Alan Hi Alan, forgot to mention actually...it's only recent that you can walk this route without having to walk on the road.

Glen Finglas Dam/Brig O'Turc

our_route.gpx Lovely afternoon walk. Not enough time for a report, but just about enough to upload a few images. :) Will no doubt add a report on Glen Finglas later on when I have finally had the opportunity to walk the Mell Trail here (13 miles). This time, I just walked up to the Glen Finglas vie...

Re: The Day Time Stood Still on Buachaille Etive Mor

A beautiful and moving report. When we reconnect with the natural world around us, we are focused. Time stands still because we are in the moment. In the present real time. No past, no future. Just the here and now. It's exhilarating and certainly the main reason for most of us to either go into the...

Callander Craigs

The Callander Craigs our_route.gpx It's a beautiful day today, and as I didn't feel like driving anywhere, I decided to walk a well known local walk. I took my camera, but forgot a spare battery! Still enough images to add to this report. I'm lucky enough to be able to walk the entire walk from my h...

Re: New report on ethical and environmentally friendly clothing

Another very interesting (Swedish) outdoor clothing company with a good social & environmental performance.

Has anyone heard about them or their products? Do we have a Scottish equivalent - with the same track record of course :)

Re: New report on ethical and environmentally friendly clothing

Good to see you all becoming involved so passionately :wink: Paramo (among others) is striving to produce ethically and environmentally friendly outdoor clothing. If we can support a company who makes that effort when we make a consumer choice, why wouldn't we? And yes, of course we should be discus...
