    Leave no trace?

    It's nothing short of very bad practice to leave it like that. That's partly why camping is now banned on the east side of loch Lomond...My dog had his dew pad sliced off with glass after running through a recently used area similar to this in the Trossachs a few months ago... This fire ring...

    Fat wood

    This pine was dug out of exposed peat and lit on the shore of a lochan. You'd be surprised at how old it can be and where you can find it.

I've pm'd you and not heard back and seen that you have been on the site. If you can get in touch and let...

    Loch Shiel

    I know someone who knew Mike very well and unfortunately it seems he became very upset and angry at people tracking him down and he was at pains to keep his cottage anonymous for the whole reason of protecting the wildlife and landscape many of us love and visit. As far as I'm aware Mike was...

    Loch Shiel

    Mike Tomkies would FREAK if he saw this! The poor guy spent the best part of his life here before things went pair shaped and he was at pains trying to keep his place special and not named in his books for that reason. Yeagh I know the boat trip on the loch tells you when you are on it etc...but...

    Pen fishing rod

    NBC suit...what to do with it?

    They make great work wear for dirty jobs out in the woods, they are exceptionally warm when worn in winter and are used a lot by those in the states as scent blocking wear for when hunting.

    Anyone use or interested in Vango Banshee 2010 model tents?

    I bought a really nice looking Vango Banshee 300 2010 model for £70 in go outdoors the other day. I've been after a relatively lightweight packable tent big enough for my other half and my dog for non car based trips up north and to the islands. I've been looking at the Banshee 200 for a while...

    A Bold Statement

    Stuart...without seeing the statement in context it is hard not to be so judgemental on the guy. At face value I would take it as evident of an arrogance I'd rather not see in anyone. We all have our darker sides but the key is to recognise it within us and change it. Most don't recognise it...

    Arctic Circle, solo. (pic heavy)

    Awesome trip there Doc! Great info and pics too. Very brave solo trip indeed! I'm curious...did you buy food or take it with you on the plane? And did you take a tent? And was it cold at night? I quite fancy a solo trip like this and tbh I think trails would give you the confidence until you'd...

    UK based illness and diseases

    My wife n I got really badly affected in Mull by harvest mites. Same symptoms and all because we camped on short cropped grass and sat outside the lavuu on the bare grass with shorts on. It was excruciating for days.
