    What Three Words

    I was in a semi remote location a few years ago, before W3W, on the side of a loch. I had located a vehicle that, by nature of where it was, what was in it etc was very suspicious - someone gone off for a walk never to return? Anyway I phoned the Police and being ex MR I gave them a 6 figure...

    Map cases

    I have used the Ortlieb A5 Document/Map case for many years, summer, winter, UK and abroad, just the right size to put in a jacket pocket, or use the cord to attach to your rucksack shoulder strap and store it under the strap when not in use. Previously, I used an A4 plastic bag tucked inside...

    Lightweight but not silly money tent

    I've got a Coleman Viper, just over 1kg and cost £30. A great wee tent, used it in -20C, in gales, torrential rain etc, never had a problem - probably the best tent I have had, and I've used and had many tents from many manufacturers, and surprisingly good quality. I'm sure it was a mistake at...

    Anybody Famous For Anything?

    I once gave Adam Boulton off of Sky News a b*****king - we were in Iraq at the time and he was trying to make a phone call next to an armed aircraft. I still smile every time I see him on TV.

    Woodlore Shopping Experience

    I live in an area that's classed as Highlands and Islands so it's a "postal problem area", however, I get exactly the same brilliant next day experience as everyone else when I use Woodlore. I often use them as an example to people and companies when they tell me that they can't deliver to my...

    Thank you, that was really good, but then I'm biased - wolves are my favourites.

    With thanks to Rod Paradise.. A few pics of some jewellery he commissioned from me.

    Those look lovely Rachael, my wife constantly gets comments and compliments about the tree pendant I got from you. She's just looked at these and really likes the look of dreamcatcher necklace.

    A Highland Haven.

    That's brilliant - a beautiful part of Scotland, not seen it before. The midges remind me of a callout I did on Slioch many years ago for a woman with a broken ankle, I was in the control vehicle on the side of Loch Maree running the comms so no escaping the midges for me. The next day my face...
