As for your ankle, i too have a dodgy ankle which i wear a aircast ankle support from physio room, don't know if this would aid yours.

Cheers JC,prob with my ankle goes back to last year when I broke my heel,it seems to have healed,but the tendon which runs up the outside of your ankle gets very sore & tender.Will have a wee look to see if an aircast support would help

Shame about the ankle - sounds like you're going to need a name change :lol:

But at least you got views from Binnien Beag - it may be the little brother of the Mamores but it gives super views.
