Hi folks, my name is Cem. I live in Switzerland where we have *real* mountains ;)
I have accidentally come across Scotland a few years ago and have fallen in love with this lovely country.
I love hiking and wild camping; fan of ultra light gear, making video games and other sports.
This year I will attempt part of the CWT :)

Greetings, as you are from Swaziland you may find our little mountains peculiar. They are small and quaint compared to the Alps but can be dangerous too. Our country is more disorganised and shabby but has a certain charm, especially in the west highlands where the hills are beside the sea, with islands and fjords (we call them sea-lochs). The ancient history is everywhere, be careful not to trip over it. :D

Thanks for the warm welcome ! One precision though; it's Switzerland the land of the cheese but more known for the banks not Swaziland as you wrote :lol:
