12th February 2008

While waiting for the Knoydart ferry, I took a day out to climb the summit of Sgurr Ghiubhsachain just south of Fort William. Ardgour remains a relatively unexplored part of Scotland for me, so this visit added a lot of new photographs to this section of my website.

11th February 2008

On this session, my first mountains to traverse were the Glen Strathfarrar Munros. Barred by a closed road up Glen Strathfarrar, I approached these summits from Strath Conon to the north. Text and Photos added.

15th - 18th December 2007

As part of my three week Christmas Holiday, I took a three night backpacking trip along the south end of Knoydart. The weather was hazy and cloudy to begin with, but on the two subsequent days some of the finest spells of weather emerged this year over the highlands. I've added text and photos for the Glen Kingie and Loch Nevis pages.

19th - 26th November 2007

On my next visit to Kongsberg, Norway the transition from Autumn to Winter was in its first stages. I went out on a night walk with a local mountain group, taking advantage of the new snow and enjoying the views above Kongsberg.

14th - 17th November 2007

On the next part of my week off, I toured the far north of Scotland taking in the summits of Ben Hope, Ben More Assynt, Quinag and Ben Klibreck. Some fine moments with photographs and text added to the pages.

13th November 2007

On an otherwise wet and showery day, I found a break in the weather out on the northwest coast of Scotland. My point of interest for the day was Stoer Lighthouse, which felt far removed from civilisation.

11th - 12th November 2007

On my first hiking trip on my week off in lieu, I traversed some summits north of Glen Finnan. I've added text and Narratives for the Corryhully horseshoe and also added photographs to various Knoydart pages.

19th - 20th October 2007

As a finale to my week off, I spent two days exploring the summits west of Loch Lochy, and Gulvain north of Loch Eil. The weather was generally cloudy, but some breaks allowed me to get some good pictures on Gulvain. I've updated the text and photographs on the Loch Lochy & Glenfinnan page.

16th - 18th October 2007

This was the centrepiece of my week off. The hills between Glen Creran and Glen Etive were climbed as part of a three day camping trip under initially showery conditions, that later became dry but generally cloudy. I've added new photos and narratives for these hills, but also for some of the Glen Coe hills as well.

15th October 2007

The first of the areas I visited on my week off was the upper end of GLen Lyon around Loch an Diamph. A day trip climbing two summits was done under wet conditions improving. New photos and narratives added.

5th October 2007

Before the nights drew in too far, I took the opportunity to cycle on the slopes behind Kongsberg one fine evening and take in the view of my surrounding area.

22nd September 2007

Before flying back to Norway, an ascent up some local hills near Braemar was called for. Two Corbetts by the name of Cullardoch & Carn Liath were climbed.

10th - 12th September 2007

During my time off in September I managed to walk a circuit of Loch Mullardoch over the munro summits. Photos and narratives have now been added. Additionally I also climbed a couple of summits in Loch Monar. I've added narratives, but due to the weather no photographs were taken.
