Hi Campbell and welcome. Another lucky bugger who actually lives in Scotland and doesn't have to do the long traipse from England!;-) I have a motorbike too but don't ride much nowadays - mainly due to the awful weather most of the time. Sorry to hear about your accident though and glad to hear you're getting out and about again into your superb hills.

my impressive walking count consists of lots of easy mountains - still got most of the hard stuff to come. And yes, the Lakes are great - I'm off there tomorrow until Thursday - Coniston area - trying to get fit for Glen Spean mid Feb.

Coniston is great enjoy,unfortunately I have to work but next saturday going to do Ben Chonzie taking it easy to start with trying to get fit for summer .Hi druidsam hows things yes thought I would take the plunge.

Coniston WAS great - great practice for winter mountaineering and for my trip to Scotland next month - the place was wick wi' thick snow and ice. I'll be submitting a report when I get my photos back from the developers...
