Over The Hill

Database

A database of almost 500 walks I have undertaken from 2011 to present day. The database is searchable by mountain or walk name, partial name or simply a few characters of the name.

Walks within the database are categorised as Munros, Corbetts and Other Hills/Walks. Select a button below to see a full list of walks in selected category.

Note:

Although the database contains almost 500 walk reports, there are many mountains which I have only climbed once, there are also many which I have climbed multiple times. Each report however reflects the individual day on the mountain.

A fine view of Stob an Eas as we begin our walk along the forest track towards Cruach nan Capull

Nearing the end of the forest track along Coirie No .....

..... where we then take to a much less defined path through a scrubland of broken remains of previous felling and new sporadic growth

Rough ground between the scrubland and the open hillside

The final stretch to the old broken fenceline and the forest boundary onto the open hillside

Loch Fyne from the lower slopes of the north ridge of Cruach nan Capull

Beginning the steady climb up the broad grassy ridge towards the summit of Cruach nan Capull

Nearing the summit area and we encounter a few wet and boggy areas, this one is certainly not for crossing!

Some of the wonderful views of the surrounding hills

The lack of distance is irrelevant when the clouds give focus on the nearby tops

The grassy rolling hills to be found around Hell's Glen

Quite a strong wind blowing around us as we approach the summit

Obligatory summit photo, Cruach nan Capull 565m

First objective of the descent, getting around this peat bog that lies just off of the summit

Following the easiest line of descent down to the 423m bealach

A steady descent at first .....

..... with a few twists and turns .....

..... some steep sections .....

..... and some even steeper sections

Crossing the 423m bealach

And a fine pause just before leaving the open hillside to take the old logging path back to the main forest track

A final view of Loch Fyne as we leave the hillside behind
