Re: Dogs fouling on pathways

I recently started working at a nature reserve and we've come across an interesting dilemma. On one hand, if someone is not going to be prepared to pick up the dog's mess and put it in a bin (as there are none around) then that is of course irritating (and even potentially dangerous). Despite this, ...

Re: Around the top of the Manor Valley

I too was blown away by Deer Law's cairn! A human construction do you think?

Re: The Highest Point in Inverclyde, Creuch Hill

Nice work and some marvellous shots! I too am on a Scottish council tops mission and am really not far off now. Creuch Hill was a great little hill (and was my local top) - fortunately the track I used was still there when I went up - but it was a hell of a slog from Hill of Stake.

Re: Kaim Hill - a hidden gem

Lovely! I've been meaning to do Kaim Hill for a while now. Fairlie Glen itself has some wonderful waterfalls too that I noticed when going up Blaeloch Hill.

Re: Glass half full - Beinn Ìme NE Ridge from Inveruglas

Really good to see this. I finally climbed Ben Vane for the first time in November last year and coming back through Gleann Uaine the next day was unbelievable. The sun's rays were shining right between the two largest towers like something out of a film. I got home and couldn't believe how little i...

Re: Everest Trek 1998

Fascinating stuff Sgurr! A lot of drama crammed in as usual it seems, even back then, and nice to see film photos in the forum :) Always blown away by the wonderful contrast between the brown sunniness of the 'glens' vs the petrifying blue, black and white of the summits in photos of that area.

Re: Frozen at the Stake

Lovely stuff! Never envisioned a return to Hill of Stake for you both so soon :lol: - not a common wildcamp venue but christ it looks chilly! We were up Irish Law quite late on that day - I think we'll be half a pixel somewhere in that 3rd photo. Couldn't believe how packed the car parks were but ca...

Re: Threading the Needle - inc. video

I've watched hunners of these videos and that one is by far the best! Braver than me doing it in the snow though!

Re: Liathach - Traversing Before You Can Walk

A really interesting report this. Liathach was my 2nd & 3rd Munros and, despite an encyclopaedia of fear-inducing reports in my head, I found it to be the easiest Grade 2 scramble I've done - I barely paused for thought the entire traverse despite being a very inexperienced scrambler. I think pa...

Re: Culter Fell

You didn't hear any chainsaws over at Turkey Hill to the NW did you? We were on a chainsaw course just a few hundred m away!

Re: ButterBridge route up Beinn Ime

Did one of you happen to have a red jacket on? We saw two walkers walking down Glen Kinglas while leaving Abyssinia this morning - thought that they were much earlier birds than us! A tough-looking route!

Re: Culling the North East Subs

Enormous congrats on the Upper Hall WM! Watching that sub-2k tally on your account in the past few months has been eye-watering :lol: Most easterly mainland Scottish marilyn a decent title for 1000 in my book - not a part of the country I'm frequented with whatsoever!

Re: The Magnificent Lawers Seven!

An excellent effort folks, especially with 3 (4) of you! I think if you've got a car at either end then doing this route NW-SE is definitely the most sensible option. My 'taps aff' version in mid August nearly killed me; looked like you all breezed though :lol:

Re: Falls of Clyde demonstrates the 'Power of Nature'!

It's a wonderful place down there - New Lanark in particular. I'm almost certain your purple toadstools are Amethyst Deceiver (my favourite funghi despite never having seen it in person!) but would be guessing at the other two - possibly a Fly Agaric and a young bracket fungus? Good to escape from t...
