Re: landslip GR NN 85050 91330 (The red house to Glen Feshie

Hello Mr. Wallace....you invited me to peep into your fine journey as is shown on your Video. :) The rickety wee hut just after the bridge crossing had a bit more wood attached to it when I first passed bye in 1974 ...as I recall I think that it was just the door that was missing then. 1974, yikes!...

Re: Question about tents Scarp1 and Enan

Carbon poles with a solid inner, to cut out drafts. 8) I've never bothered with a footprint tbh.

Re: Question about tents Scarp1 and Enan

No experience of the Enan, but I've got both the Scarp 1 and the Ultra version, the latter is really noisy in high winds due to the strengh of the Ultra TNT material, I would only get the Ultra if you intend on camping in strong winds above 30mph a lot! The regular Scarp is a fine tent and is a capa...

Re: From Fort William to Kinlochleven via Glen Nevis

No need to cross the Mamores! Follow Glen Nevis up over the watershed to Meanach and then an easy track down to Kinlochleven. The upper parts of Glen Nevis and across the watershed don't have much of a path and can be boggy, but there's nothing technically difficult. Could be done in a day, but dep...

Re: New Alcohol Stove Kickstarter

I believe Gary makes his own windshields for Speedster Stoves, whereas Stripey has sourced a company to laser cut the two parts to make up the cone. This comes at a cost, with a kickstarter he can put in a large order. Also, since Norman sadly passed away I do not believe anyone in the UK makes a co...

New Alcohol Stove Kickstarter

Hi folks, some of you may be aware of Stripey Hat Guy on YouTube? He’s designed a new alcohol stove, similar to the late Stormin Norman’s set up. I know he has spent a lot of time, in designing this and sourcing a company to laser cut the cones. He’s set up a Kickstarter, which goes live soon and yo...

Re: Recommendation for app that matches location to hike rou

If you simply want a route to follow, then the Walkhighlands app is excellent. If you want something a bit more advanced with tracking etc, then I'm getting on really well with the Hiiker app. 8) The Pro+ plan is a bit expensive at circa £40 a year. OS Maps app was my second favourite, I didn't get ...

Thanks 👍🏻


It’s definitely doable, as for a path? From memory, not the whole way around.

Re: Your favourite golden eagle encounters

For me they are are the ultimate Highland species I concur, and ironically my favourite/best goldie sighting was near A'Mhaighdean. We were traversing the rarely frequented ridge of Beinn Tharsuinn Chaol when I startled a goldie a mere 5-10 metres away. Watched it fly away towards Beinn lair. Later...
