The Arrochar Trail

Soooo I was super productive last Sunday and managed to fit in a quick hill walk before my mum was up looking for her Mother’s Day presents. I also realised this would have been a good walk for any active mums before going for a nice Mother’s Day lunch but as usual I was soContinue reading “The Arrochar Trail”

Ben Arthur’s Bothy

It’s not often I get to say this, but the weather was amazing in Scotland over the weekend. It was still FREEEZING (obvs) but the sun was out, and everyone was absolutely buzzin’. And what better way to enjoy the weather than with a hill walk and a trip to the pub?! After spending theContinue reading “Ben Arthur’s Bothy”

Cruach Tairbert

The first hill climb of 2018 started off well… NAAAT! Thinking that it’d be a great idea to travel up to Loch Lomand to climb Cruach Tairbert in the middle of all the snow that we have in Scotland right now was not one of my brighter ideas. Me and my friend headed off aroundContinue reading “Cruach Tairbert”

Meikle Bin

Winter has always been my favourite time of the year, I love being all wrapped up and drinking copious amounts of hot chocolate (with mini marshmallows obv) and wearing a bobble hat… any excuse for a bobble hat! I’ve probably climbed more hills in the winter than any other time – the autumn/ snowy surroundingsContinue reading “Meikle Bin”

Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond has been on my list of munros to climb for so long but I wanted to wait until I knew it was going to be a clear day (which isn’t very often in Scotland) there was no way I was putting myself through that climb to then not be able to see anythingContinue reading “Ben Lomond”

The Cobbler

I had initially been put off climbing The Cobbler as it seems like everyone and their granny climbs it but after doing it I can see why… The Cobbler (also known as Ben Arthur) is found in Arrochar, just passed Tarbet, about an hour’s drive from Glasgow, with CityLink buses available also. It is famousContinue reading “The Cobbler”

Dun Na Cuaiche

For any newbie hill walkers like myself, this is a great, short, steep walk up to an 18th-century watchtower above Loch Fyne, overlooking Inveraray; the views are incredible, at 700 ft. this is an easier hill and suitable for little ones. The drive up is just as beautiful; a straight road from Glasgow, over theContinue reading “Dun Na Cuaiche”
