Welcome to don't-give-a-toss UK. There is a subset of society that believe anything goes if they can get away with it, and unfortunately they frequently do. Well, when the so called "leaders" (and I cannot stress how reservedly I use that word) at the very top of "don't give a toss U...

I used various reincarnations of Scarpa SLs from the mid-80s to the mid-00s but the later versions are too big, heavy and stiff so I reluctantly changed to Meindl.

There's no doubting their performance on heavier terrain but they're nowhere near the multifunction boot that they used to be.

Crikey! I'd never have guessed that Bleaklow was the most easterly 2000 footer on the mainland.

Some great photos there.

What a magnificent read. Superb!

Great stuff. However I'd be absolutely gutted if, after walking 550 miles, I'd only lost 6Ibs

I spotted the movie My Son on Prime Video last night and decided it was worth a watch. It's set in the Argyll\Skye area so there's some excellent scenery on show. During the movie the plot moves into an abandoned old lodge which I soon realised was the Mamore Lodge where I stayed during my first WHW...

I was diagnosed as hyperthyroid last year after experiencing shaking limbs, palpitations, sweating and weight loss. I started taking Carbimazole and am now hypothyroid so I assume that the GP and consultant are trying to get the medication levels right over time. The weight loss started after a week...

Really enjoyed that. Well done!

Ouch well, your experience is the sum of your near misses, so well done. Only thing I’d say is my (multiple) experiences of the Aonach Eagach, in all conditions, is the the rock is pretty good and not greasy so I wonder if yo need to review your footwear? You don’t mention what you wee wearing but ...

There's nothing better than the instant widescreen view you get when the clouds clear.

I'm assuming the route detail you've shown is incorrect as you missed Sgurr Fiona and walked onto an outlying summit.

A great report but the summit light show could quite easily have resulted in a call to Mountain Rescue and a lot of wasted time.

Thanks all.

Ah yes, the rhododendrons, I remember them. A last minute sting in the tail.

It's now over 20 years since I last walked over An Teallach and on this occasion we walked clockwise over Corrag Bhuidhe, Sgurr Fiona and then over Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill. We descended into Glas Tholl where we were surprised by the magnificent and relatively hidden cliffs that flank the western side...

Often I wonder what the old Highlanders did to keep the midges ,ticks and clegs at bay I often wonder what anyone who lives in western Scotland does to keep the midges at bay. It must be great having a place on the coast or next to a loch with great views but are you able to sit out between June an...
