1. Ben Lomand *tourist* (route)
   You can start this somewhat easy route from the car park at the very end of the road. Follow the path through the forest and up onto the ridge. Simply follow this *ridge* to the summit. Come back down they way you came or venture down the Ptarmigan route provided you have the experience. This is a wonderful route in the snow for those who have the required experience.
2. Beinn a' Ghlo (route)
   For those without a car, it's possible to bag three Munros in one long walk from Blair Atholl station (a convenient halt on the Caledonian Sleeper). Walk from the station over the River Tilt, drop down to the footpath by the river, rejoining at the Old Bridge of Tilt, then follow the road up until it peeters out into a track just after Loch Moraig. After another mile or so bear left at the small wooden hut to gain the path running up the side of Carn Liath. This zig zag paths brings you out on to the top in no time, with excellent views across to Schiehallion (amongst numerous other mountains). Then take follow the ridge down NW, NE, NW, then up E, N on to Braigh Coire Chruan-bhalgain. Keep high on the ridge E then NE until dropping down to the col. From there, look to gain the low point between Airgiod Bheinn and Carn nan Gabhar, then finally up on to the ridge to the NE summit; highest point is the final cairn. Retrace steps to the col at 847m and drop down to the SW following the burn. Pick up the eroded path that skirts Beinn Bheag, and finally drops you out on to the track leading back to the wooden hut. Retrace your steps to Blair Atholl station.
3. Ben Cruchan circular ridge walk (route)
   Starting at the Crunachy Camping Site which is by the spar petrol station. The route goes along the "Pass of Brander" until you are next to the power station on Loch Awe. Then head up the path towards the reservoir where you can camp on the other side. Next day head up to "Meall Cuanail (918m)" then back down the same route to the saddle and then up the slabs to "Corie Chat (1104m)" then along the ridge to the summit of "Ben Cruachan (1126m)" (31st highest peak in Scotland) then along the ridge to Stob Garbh (980m). Then down the valley and up the other sid eto Beinn a Bhuiridh (897m). Then down to the reservoir and follow the track back to the road near reservoir and then follow original track back down of the mountain to the campsite
4. Ben Cruachan scramble over four Munros (route)
   Begin at the Brander Lodge Hotel on the A85 about 2 miles east of Taynuilt. First the fiddly bit: Walk to the end of the hotel driveway, turn left and walk 50yds west down the A85 until you can cross the railway. Then walk back east to and through the sheepfold. At the far east corner turn north and walk steeply uphill, making for the gap in the top fence. One the other side follow the fence left, ascending to the col that overlooks the hotel. Now the hard bit: Turn right and walk north-east directly up the mountain. It's pretty steep, especially at the start. Follow the gentle rightward curve of the nearest valley to your left, so you are walking about due east by the time you reach the cairns at Meall nam Measagh (785m), more than a mile away. Now the walk becomes a scamble up to the first summit, Stob Dearg (1104m), north-north-east of the cairns and half a mile away. Your reward is the first of many truly spectacular views to both the north and south (brevity forbids description here). Follow the ridge east, reaching the summit of Ben Cruachan (1126m, and the highest point for many miles) after half a mile. Now, either bail out early by descending to the south and following the path down to the Cruachan reservoir, or keep following the ridge to the east, reaching another munro (Stob Diamh, 998m) after nearly two miles of intense scrambling. It still isn't over! Head east-north-east for half a mile to Stob an Isean (964m), then descend carefully north-east to the saddle at Lairig Noe (564m). Once again, you can either call it a day by descending to the east and dropping to the path down to Castles farm, or climb very steeply north-north-east to Beinn a'Chochuill (980m, and another munro), just over half a mile away. The fourth and final munro of the Cruachan group, Beinn Eunaich (989m), is now a two-mile ridge-scramble away to the east. From there, follow the south ridge for a mile and a half to Stob Maul (450m). Descend carefully due south for three-quarters of a mile to Castles farm (70m). Join the B8077 and walk south-west to meet the A85. Lochawe village is another mile to the south-west. Return along the A85. You can order a taxi from the Lochawe Hotel above the village, which is much closer than the public callbox St Conan's Kirk.
5. The lost world of Loch Avon (route)
   A walk over Cairngorm to the hidden gem of Loch Avon, a lush green and tranquil spot tucked 200ft beneath the high plateau. Walk out is via Bynack Mor. Note Loch Avon is an awkward place to get out from if the weather turns.
6. The Buachaille (popular route) (route)
   This is the popular route over the Buachaille. It involves a short scramble to attain the ridge. A bus stops at the Kingshouse hotel, from where the route can be extended
7. Knoydart Munros (route)
   This walk is best done as a two day backpack, but might squeeze into one very long day. There are several small steps but no real scrambling.
8. Bens Oss, Lui and Dhubhcraig (route)
   A circuit of the three peaks around the River Cononish from Tyndrum
9. Peak Baggers (interest group)
   Devoted to the ascent of peaks of every type throughout the country
10. Beinn a' Ghlo (route)
    A strenuous 7-8 hour walk taking in the 3 Munro summits of Beinn a' Ghlo, a few miles to the NE of Blair Atholl. You can park at the end of the public minor road, then walk along the track until you reach a hut on the left. From here, the path goes off to the left, and can be clearly seen as a scar leading up the steep face of Carn Liath to its summit. The path is well-defined as it follows the ridge to the next summit, Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain. From here, descend to the bealach (col) and ascend leftwards to the summit ridge of Carn nan Gabhar. The highest point is about 200m beyond the trig point. Return by initially retracing your steps, optionally taking in the 'top' of Airgiod Bheinn. At the bealach, take the path to the left, following the stream. The path is indistinct in places, but after about 1km a clear path forms to the right of the stream. Follow this around the flank of Beinn Bheag, back to the main track along the glen.
