An abortive attempt at Beinn Dorain. Made it to about 800m but the weather started to close in, and I took an awkward fall, scaring the crap out of myself. Still had a nice day, but the walk in and out isn’t pleasant: the path is heavily eroded and unstable.

Another of my favourite photos from my recent trip. The lower slopes of Ben Nevis shrouded in cloud. We did not attempt to reach the summit in these conditions, the route down from Nevis being notoriously difficult to navigate.

Three hillwalkers have been found dead on a mountain ridge in Scotland after they failed to return from a hike.

Emergency crews and rescue teams were called to the Aonach Eagach ridge in Glencoe shortly after 9pm on Saturday night.

The Aonach Eagach ridge has gained a reputation as the narrowest on mainland Britain.

Brief glimpses of sunshine in the clouds and rain on the Burma Road in the Monadh Liath today. The camera didn't come out of its bag much!

On my recent trip to I spent one day walking the ridge above Glenbuchat to the East of the Cairngorms. Quite a bit less rugged than the Cairngorms, scenic, and also a rare treat to have clear views all day.

Here’s a photo from my in trip that more accurately captures the typical mountain weather. This is on the lower slopes of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak, which is famously difficult to navigate in poor weather (up is easy; down, not so much). We only went as high as the hut, still 700m below the summit, for reasons that should be obvious from this picture.

Ingleborough just popping into view as we reach the limestone pavement of Scales Moor on the opposite side of Chapel-le-Dale.
