How to remember plant names. (Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - 21:51)
Every mountain leader needs to learn some names of plants growing in the hills. Even if you are not a mountain leader it can add a lot of pleasure to your walk if you can name some of things...
Deer, forests and biodiversity. (Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 13:16)
After a lifetime of keeping well away from guns and despising the notion of hunting, I find myself in the novel position of wanting to encourage stalking clubs. It has taken many years of...
Quartz is really cool. (Thursday, April 30, 2020 - 10:13)
You know those white rocks you see every now and then when you're walking in our mountains? They are made of quartz, one of the coolest things ever! They can form beautiful crystals, they resonate...
Cuillin Ridge, Skye. (Monday, April 20, 2020 - 11:41)
​A traverse of the Cuillin Ridge is a classic expedition that many people aspire to. What most people underestimate is just how big a challenge it is and how well it measures up to...

During the current lockdown, lots of people are walking more than before, and more frequently. New places are being discovered close to home that bring people into contact with nature, and for...

Sardine sandwiches. (Sunday, April 5, 2020 - 13:15)
Coming home from a big day of climbing I used to feel a real slump in energy. This isn’t very surprising really, a day on Ben Nevis is hard work and uses a lot of calories, so feeling...
Skilful walking. (Tuesday, March 31, 2020 - 13:46)
This might sound like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs, but there is a lot to gain from learning more skilful walking. We all learn how to walk at a very young age and we all do a lot of...
Reflections. (Thursday, March 26, 2020 - 13:08)
Covid-19 brought a rude end to our winter climbing, just when it was getting really good. Three weeks of lockdown and probable restrictions on travel after that mean we are unlikely to get out winter...
Super icy on Ben Nevis. (Wednesday, March 11, 2020 - 21:09)
Another thaw yesterday fed the snow with water to dribble down the ice climbs and form more ice now that it is frezing properly. Today was dry, clear to the tops for much of the day but pretty...
