Hello, The hooves & hinges aren't what they used to be so I'm seriously trying to cut back on what I carry on multi-day walks. Has anyone done the Cape Wrath trail and has an opinion on things not to skimp on. Tent, sleeping bag, stove, etc. e.g. don't go for a single skin tent, 'cause the midge...

I wanted to finish this summer with a big outing. Sat/Sun weather looked rubbish and my mountain biking pal bailed for Friday. The weather was looking very tasty so I I made a late day decision to take the day off work. Having had a great week up in the Fannichs and An Teallach I was feeling a bit g...

thanks in advance

Murder hornets, really, is that it...?

The wind died at about 8pm and we had to abandon all hope and drove back to Glasgow. Glencoe/GlenEtive seem to be midge-tastic. I w...

I've just done my 2nd munro on a mtn bike (Carn na Caim + Mt Keen) and am heading down the rabbit hole. Looking for some suggestions on sane munros to bike. I don't mind some pushing/carrying, but things like the Tower Ridge are out. Mostly because I hate walking down, and skiing conditions are rubb...

Ah, just figured out the problem. North Face no longer make the Hedgehog GTX. Bloody typical, knew I should have bought 3 pairs...

I'm on my 3rd set of North Face Hedgehogs. Quick simply the best walking shoe I've every had. That said I've not got this year's model and the reviews are scary. https://www.thenorthface.co.uk/shop/en-gb/tnf-gb/mens-hedgehog-fastpack-ii-waterproof-shoes-46am?variationId=BQW Have North Face once more...

Has anyone done the Creag Meagaidh group and tacked on Bheinn Teallach and Bheinn a' Choarainn, just looking for general advice on W->E/E->W, water availability, camping options (I think I need a 2 day-er), getting from the start to finish (probably st...
