On a similar subject to the original story. The North Face car park (for the ben) is now charging £3 for parking with no overnight parking for campervans or cars. That might put a few noses out of joint. The North face car park has been a problem for a while with campervanners and campers polluting ...

I'm tempted to turn up with a tent and a big bag of food on the last train and have the place to myself for a week. Then I remember that I could more or less have the place to myself anytime, and that a train escape route might actually be very useful. Hostel is showing fully booked or unavailable ...

Have a look at this.

Loch Morar?

Whatever way you look at it car parking charges are an erosion of access and affects the less wealthy folk the most. As soon as you start charging for car parks there are issues with payment, shortage of coins, no phone reception etc. etc. Twice now I have paid the fee for folk at the Sugarbowl who ...

Well done to Cairngorm MRT and all others who helped find the missing Macaque. It brought some excitement to the area and I was looking for it myself on Monday :D . Had to laugh at an earlier report from the BBC that stated the park sent out a team to confirm that the monkey was the missing Macaque....

It's a few years since I've been to the alps, last time in France I stayed at the Mer de Glace campsite (Chamonix) for a week. They gave us a guest card which meant we could use the free train and bus in the valley throughout our stay. In Chamonix there was a big free parking strip for cars and over...

We hear this a lot, as if Edinburgh is the benchmark for how things should be done :lol: :lol: :lol: ......just because they do it in Edinburgh doesn't make it right, we should know that by now. I've no idea why the mess that Edinburgh and London have created is being used as an excuse to price less...

I use no such formula, there's a wee dookit in my centre console that holds about 20 coins, that's the reason :D . We badly need more infrastructure, aire style setups to assist the pressures in many areas in terms of overnighting, the likes of Ben Lomond needs a much bigger car park too, as do man...

I generally keep a stock of 20 x £1 coins in my car for this purpose. I'm quite happy to pay the fees, really genuinely doesn't bother me, even Succoth at £9, it's still cheaper than my fuel to get there. It seems a strange formula to work out what is an acceptable car park fee. I hope Argyll and B...

This is what people don't get. The SMC are the worst culprits but apparently representing their members wishes by green lighting parking charges across the highlands when there was never any need for them before. :? Please can you change your post. I think you mean Mountaineering Scotland and not t...

If you can't find a lift, I would suggest starting from Shiel Bridge. The Skye bus stops there. The route from Shiel Bridge is described on here. https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fortwilliam/barisdale-morvich.shtml#:~:text=At%2033km%20with%20significant%20ascent,certainly%20be%20a%20welcome%20sight. ...

Some folk have mentioned a "tourist tax" totally against this as accomodation providers increase prices due to seasons, events taking place etc so why pay even more when they are raising more tax for government in the first place. Last year in Dundee a music event took place and prices fo...

I know a lot of people are lovers of the parking charge, don't do anyfing for nufing, don't get anyfing for nufing. :D Good to see the Inverness Courier and Strathy highlighting this. Where will it all end. No need for this nonsense in the highlands! https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/overwhel...

I've often fancied doing the Mullardoch munros and the Affric ones on the other side. I find it surprising the lochside path has such a reputation as there are plenty of paths in the highlands which are or can be unrelenting slogs across bog. Yes, plenty of paths (if you can call it that) like that...
