Hello and welcome to my bagging blog. In 2003, I walked up a Munro for the 2nd time and bled from my eyes. From the majestic pinnacles of An Teallach to the classic pyramidal Buachaille Etive Mor in Glencoe, follow me round Scotland as I share my experiences.

Beinn Chabhair
Rather than go into work in the morning, I decided to get up the next day and thrash up this hill, being as it was quite near to Glasgow. If things went well, I could be back in work by 1400 and no-one would know any different. I hit the trail at 0730 and took the path up beside the farm, which heads up past towards the waterfall. Once over part, the path heads along a flat, bog-like direction towards a lochan, with a wee boat on it. From here, it's take your pick as you try to get on to the ridge which will take you up to the summit. I headed due North/NE and once on to the ridge, it was a straightforward pull to the summit, with nice views across to Beinn a Chroin and An Caisteal. A sprint back to the car and in work by 1400, thanks very much. What a joyous day. Until the lassie at reception asked if I'd enjoyed my hill-day!
