Re: Moorfoot hills advice

Just done the Blackhope scar loop last week. The only bit you will struggle with the dog is the mentioned bard wire fence at the top of the first steep climb. But Jesus Christ I've walk in a lot of bogs but this was something else constant bogs. It was that bad that one of my meindl bhutans was a bi...

Re: Hiking Eateries

The Black Bull Inn Moffat . Was there last week had the ribs and they were amazing. Didn't need to pick them up just used my knife and fork as the meat just fell off them and there was loads. Also very dog friendly Jax had some very nice sausages (I tried a bit while cutting them up )

Re: Dog harness

I got a cheap puppy one from Pets At Home that he managed to rip the leash hook clean off it :( . So got a Ruffwear Front Range Harness from Mountain Dog in the Christmas sales and it's really good.

Re: Dugland via windy standard

Done this a few months ago in the best possible conditions. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face because of the clag so couldn't see the turbines :D

Re: Zamberlan rand crack

The same happened to my Zamberlan ultra lites after six months. Sent them back to the online shop and they sent them back to Zamberlan and got a refund. Definitely stick with it and try and get them warranted.

Re: Katadyn BeFree water filter

I steep my filter now and again in distilled white vinegar in a wine glass for 30mins. You can notice the difference after it does the job nicely.

Donalds Bagging

Hi iam looking at taking on completing the Donalds. Just noticed I've done 30 of them after the Culter Fell loop the other day. My question is what's your thoughts on just the 89 Donalds vs also including the 51 tops as well? Has anyone done them and what way did you do it? Looking at what I've done...

Reusable Pouches For Dehydrated Meals ?

With the prices of dehydrated meals going up iam looking at cheaper options. I will still buy the likes of summit to eat ones but not all the time to save some cash. I was on a camp last night and took some beef jerky and soba noodles ( like pot noodles but better) and was pretty good mixing both to...

Re: 3 season sleeping bag/quilt?

Can vouch for the Cumulus 350 quilt. I have one and it's been great. Only got it in September so not used it in warm weather yet bit don't see that being a problem as you can just push it to the side a bit to cool down if to hot. Just back from a camp in the Galloway's last night were it got down to...
