So, back in the van after a month or two mostly indoors in yoga training.. I headed back up to Perthshire. The forecast was good and Meall nan Tarmachan was in my sights. This lovely beast sits on the North side of Loch Tay, alongside the Lawers range. Having not been in the van inContinue reading “Meall nan Tarmachan”

Beinn Sgulaird, forever ago
For everyone who’s forgotten who I am since its been ages since my last post… Hi I’m Ashleyđź‘‹, and I’m living in a teeny tiny van while I camp my way around Scotland attempting to tackle munros and find yoga classes (and showers). Anyone who follows my instagram might know I’ve been busy doing yogaContinue reading “Beinn Sgulaird, forever ago”
Ben Challum
I walked this hill back in January. I could tell you that this post is overdue simply because I’ve been busy. But let’s be honest, its at least partially because I’m a little bitter (read: a lot bitter) about this walk. And – it gets worse – I actually changed my plans to walk thisContinue reading “Ben Challum”
Beinn a’Chochuill and Beinn Eunaich
It amazes me every time how bright the moon can be on a clear night. I camped in one of the forestry commission car parks – miles away from any light pollution – and spent a fair amount of time standing outside the van staring at the sky. My phone put up a fair effortContinue reading “Beinn a’Chochuill and Beinn Eunaich”
Beinn Chabhair
The weather forecast for the day after Beinn Tulaichean and Cruach Ă€rdrain was promising yet another sunny summit, clearly it had no consideration for how tired my legs were. But since we had started Tulaichean so early in the morning, we were back by early afternoon which left me plenty of time to get aContinue reading “Beinn Chabhair”
Ben Chonzie
Worst. Hill. Ever. 0/10 would not recommend. Admittedly, I wasn’t really in the mood. Headache and quite tired after hosting in the van for a couple of weeks, and always a bit gutted when a friend has just left. But I thought maybe getting high up would raise my mood. Ben Chonzie is “an easierContinue reading “Ben Chonzie”
Buachaille Etive Beag, Glencoe
Back in December, I met up with Jamie – my new walking partner from the last post – to squeeze an extra couple of munros into the bag before Christmas. Days were pretty short, so we chose Buachaille Etive Beag – a smaller ridge in Glencoe which offers two munros for the conquering. Buachaille EtiveContinue reading “Buachaille Etive Beag, Glencoe”
Geal Charn and A’ Mharconaich, with a new walking buddy
Quite a few people have asked me whether I get lonely in my van. And most of the time I’m not particularly lonely, because I’m occupied with the stuff I’m doing (predominantly chores) and I’m quite happy in my own company. But like anything, living in a van travelling round Scotland has its ups andContinue reading “Geal Charn and A’ Mharconaich, with a new walking buddy”
Three in Kintail
I remember visiting Kintail on a family holiday when I was little, and I’ve been excited to go back. Mum used to say the mountains rise right out of the sea up there. And finally – FINALLY – the weather forecast was looking really exciting. My friend Ali was on his was up for aContinue reading “Three in Kintail”
