Beyond the beaten track do flameless heater meals. As a DofE leader, I get a whopping 40% off. Similar to the MRE heaters. 12mins to heat a pouch.

What will it contain ? Is it a day bag that needs opened whilst in the canoe ? Or is it for lining a rucksac ? Lomo do very cheap bags from a6 size up to 100ltrs. Vango also do quality but expensive ones.

Dolphins are visible form Aberdeen harbour wall !

Remember it's what people 'can do' not what they 'can't do'. Start from that point.

You could probably easily access the first parachute/camp fire area too. I was there the last two days on a 'Leave No Trace' trainer course. Great setup there, Impressed. The composting toilet at the first site had steps.

Yes. Certainly looks a similar structure to some Magnia i just googled. The fallen buds look like furry rabbit ears.

Fog burnt off the Clyde Gareloch on Sunday at lunch, so an easy paddle and Easter egg snack was had. Then some flatbread cooked on the BBQ. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8753/17043949685_e4a3f59ac4_o_d.jpg

Was out yesterday canoeing, had a Duke of Edinburgh group out practicing and leaarning expedition skills. Bit windy but ideal for practicing that skill, tandems, so easy enough. Main skills were cooking, as they have to cook for three days. Lots learnt regarding use of the trangias - with gas...

Wow, certainly is fit. You sure it was 5-6 days ?

With some very 'wintery' stormy days, you need to get out to avoid hibernating with food and TV. Walk 1 - Ardmore point nr Helensburgh, good for an hrs walk. 2014-12-29 15.20.52.jpg by Scotstechy, on Flickr Lots of Conglomerate rocks, as it's on the Highland Boundary fault. 2014-12-29...

Yes, very full. Although it may slowly drop with the dry weather we have had.

The Aldochlay layby was full of roof racked cars and we saw 3 or more hammocks slung just at the south side of the narrows, no campers present though. We went round Inchconnachan and Inchmoan and only saw one open boater. Cracking dry weather. Quite foggy just now, in Helensburgh 3 miles from...

Bluebird sky and a friend to christen his new Apache canoe, so off to Loch Lomond. Bit frosty, but still keen to paddle, this is the compass well on the boat, even at 10am. 2014-12-28 11.37.41.jpg by Scotstechy, on Flickr 2014-12-28 09.29.27.jpg by Scotstechy, on Flickr Left the Xmas...

Looks like a. BOB copy, full sus, for £80...

The beauty of the BOB trailers is that it will follow the bike wherever you go. The only real restriction is the width. So if you can fit the handlebars through a gap in trees then the trailer will fit. It does not really effect the performance of the bike and you have a back free of kit. They...

You can do many tracks that are single track using the full sus. Bob trailers. Great fun !

You need to get a B.O.B trailer. I assessed a DofE Silver group who spent three days touring the Cairngorms, epic stuff, great trailers.

Last weeks episode was ok. Should be better this week, Samis.
