Yeah there are the walkhighlands routes, which are often good.
Yup check the maps and pick your own route.
But also the 'walk reports' (best accessed through the hill lists I think) that throw up a wide variety of routes that the sites users have chosen.
Lots of info on the forum to, and articles on gear and winter walking etc.
Yup the travelling. I nearly always walk solo. Loads of folks keep telling me how dodgy that is, but I keep pointing out the most dangerous bit is getting there and back, ie the driving. Aye in winter that means in the dark, and sometimes wee surprises.
Times? They are usually about right for me on that site, mainly cos I'm taking photos all over the shop, plus I like to hang about on summits if it's a nice day. But yeah, if you are fit and keep moving you can waste those times. Cameron McNeish's times are probably a better guide for those pressing on.
Anyway I'm just dreaming of getting back to it. At the moment I dunno when, I'm just hoping I will be able to.
