We only offer the information on the site Rebecca. However we do have listings for people and companies offering guided walking - see our Guided holidays page (and note the links for local guides at the bottom too).

is there a quick way to get to unpublished (draft) walk reports. I keep having to go to the relative hill, then go to reports then manage walk reports etc. Surely there is a better way? Tom

To get to your drafts, you can either choose 'Account settings' from the drop down menu at the top of the screen, then navigate to drafts. Or you can simply go to the walk report board, click new post, then 'Load draft' at the bottom.

Paul, at present there is neither a report or a photograph of Mile Hill (under2000m) in Angus, today I was up an adjacent hill Creigh Hill, and took some photographs of Mile Hill from it, would they be any use to you and how do I send them to you. I am to put my report in for Creigh Hill later tonight so if I identify the photographs that have views of Mile Hill, can you copy same if any use?. Unfortunately my plans to also climb Mile Hill in the afternoon had to be put on hold as the point of entry I took had the usual barbed wire fencing and electric fencing with also a Bull in field sign. I went so far but with the fencing in a poor state, would have collapsed under my weight I decided to leave for another day from another access point, Rod

No special software needed I would imagine - thought it was just another web page but Paul/Helen could confirm.

Yes, sorry for the slow response. There isn't any software needed for the GPS planner.

If the mapping tiles don't appear, it could be to do with your internet connection. Some work (corporate) internets block the mapping tiles - they have to be served over a different port to the rest of the website, which isn't allowed in some offices.

Hi Paul,

You said in an earlier post that you could get email notification of forum topics as they were raised.

How do you set this up.

Thanks

Mike

If you are on a topic you want to follow, there is a link at the bottom to 'subscribe topic'

Likewise, on a forum (e.g. Walk reports - Scotland) - there is a link at the bottom to 'subscribe forum'. This would probably be quite alot of emails though!

Is this photograph of Meall Mor (Marilyn) in Glen Isla any good for your use, as at present there is none.

The Hare Cairn page presently states 'that there are no public user reports for this hill', yet I submitted one yesterday, the page shows that I have climed the hill but no report has been identified on page. I and others have seen the report so it has downloaded but not confirmed by the WH page. Is there I should do or can this be rectified your end?
