Well, I had better explain the double joke... ok there's the obvious one, then there's the musical joke that some fiddle players may get... there's a very well known fiddle tune by 1800s Aberdeenshire fiddler James Scott Skinner, called 'Back to the Hills'..... I may add video of me playing it somet...

Hi, I’ve been given this gorgeous jacket but it’s too big. It hasn’t even been worn. I already have an Andina and they are wonderful. It’s turquoise and grey. Thought I’d see if anyone here wants it before trying elsewhere. I’ll stick a link here to the Paramo website for info. Happy to post, or col...

Oooh, some gorgeous photos there! And thanks for using the word TRIUMVIRATE - brilliant!

Super photos - looks great - it's going on my wish list!

Great report! Was looking at this route last weekend as well and decided on Beinn Bhan instead. Interesting to hear that the bogs are still very present in spite of the dry spell lately. Sounds as if the route requires good timing :-) Had to look up Beinn Bhan - that looks fabulous! Yes I was surpr...

I was off for a while in the school holidays, and the weather was good. My mini needed a run, and I fancied doing these Corbetts as they are close to home. Why not combine these two requirements and take the mini down Strathconon? Her name is 'Tiny' and she's 40. I've had her about 14 years and she ...

The last day of August was glorious. I'd seen it coming and rearranged my week so I could do these hills and still be home in time to teach my music lessons in the evening. Slept downstairs for a totally peaceful sleep, uninterrupted by snoring, and set off from Beauly at 8am. By 9am I was parked up...

:D :D :D :D :D Husband climbed Fuar Tholl in much the same state. We had been staying at a hotel which seemed to be on the down. There was a totally frosty feeling between husband and wife, probably due to the fact that the computer was open at some gambling page and possibly he had been unsuccessf...

Every September, I like to go to the Lake District and climb some Wainwrights. Last time it was the Langale Pikes; this time I wanted to tackle Helvellyn. My husband wasn't too happy about me trotting off over a precarious ridge, but I was determined. I hadn't planned it for this day, as we had only...

Here is a nice summery walk report to help remember what's ahead of us in a few months.... A fine forecast in August, and my walking pal Amy asked if I fancied Fuar Tholl. As it was planned for Tuesday, and I had the day off, I agreed, and got my stuff ready the night before. I had wanted to do this...

Gardening... and smaller walks, and yoga. Luckily for me about an hour from Glen Affric, Torridon and the Cairngorms so manage some pretty decent walks quite often, even if they aren't all mountains! Most of my walks are low level, because of a lack of time, and also a husband who has a fear of heig...

We did this walk last spring, and as we had loved it so much we chose a beautiful winter day in the Christmas holidays to return. Trevor isn't crazy about hills like I am, but absolutely loves this walk, with its amazing views, which can be enjoyed while staying at ground level! The solitude and the...

I'm also not keen on climbing hills if it isn't fine weather, as I take loads of photos, and being soaked and battered and getting no view isn't my idea of fun, so pick a good day - it's worth waiting for! I'm the same, but at the same time climbing hills in foul weather is what brings experience a...

My first hill was Ben Nevis, 20 years ago- I didn't know what it was, I just woke up in the tent at the bottom (Glen Nevis campsite) and watched the tiny people coming down this amazing looking hill, and said 'I HAVE TO DO THAT!' I did it the next day and was lucky, with a superb view. I was living ...

Echoing others here- Altbergs are so much better than Berghaus/Brasher these days. Made in Yorkshire, and also you can send them back to be re-soled. I adore mine. They have a huge range of different widths and several models to choose from. Mine are three years old and still a long way from needing...
