Thanks lomondwalkers - can't wait to see the results of your investment (in both time and money) be careful though, it can be addictive :lol:

Stunning pictures and great report Chris. (And your butterfly is so lovely - I can never get that close to one). All your pictures come out great. Looks a lovely walk.

I really am missing being out in the hills :(

Thanks MW - I've been working for 3 months and so have been out of the hills myself (have done a lot of local walking but nothing to demanding) its good to be back...... :D

Why aren't you out in the hills......did I miss something whilst out working ??

No Chris, you've not missed anything. Been on night shifts for a month and under the weather for a wee while but hope to get out again when feeling better. Might start with a local hill in Angus or Clachnaben next week :)

A month of nights, damn that's harsh....probably why you've been feeling under the weather - get yourself out there and blow the cobwebs off :lol:

Just the caliber of photo quality I have come to expect, Chris! Gorgeous as always!!! I love the forest shots...forest walks don't seem to be very popular in this forum. Is it safe to assume it's because of bugs? :think: Couldn't imagine why else, this area is magnificent! And that winter shot from Alastair is also gorgeous!

Thanks ND, I love a bit of forest wander myself, I think a lot of people walk the forests but don't photograph them much because there in not much by way of a view (other then trees :lol: ) A lot of the walks on here require you to go through a forest first but people seem to save the camera until there is a wider view to capture :D

Interesting that you mention bugs as I am beginning to think we don't have them in the east of Scotland, I've heard people bemoaning the midges over on the west coast as usual but I have never been bitten or suffered fly-bys in the 2 years I've been here.....maybe I smell bad :lol: :lol:

Hi Chris,

I am looking to organise a run on Hill of Fare. Would I be able to get your original photos and use for the website? They are fantastic photos. :clap: :shock:

Let me know if this is possible and I can send you my details.

Thanks,
Gareth
