Well, that is lovely... An email from talented photographer Colin Prior to say: "Just a quick mail to say, I thought your piece in The Scots Magazine was excellent – a great retrospective piece with depth, so thank you for that." Read the latest ScotsMagazine with Robert Wight

Four years ago today Robert Wight and I did a round of all 10 Mamores on a stunning summer's day. It was a 23 mile round, with 9,500 feet of climbing. One of the classic 'big days' on Scotland's hills.

This was our route. The hardest bit, funnily enough, was the first pull onto Binnean Beag, which was brutal. The other hard bit was the climb onto Stob Ban after doing about 17 miles and 8,000 feet of climbing. What a route, though. Highly recommended for the very fit.

First decent weather window in mid-July when lockdown regulations allow, Iain Cameron, Feusag Mòr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I will attempt the Mullardoch Round - all 12 #Munros - in a day. We also hope to raise a bit of cash for Lomond MRT. Thanks - and wish us luck! uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MullardochRoun…

The National Park's car parks and some toilets will open up from tomorrow morning as Scottish Government's 5-mile travel limit is relaxed. However it won't be 'business as usual' and we're asking visitors to #RespectYourPark and be patient. Please check our website for info and advice:

Looks like this Friday when Iain Cameron, Feusag Mòr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I attempt the Mullardoch Round of 12 #Munros, 57km and 5000m ascent... Thanks all for helping us reach our fundraising target for Lomond MRT. And of course, there's still time to donate... uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-dis…

Yesterday at 5am we stood on top of the first of 12 Munros that day. What a treat to have such an incredible sunrise. We would finish our round 16 hours later, having walked36 miles and ascended 16,500 feet. Days don’t come much better, or bigger.

What a weekend - the Rois-bheinn Horseshoe with my friend Fiona Russell and Storm the collie. Three of the most stunning #Corbetts in #Scotland. Check out that for an infinity pool! #OutAndAboutScotland
