Hi Guys, Been a while since I have been on here and it looks great with lots of information, I'm looking to do a weekend in Torridon but I am struggling to get any accommodation. Can anyone recommend any campsite's nearby. Must be a pub within close walking distance :D Any info given would be apprec...

Has there ever been a better placed pub.

Had a couple of cider shandies here after finishing the route. Needed two as the first one didn't hit the sides.

Great report and what a day you got.

Hi guys, Thamks for all the advice. I eventually went for a pair of merrells, and had to order a size bigger. Fit is excellent. Un-fortunately they did not arrive in time. Maggies was done in an old pair of Merrelles and a pair of Karrimor lightweight boots. Again I ended up with bad blisters so now...

Hi Scott, Its worth looking at walking poles. Bit of a macho thing not to use them but they do take the strain as they say. Its a good idea to practise with them as well so that you are used to them, practise with hand in / out of the loops. I have sticky tape below the hand grips so that I can use ...

Turning to this forum again for some advice. I am looking to get a pair of trail shoes but I am unsure which ones to go for. I have always worn boot on the hill and have usually tried to persuade others to do the same, depending on the terrain and the amount of ankle support they require. So why you...

Hi, Like you I reached a crossroads in my walking world and had to decide on waterproofs for my hill walking. I have been walking for years and started of with a Berghaus jacket that had the fleece, quilt as pert of the jacket. It served me well for a number of years but was not ideal when my walkin...

Hi MC, Thanks for the quick response. looking to bag a few popular tops / routes. So looking to locate centrally. Keen to do Striding Edge, Great Gable etc. Not really done the lakes - not so easy to get to from Lewis. Have had a quick look at youth hostels & camping barns, as you know there is ...

Some stunning pics here guys..

Wonder how much people spent on cameras to get these shots. Countryfile ran a comp with the winninh pic of the sheep"going home" taken with a sub £100 digital camers.

Here's one of my favourites

What an opportunity this site provides for networking. Looking to pick peoples brains to find accommodation in the Lakes for three days walking at the end of Oct. Looking at youth hostel / bunkhouse accommodation that would have easy access (walking distance) to a pub for scoff and craic of an eveni...

Thank you Gythral.

I will get to have a proper look later.

Thanks for the prompt reply and the excellent sites.

Good day to all you good people on this fine web site. I am looking for any hints / tips on how to deciper weather / synoptic charts. Does anyone know any good books or web sites for this. Basically I'm looking for understanding weather charts for "dummies". All help greatly appreciated as...

Hi Mountainstar. Sorry to read about your ankle, it would have put a bit of a dampner on your trip. One consolation, if there are any is that it happened there and not on the way out to the bothy. That's as remote as it gets out there. Took a group of young people out there a number of years ago on ...

Like most I shied away from using pole(s) for walking but, after twisting my knee on a downhill bit I was offered a couple of poles to help me of the hill. They were a blessing. I went straight out and got a set. As mentioned elsewhere you need to be careful when scrambling esp going downhill taking...

Hi, Thanks for all the info. I'm of to study maps and times. Settled on and booked into the campsite next to Sheil Shop. Water and showers what more do you need. Can't believe you have midges over there already !! I will pack the avon just in case. Whats the snow like on the top's? If the weather is...

Hi Mountain Coward, I live in Lewis, its true what they say "you don't appreciate what you have on your doorstep". I did this horseshoe recently, and like you ended up walking for most of the day in a typical Hebridean mist. We were subjected to fantastic views at various times of the day ...
