I have Altberg boots and they are brill. Did have a pair of Burma Meindl boots before that and although very comfortable they worn out very fast 18 months! The Altberg do not even look like I have ever worn them and are 3 years old. If you go to the shop they are cheaper and they give you loads of h...

I known someone who was bitten by an adder and developed cellulitis. He nearly lost his leg and will never be the same agian it was horrible.

Just back form a trip to St Kilda. Expected to see Gannets Great Skuas etc. but this guy was a surprised at about 500ft up Mulloch Mor. I can only think it is a Golden Plover but would be glad if any one knows better as that seems so unlikely..

Whay not do the Skye Trail. You can get a bus from Fort William to Portree and then on the start of the walk. Wild camping on the Trotternish ridge is fab and you could add walking from Broadford to Kylerhea and catching the ferry over to Glenelg then walk on to Sheil Bridge to catch the bus back to...

Nice one caberfeidh best laugh I have had in a while.

You could go down the Glen Etive road from the top of Glencoe lots of nice stops to wild camp and not to far to the pub. I do not camp at the back of the Kingshouse any more since some unpleasant merry individual peed on my tent.

YRhug is all to tempting everyday of the week. Yes a full circuit of the Berwyns is the way to go but it is a long walk. My husband did it a few weeks ago with a friends. From Cynwyd around the tops and back is 18 which is a bit far for a tortoise. i do it over two days and camp on the top.

Cadair Bronwen is near enough my bakc garden, Cadair Berwyn is better to be fair.

Yes looked at the Skoda Yeti but the 4x4 ones had a 8 months waiting time.

I had a 56 plate Freelander one of the last old model. TD4 and all. I loved it and I mean loved it, it was great to drive and stuck to the road like glue. I live in the mountain of North Wales and we have had some bad weather lately of Scottish proportions and it performed brill. However, every time...

Great pics you really do get the bets ones. I got a corncrake on Skye last year but I only managed a photo of its bum and everyone laughs when I say it is a corncrake. What do you use to get such fab wildlife pics KInley?

Hi there I have left my car in Fort William many times. There is a long stay car park behind Morrisons. If fact there are two make sure you park in the one which does not have the market in in it if you are away on those days. It is not expensive and i have never in 25 years ever had a problem leavi...

I have done the WHW wild camping with everything in a Osprey Kestrel 48 it worked very well.

One of my favourites walk. Best done after a dry spell. Which of cause is very tricky to get with 3 reservoirs in the area. There not there for no good reason.

No prob the one thing you get is being alone. I would try and go off out of the main season if you can may be September. if you are planning on using Bunk houses hotels Yha or B&B book in advance or you may be under the stars, which is very nice. Not so good for wildcamping when busy either.
