Hike up from Doo Lough to the summit of Mweelrea (814m) via a dramatic corrie and The Ramp. The summit offers one of the most spectacular summits I’ve been to, with views across Connemara, Killary Harbour (fjord) and the sweeping beaches of the West Coast of Ireland

Research weekend for this summer’s West of Ireland Adventure Week.

Up on Nephin today (806m), the highest standalone mountain in Ireland and the second highest in Connacht. This is an absolutely cracking horseshoe walk. Stunning.

We got a Brocken Spectre at the summit too.

NNAS 'Straight to Silver' Award

Rather than using an app to find your next walk, learn how to navigate & a map will show you every possible walk. Yes, that’s right. Learning to read a map unlocks that potential.

Up on Beinn Dubh today on the Glen Striddle horseshoe, focussing on contour navigation in poor visibility. It’s always good to practice contour interpretation in a new area to keep skills sharp.

Light snow flurries and 50m visibility. A covering of snow but plenty of ice.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄️🏔️

2026 is the year for Scotland.

As they say, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

A wonderful winter’s walk up The Cobbler (Ben Arthur) and Beinn Narnain (926m) in the Arrochar Alps.

We reached the summit of Beinn Narnain at sunset then walked down at dusk into darkness with some beautiful light across the surrounding snowy Munros.

Thank you Dale for your lovely review.

A snowy bimble up Blencathra ❄️

Less than 20 metres of visibility on the summit and a good covering of snow. Only saw two other people… I wonder why? 🤔
