Re: Those blue remembered hills - South Shropshire Walks

I'd have liked some fruit cake and a brew as well but I suppose four chocolate minirolls was more than adequate, hehe :wink:
It was a cracking day and should you ever get the chance I'd recommend the area.

Re: Yr Aran - Carry on up the Khyber!

Hi Malky, thanks for identifying that peak for me and yes it was a complete belter of a day. Still grinning now :D :D :D :D I only realised a couple of days out that the weather was looking good and when it stayed persistently good I had to head out. So happy I did. :-P Chris, we've had a couple of ...

Yr Aran - Carry on up the Khyber!

Yr-Aran-via-Watkins-Path (1).gpx For months we had planned a get together with Twitter friends to spend the weekend walking in Shropshire and Snowdonia last weekend. As the weekend drew nearer the weather forecast predicted increased doom. There had been snow, thaw and more snow topped off with a f...

Re: Bog Snorkelling on the Glyders

Well that was timely Malky as I plan to add some more over the coming weeks. Just haven't had the time to walk as much as I'd like or write up reports. I thought the bogs and peat hags were bad enough on the Hirtenau and lesser Arans but that really did take the biscuit. I hate walking with poles an...

Re: Bog Snorkelling on the Glyders

Just skimmed the report - I'll be back to read it properly shortly. To get photos from Picasaweb into Walkhighlands can be a bit awkward - I struggled at first. When you have the individual photo up on the screen in Picasaweb, you should get the following screen wth the menu on the right: ............

Re: Bog Snorkelling on the Glyders

Hi Chris! So sorry not to oblige with a bogfast photo. Think it couldn't have been further removed from poor Fiona's mind! Ok, at least I didn't have a 5km walk in snow, rats that must have been very cold indeed! It was a fantastic walk - we have done others but just not had time/inclination to writ...

Re: Bog Snorkelling on the Glyders

It's been a long, long time since the last post and it took a while to get this one off the ground too, however having mastered the art of bog extrapolation, here it is! :crazy:

Bog Snorkelling on the Glyders

It's been a long time since I've been up a hill. More than four months in fact. It hasn't been for lacking of trying or will, things just haven't stacked up in our favour this year. Aborted missions, lack of resource and time as well as a discernible drop in confidence have all featured in the mix. ...

Re: Gear review - warmer baselayers

Fantastic review as ever! Hope you don't mind me saying that the adverts within the review are slightly off putting and make the page look quite cheap.. not sure how else to describe it. I know there's a need to maximise profitability but the ads just look wrong. On a positive note, I love all the n...

Re: Moel Siabod - first mountain in seven months

Great stuff Smirnie, welcome back to the hills - you seem to have picked an absolute stunner of a day for your return, you certainly got some lovely photos too. Don't worry too much about Neasmith (I used to think the bloke had a motorbike :lol: ) then after a few months I started making the times ...

Re: Hi_Tec Enviro Boots and Nordisk Backpack for Sale

Still up for grabs - I'm thinking I may have been a spot optimistic on price but that's because neither of the items have been used. If anyone's interested in either item, drop me a line with a price you have in mind :)
