The Crask used to let campers use their gardens and in return those kindly campers would buy a pint or two in the pub, or even book for a meal in their small, cozy, informal and quite fantastic wee restaurant. They used to have set times for dinner and everybody went in to the dining room at the sam...

I took teva sandals which doubled as camp wear for the CWT. I cant stress how good it felt to take my boots off at night and potter around in ma sandals. They also did me to cross rivers although the rivers were low I did need them. Bit of a faff changing but I wasnt in a rush!. They werent lightwei...

I read the book a good while back and before she was to appear on our fiver (she should have been on the ten pound one!). It was a wee bit too poetic for me at times but that isn't meant to be critical of the book. I just skipped those parts! On the whole I really enjoyed it, was inspired by it and ...

Try them on coz comfort is super important. I used my big pack and pulled the straps in for yonks before getting a separate day pack. I got the osprey sirrus 24 litre and it holds everything I need. I carry a 1.8 litre bladder as well. This wouldn’t include winter gear tho . I am however female and ...

I had a look at the site and it says you can pay by debit or credit card?

I downloaded the routes with Viewranger on Walkhighlands here for the CWT (Ullapool to Cape) to my phone and although I altered my route up, I followed most of it with the app. I carried a charger and kept my phone on airplane mode to help with battery and it did me well although the battery charger...

I was told no to the contact lens option unfortunately. Thanks for the retainer suggestion tho!

So after managing with cheap reading glasses for ages, my eyesight was tested again and found to be deteriorating where a prescription is now necessary which is a pain in the purse. I have already lost countless pairs of the cheapo ones and as I wear them on my head they eventually stretch and end u...

And I just thought it was me.

My dogs come with me to many of the Munro's but I wouldn't take them on all due to obvious concerns. I usually read up on the walkhighland reports that have been done by dog owners and see what they say. I have taken mine on all of the Cairngorm ones but I have more than just a few Munros to go and ...

Can I also suggest the Anker brand of chargers. They are reliable, have really good reviews and I have had one now for a few years and it still does what is should. In have a couple now and and use them dependent on how long I am out. I really wouldn't bother with solar.

I am thee most un techie person out and have to say I lost a lot of what was being said when towers were being mentioned and other such stuff. I use Viewranger as I said and I get loads of time out of it even using it heavily on a day on the hill,,,even a couple of days and use my spark anker batter...

Oh you asked me about the rucksack tipping if its uneven and I got a bit well , distracted!!!! The short answer is yes when I first tried it. That was me not packing it properly and I it would quickly slide to one side. Easily adjusted and after realising this I became better skilled at making sure ...

I had to come back on to say I am really really pleased you didn't leave the site after that couple of very ignorant and negative comments. Treat them with the contempt they deserve. I saw a person with bonnie pictures of their dogs who has had probably struggled coping with the death of a dear pet ...

I use Viewranger and can get a good 9 hours out of it with my iphone. I carry an anker battery which will/does/has charged my phone fully from empty at least 3 times. I use the phone to take pics and videos as well so its works really well for me. Yes I have a map and a compass, and I know how to us...
