Ardnamurchan Area Blogs
Blogs (web logs) provide an ideal opportunity to explore the traditions, culture and wildlife of Wild Lochaber. We have put together a collection of local blogs and provide the titles and text snippets to give a taste of each entry with direct links to the main blog entry on the host website. We hope you will find time to explore the full articles and further information on the host blog sites.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any suggestions for blogs you would like to see here.

We are sitting like vagrants under the road bridge at Scissors Crossing. Three of us are avoiding the blistering heat of a desert day before a long climb into the San Felipe Hills. One of our small band of hikers, who rejoices in the trail name Pathfinder and who had already...

I was recently asked "How did you train for the TNR". It's a good question, especially when people in the video say, "you can't train for this!". My reply emphasised that preparation was as important to me as training, so I'll cover both of those here. However, I...

I cycled the Torino Nice Rally in September 2022. I took ten days to complete my ride, which was deliberately slow, as no one ever returned from such an amazing adventure saying "I wish I'd gone faster", it was always the reverse.You can see the Short videos I shot and edited during the ride...
