Social distancing is 100% over in Glasgow. Walked the dog in Kelvin Park. Thousands of people. Hoaching. Large groups. Huge groups. Intermingling groups. It's the busiest & most densely packed I've ever seen it. I guess this is what happens when you "slightly" reduce the lockdown meas...

Something so simple yet something I keep find failing more often than not with it coming loose eventually. Tried a variety and every single one every single time they loosen off after a short while. Any recommendations? Black in colour so i can use it for golf, hiking and work and don't mind spendin...

This time last year I was making my plans to do the West Highland Way. Had dates arranged, accommodation looked at, baggage transfers sorted etc. Then late last summer we found out we were rather unexpectedly having a baby so everything was put on the back burner... Still want to do the walk but I k...

Are you intending carrying it far? All the Outwell ones I can see are pretty heavy. I use a Thermarest Trail-Lite 3/4 length that's about 10 years old. Only about 20mm thick but very warm & comfy. I think it weighs about 600-700g from memory. Nah, furthest i'll be carry it is from the attic to ...

Morning all Anyone have any experience with self inflating mattresses? Wasn't really aware of them until reading a review on a camping blog and i'm pretty much sold on how comfortable they're meant to be. However not sure if i should go for the 10cm or 7.5cm? The 7.5cm is cheaper (by alot - found a ...

Thanks for the suggestions all. Opted for the course ran by Lake District National Park. Will take in a couple of nights camping while i'm down there.

Hi guys

Any recommendations for map reading course for a complete beginner? Tried Mountaineering Scotland but they're fully booked. Within a 2hr drive from Edinburgh if poss but happy to travel further. (Did try searching but wasn't bringing much back).

Thanks

There's gear snobs and (wannabe) elitists in every hobby, i play a bit golf and do some cycling too and its the exact same. If you can afford top of the range stuff then great, bash on but don't knock others who can't. I spend what I can afford or justify. I usually only venture out late spring, sum...

Check-out Decathlon, they'll have something that fits your budget. I've gotten my road-bike from Decathlon (£330) and can't fault the quality at all - if their mountain bikes are build the same way you'll be laughing. Also try Evan Cycles sales. Got myself a hardtail Trek 3700D 2-3 years ago. Got £1...

Thanks for the heads-up. Done a google search for the Edinburgh one and its at Tiso just a few minutes along the road - barry! :clap: For anyone interested here's a full list of dates, places and contact numbers > mcofs (dot) org (dot) uk/winterlectureseries.asp (Apologies for the broken link - appe...

Thanks for the replies and suggestions guys.

Haglofs and Fjallraven are a little out my price range (However can vouch for the quality of both).

Go Outdoors seem to have a good discount on the Rab trousers so i'll check them out.

Howdy all, I'm around 6ft 1" and usually wear a 32 or 33" trouser. Also have size 12 feet which has resulted in some bulky footwear! Been having difficulty sourcing some longer length walking trousers, with a hem wide enough to comfortably get over the ankle of the aforementioned boot. Any...

I just think that generally there are some very unconfident drivers out there - it was on the radio earlier in the week that 10% of motorists avoid motorways altogether because they aren't confident enough to drive on them :shock: That and the fact that drivers in Edinburgh come to almost a complet...
