you realise the line re-opens on the 25th March?

That was certainly worth your early start to drive up. What a day you got with the silver lining being that the usually boggy bits were frozen solid. I really like your fifth photo just before the first summit. :thumbup: cheers Dogplodder. :D Aye, always a positive when the usual bog mentioned in t...

Did any of the walkers have an orange rab on by any chance? Swear I saw someone shooting from an ice axe off the first summit

No comment...

3am alarms for anything in life are always a struggle. Work definitely, holidays and days on the hills slightly bearable. But today, this was not for any type of day in the hills. The forecast from MWIS and every other weather outlet was pointing towards one prediction. Blue skies, inversions and tr...

Met Office Mountain Weather is the most negative of them all. It could be wall to wall sunshine and they'd still show clouds. No time for that negativity in my life :lol: As has been said above, MWIS for a general feel for the area you're looking at and Mountain Forecast for specific hills (or at le...

You'll no doubt be glad to see its now up and running. Accuracy is debatable. Considering their website recommends a product for keeping midges at bay, you'd think they'd be exaggerating the forecast, not downplaying it. But aye, accuracy is very debatable. Must be sitting next to a fan, indoors.

They were out in force on Saturday night at Traigh beach near Arisaig.

On a side note, a forecast for midges? Do people base their plans around this?

There isn't a right to park on private land. As I said, happy to make a contribution by paying for a service, was more looking for info on whether or not anybody had had bother for leaving the car there all day. Not really fussed about the fuel price either. I know some folk in the highlands who ra...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D Thanks Shughino for your call confirming it's my GPS. So kind of you to go to such lengths to return it, it restores my faith in humanity. As a small token of our gratitude I'll make donations to Walkhighlands, Scottish Mountain Rescue and John Muir. Hope to see you on the Hill...

Unfortunately not, Punkywull.

Found the above on a munro recently. Feel free to contact me if yours and let me know where you think you've lost it and what you've been up to lately (as per recent routes on the Garmin).

Spoke to Donald (dram) who has lost his up near Lochaber. Unfortunately not his.

Come off it... Travelling from West Lothian where cases have been sky high to do Tinto (literally busier than most high streets now) is not comparable to travelling from Thurso to do, e.g. Fraochaidh. Ahh, referencing an unpopular hill in your example to justify allowing a c380 mile round trip. Mr ...

One of the things about not travelling outside your local authority area is the size of these areas for example Highland area which stretches from Glencoe to Durness/John O'Groats is close to 200 miles,going by government restrictions i could travel anywhere along this road for excercise as am not ...
