A small outlier of the Sgorans in Glen Feshie.

Glen Feshie and Creag Ghiuthsachan

The boulder at the entrance to the Red Mountains has now been toppled and replaced by a Park information board where folks park up.

The hill from close to the Glen Feshie road.

Path up to the base of the hill.

Summit area out over Loch Insh to the Monadhliath.

summit area in November a few years back....Sgorans behind.

Summit area looking out to one of the several ways up to the Sgorans.

From descent on the South side and the old stalkers track up to Carn Ban Beag and higher Sgorans.

Into the pines for descent to the Glen Feshie road on an old Path.

The path is a bit neglected now but can still be followed.

On this occasion the ants were not very active.

A feint path down to the outflow from the un-named lochan.

A decent wee marker cairn with The Glen Feshie road below.

Signs of perhaps a recovery for this path destroyed by the Tree gobbling harvesting machines.

Some of the Pines close to the path had been chain sawed down and with a few marker cairns and a bit of wear showing in the image above. Maybe it will all come back again. Just needs folks to walk over it again. It is all there on the Ordnance Survey maps.

We pass Glen Feshie Hostel on our way back to the motor at the Allt Ruadh.

We walk this route several times in a year that is twenty minutes from home.

As will be obvious from the images that they were made on a few different days out.

Good path upwards

The GR20 a walk through the mountains of Corsica.

Several of our trips to Corse began with a flight into Nice airport. Before reaching the port for a ferry to Bastia or on one occasion to Calvi we trended towards the wee hill with the outlook over the city. On other occasions a flight into Bastia Poretta was the choice of to reach the island. The trail takes the walker from Calenzana down to Conca following ancient paths and mule tracks used in the past to move animals to the higher areas in the summer season. This practice of transhumance carried out on many parts of the route is still practiced today. It is not unusual to find goats, pigs, sheep and cattle along the trail especially near to the several bergeries (small high level stock farms) encountered during the walk. The trail was initiated by Michel Fabrickant a civil servant and mountaineer who worked on the Island and who took onboard the itineraires Corse of Jean Loiseau and the idea of Guy Degas of a route from Calvi to Port...

Glen Tromie, the Gravel Track, the Corbett, and Glen Feshie.

We began this day out from the Wildlife Park with just a short distance into Kingussie the only part of the journey that was on a road with traffic. I don't think that bikes and traffic mix well on a busy road. However we survived the ride during the few kilometres into the village. We were happy to reach the Speyside Way trail and follow this off-road to reach Tromie Bridge and then follow the Glen track until we left it to gain the Gravel Trail. Some old farm buildings that have become Holiday accommodation. A fine wee cottage above Lynaberack Lodge. Bhran Cottage. A look down on the way to the upper part of the Tromie. Now on the gravel making use of the surface to reach the higher ground. The surface has been established for vehicles to reach the area when the planting of millions of trees happens. I guess that fences will come soon? However the track is very well made with loads of drainage systems and the edges have been re-established with the vegetation. A very...

A walk through the Vanoise ..Landry to Modane on the GR55..

We arrived on an afternoon train to Landry in wet weather. All a bit gloomy when we sought out a place to pitch our tent and where the soggy ground conditions told us that a fair amount of rain had fallen recently. We were about to follow the GR55 route that can be followed through to Modane and where there would be trains coming through the tunnel from Italy.....ideal for us to get back to Geneva for our return on the Easy Jet service to Edinburgh. The GR55 can be used as a more direct route as part of the GR5 trail that links Lac Leman to the Mediterranean. The following morning with rain still falling we decided to head up to a camping site Le Lanchettes, close to the Refuge at Rosuel, and wait for a change in the conditions. After a couple of days the clouds parted and revealed the white covering of the terrain to where we would be walking. ...

Getting about in the hills on foot and by cycle.
