Let's play, Guess the Munro.

[MartG]

I would be honoured to do a walk in Scotland with you. Yes.

Haha, I'm working on the last one - must be high with those stones and low grass...

How does Ben Hope work?

I was up there about 20 years ago, can't remember this but figures with the surroundings... was my 'local' hill when I grew up.

Absolutely brilliant. Way out of the beaten path for most, but it is the northern most Munro, so an icon for some of us.

That was a bit lucky... Still aircraft wreckage to be found there. You can see a vast distance of very remote countryside.

I managed to spend 5 weeks hiking and biking in Scotland without going to Cairngorms, so I will be back in July. My favorite place after Glencoe was Glen Affric.

I am in this photo, coming down to Kintail from Glen Affric. We don’t have any photos of the Glen because the weather was too rough to take pictures!

The back of the Five Sisters, down Glen Licht - you've picked the few areas of Scotland that I know well!
My in-laws live near Dornie, which is handy for a keen hillwalker!

It’s worth it to be a little curious about one’s heritage...I grew up in California, but know about my ancestors in Aberdeen back to 1450. You may think genetics are not so important, but...midges don’t bite me. My Spanish friend got slaughtered.

So, anyone?


Had to do screen shot to edit out the name of the peak.

 

[MartG]

Here's some for you...

Although I'm not familiar with the Cairngorms, the aridity leads me to believe these photos are from there, much higher than most of the Munros I know, except for BN. Something of the coloring of the first photo makes me think it's not exactly recent!

Not a Munro - but my favourite mountain.

Our favourite mountain too. So many days spent climbing and scrambling there. The East Face is just a great playground!

 

[subthree]

Can this thread now just transition to general mountain fun?

Top one is me on Liathach in Torridon, 1991, quite an airy scramble with good exposure...
Bottom one is Ben Cruachan, a mountain containing a hydro electric pumped storage power station, summer 1998.

Here's one from the Cairngorms - Driesh & Mayar



and one from Kintail, South Sheil Ridge, with The Saddle in the background -



Any guess as to where this is - clue, it's not far from the pic above...

Not sure about this one, I don't think it's Ben Lui or Buchaille Mor?

Great pics! Loch Shiel from Sgor an Tarmachain?

Quite a bit further north, here’s a view looking the other way:

Hint, you already have half the name of a peak right next door from a previous answer.

Tryfan? Looks beautiful. I haven't even begun to explore Wales, must get busy.

Would half the name be 'Ben' ? !

I'm struggling...

Last one of mine is my brother on Ben Sgritheall above Loch Hourn, looking towards Ladhar Bheinn just out of shot to the right - I would highly recommend it for stunning views, if not an interesting hill.

 

[subthree]

Ok, back in Scotland rather than the Alps. Which route have we just finished here?

I celebrated my 40th birthday on Tryfan. Pass the parcel to a tune played on a mobile phone!

There are quiet parts of Snowdonia - the Rhinogydd and its wild goats, for example. I hope to take Ben up Cadair Idris later this year. Is six too young for such an adventure?

Hahaha, I was thinking of the "More" part!

Yep.

Yep.

That's a great area, I was up Quinag about 30 years back, nobody else about...
