Nice mate- love the hills and mountains myself. Done a lot of Wales (66 summits) and a bit of lake and Peak District and 6 months in the alps.
Never walked in Scotland though which needs to be done because there is some of the worlds best walks up there. 700 million years in the making. Love it!

Yeah am the walker. Just about completed the munros. Every hill/ mountain in scotland over 3000ft. There is 282 off them. I have 1 left to do.
Was in a place called knoydart this week. the most remote part off scotland. Did 46km with 3869meters off ascent in 17.5 hours off walking
Also trying to join torridon mountain rescue at the moment.

Looking a bit toasty there Rich!
Didn't realise we has so many out door types on here. Breaks my vision of a bunch of speckie geeks huddled round a computer knocking one out to Karens sandcrawler. :lol: ... Or is that just me :lol:
Ron: that's a bloody massive hike mate...12,000 feet of assent. Wow! That's huge.

We tried to do the 3 peaks in Easter but snow was a concern. And if you can't manage it in 24 hours then...
We're going to do it next year and then hopefully Killimanjaro (sp?) in 2 years

I'm a ***** compared to that! When I did my ML training the assessor was telling me about spending a fortnight in knoydart (which I could never find on a map because I was looking for Noydark lol). I recall that the nearest road was 3 days walk and then there was a ring of hills which you could walk in a week and then 3 days back out?
Didn't do a lot at Fort William mainly was based North of Spean Bridge heading towards Laggan. Never been at that bit before, usually based at Aviemore and Tomatin.
2 days ago headed to Glen Shiel and enjoyed Coire na Craileig. Stayed at Altbeith YhA and then headed out to Morvich via Meall a Bhealaich. My spell check is going nuts.
Yesterday went South to through Kintail but didn't try the Five Sisters
Picked up the old military road and did Bealach , Chaolis and Foachag.
Burnt a fair bit was very hot!

Apart from the midgies :x ... did Ben Nevis and a few others (can't remember all the names but pretty sure we did some abseiling near Gairloch?) on a school trip once. Great times
