I got my Patagonia 'Pipedown jacket a couple of years ago half-price from 'The Mountain Factor' wwho often have good deals on their gear. It's the best jacket I've ever bought. It's great for chucking on whenever you stop for more than 5 minutes, brilliant for sleeping in on chilly nights to supplem...

You've got to be commended for bravery for going in there though, wetsuit or not. On the subject of fish in mountain lochs, I r...

Great story and photo's, can't beat bit of nostalgia.
