Walking, camping, taking it easy. I go into the mountains to get away from the daily humdrum of work, decisions, and technology. What could be more relaxing than camping under the stars miles from civilisation? Please note that I bought this product with my own money and have no connection with the vendor.

Wandering in the Cairngorms and other lesser ranges, by Neil Reid. Cairngorm bothies and how to use them. Renovation for Garbh Choire Refuge. Garbh Choire Refuge in August 2017. The campaign to save the small stone shelter was led independ.

I have been hill walking for over thirty years although in the early days this only involved a few trips each year to the Cairngorms or Lochnagar areas. In fact it was several years before I realised what a Munro. Actually was, and 1997 before I completed my first round on Ben More on the Island of Mull. Since then I have completed a further four rounds, two Corbett. These links will take you to a blog which gives an account of these ascents.
