We plan to be there! (only have the one brass lamp, but are making goggles..)..

We’re crewing on the west highland way race later this month near Tyndrum, we’re taking headnets, gloves, jungle formula... not sure if we’re allowed a smoky fire at the checkpoint but we will ask...

It was avery good day, nice to meet folk, and a very good venue.. pleased with the end result!

Its a beermat, the symbols for guidance and protection iirc...

I finished stitching the sheath, I’ll get some beeswax to it later. It’s been an interesting project, read a fair bit about the knives and the people that designed and used them.

Tyndrum, Sunday morning

It was a good slog up (glad we weren't going up from the Balmaha side!) there were a few fallers with cuts and bruises coming down to the checkpoint, but some great views over to the islands.

Part of the east route, we saw someone being taken off by boat near here after a fall.. Short walk this morning near tyndrum to get breakfast... Heading down to Balmaha through the woods Legs not too bad today! Filling up on food and water now, 6000+ calories burned according to my watch...

Well it was going well till Beinglas, and i got timed by 5mins out at 66km with 19km to go! But the cut offs are there for safety (still gutted) it was a great event and I’ll try again next year.. id learned a lot so should be better! The lochside between inversnaid and beinglas was very...

Yep, its the east side :joyful:

Not a regular day out ramble, but I'll be having a go at the Highland Fling Ultra Run between Milngavie and Tyndrum, running along the first part of the west highland way this Saturday 28th (along with a few hundred others). I've walked and canoed at Loch Lomond, but this'll be different! If...

Finished shaping the handle, having a look at sheath patterns next, (there seem to be a lot of varients.

Its been awhile sonce i got a chance to do anything on this knife project, but this is what I’ve done so far. The blade is getting slowly polished, the handle from an old file handle is beilg carved then sanded. Its starting to look more like the picture in Wikipedia, but still some way to go

Only person in the team at work, most of the patients cant get in, so there will be a lot to do next week. I'm only a kilometre from the hospital so it was easy to trudge in, colleagues outside Edinburgh can get out of driveways, no transport options, so advice is to stay put.

A couple of days ago, i asked our pharmacy team to check about licquorice interactions with one of the newer targeted compounds we are trialling in cancer, they produced a fair bit of information for me. We’re always asking patients for lists of herbal items they are taking to check for...

Ive make the sulpher spills from sulpher from the garden centre, its in granules and melts well, with a bit of care and ventilation, works fine in conjunction with charcloth. I got some old army surplus cigarette tubes to keep them in. The main issue is it seems to have an almost invisible...

Depending on dates I'd be interested..

I use an AND model ua-767 digital sphyg at home, works fine. Its a similar model to the ones i give out to patients when we’re doing extended bp records. It is the trend over time rsther than a one off recording, so i do use an app iBP on my iphone to graph my own recordings, i can print it off...

I have had good stuff from Sports Pursuit, https://www.sportpursuit.com/ (mostly trail running kit, but they have a fair bit of walking/hiking stuff as well).

I do this for the first fire of the autumn, we get it going with flint, steel and charcloth.. After that, its whatever the person fancies, but its a nice opportunity..
