YOUR MOUNTAIN SNAPS & TALES FROM THE TRAILS

The Cuillin Ridge is often regarded as Britain’s most sustained and technical mountaineering excursion. Co-editor David Lintern attempted a ‘walker’s traverse’ of this infamous challenge, supporting a friend’s Munro round. In an environment now largely professionalised, theirs was an adventure by amateurs in the classic sense

Meanderings we couldn’t fit into the issue, but which seemed terribly important at the time...

If you REALLY want to know Scotland’s mountains, you need to add The Fionas to your peak-bagging hit-list – starting with BEN MOR COIGACH .

Some things are just funny, and when it comes to innuendo Wales has one mountain to rule them all: LORD HEREFORD’S KNOB . It seems rude not to spend a wild night on it.

Moments enjoyed, lessons learned, handy advice, weird stuff that happened: welcome to the little bits and pieces that don’t make big stories, but do make all the difference.
