The 'Mecca' of Scottish bouldering according to some is located in Strathnairn near the village of Farr. Following the easy to use topo available on the web, myself and Kenny headed out on another glorious evening after work. Due to me being a wuss I didn't climb above V0, but still had a great time and still worth going to (especially the Bog Jungle area) even if you don't climb that hard. Some of the routes were a bit dirty (mostly the easier ones) and there seemed to be loads more problems lurking under the moss and lichen.

Torridon Bouldering
An easy day today and I got distracted from Marilyn bagging by the superb bouldering
near the youth hostel in Torridon village. I was a bit sceptical about the quality so didn't bother with buying the local guide, but next tiem I am there I will. Still, there is lots to go at at all grades and the only drawback is the slightly boggy ground. Wear wellies!
