oh nd here's a piccy

Well I'm back and I lived. Ended up following a mates advice and getting the train to Balloch then heading up to Balmaha. Walked North out of the village following the loch, then cam across a fork in the road. One way headed away from the loch and the other followed it bu was marked as a...

Toddy, not heard about Glen Campsie before. I do like the idea of Loch Lomond as well. Google maps will be in use shortly :-D Marttiini Girl, I grew up in Gourock and never even thought about Dunoon. Might even take the bike :-D Last Exam is on Monday and SHMBO has given me a free pass to...

oooooo, now skye sounds nice

So far I've been able to get out a good few times already this year (quite happy as I only decided to get into this in January) but I've been dependant on either borrowing the in laws car or talking people into giving me a lift to Loch Ard. I really fancy the idea of just getting away on my...

well I've finally bought my 1st hammock (tenth wonder green hornet) and was unsure about if I need an under blanket or not. The hammocks got a section for me to put my sleep mat, so I wasn't sure if I need an under blanket or if it's over kill. whats the opinions?

Well with Uni winding down I'm looking forward to having enough time to finish my 1st knife next week. I'm thinking about how I'm going to fix the handle & I've seen some nice decorative pins on this site and also hollow pins for lanyards. Just wondering if people could recommend UK...

never been out on my own, but after reading this I'm wondering how hard it'd be to get a weekend pass, from swmbo, for me and the dog, and how hard it'd be to get the dog on the bus to loch lomond

1st's for me this week made my 1st post on the forum and went to my 1st meet Chased my 1st bumble bee out the house Shot my 1st arrow Gave my oldest his 1st SAK as a birthday present Got my 1st sunburn in years and I'm taking both the kids on their 1st camping trip on friday Never...

agreed, great day. Especially considering it was my 1st time meeting everyone. Only regret was I wasn't able to be too talkative due to a sore throat and a bit of a cold oh yeah and wasn't able to pop one of the balloons ;-) Thanks to Josh for organising, Scotty for the use of the land, and...

Thanks for the link. The threads I've been looking at were all line drawings so it's nice to see the actual setups.

Hi All, got another n00b question for ya. I've got a weekend pass for the end of the month and will most likely be heading up to loch ard or similar (loads of trees, loads of moss on the ground). I'm thinking about taking my new tarp and bivi instead of a tent to save on weight. Never...

Thanks for the welcome mate :-) Already jumped in the deep end and if I can sort a lift I'll hopefully make the archery shoot on Sunday (always wanted to give it a go :-D) So what was the Artic trip like?? is there a review on the site??

fair enough
