is to park at Inverie (if you've got a bike). Adds a couple of miles each way, but pretty straightforward stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I climbed Mont Blanc last summer, if that qualifies as a “big one”.Second highest in Europe so I'd certainly say it does.I did the Tour de Mont Blanc 4 years ago, which covers smaller hills around it but not the bug one itself. The day before we started, we were all getting to know each other and got hammered while one guy fucked off up there on his own and skooshed it. Showed us all up before we'd started the fucking walk [emoji23] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I did a trekking peak in Nepal about 15 years back as part of a longer walk - it was "only" 4000m and it was basically a hill walk with some very easy scrambling, so a big Munro but adding the altitude in to it made it much harder (for me) - I can't imagine what hitting 7000-odd metres on Aconcagua would be like (although I'd love to find out ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
