In terms of sports, F1 is now just cars rather than the drivers. The drivers have smaller effect than the car technology. I'm not a fan of Golf per se but he did do a lot this year.

I think McIlroy did more. He should have won it.

I usually look for a book, click used then look by price. I also got some out of print climbing books.

Just got these, second hand. All for a penny (£2 ish postage). 'Survival of the fittest' by. Mike Stroud. already read this but leant it out years ago to whom I forgot. 'How to get to the North Pole......and other ironic adventures' Tim Moss 'Beyond Limits' Ranulph Fiennes. Anyone else got...

Had a wee wander about here, very windy n chilly. Snow melt had filled the Endrick, so quite high levels. 2014-12-14 13.47.36.jpg by Scotstechy, on Flickr

Yip, it was a cool lodge.

Maybe driftwood or whale bone ?

I left school (work) on the bell and drove 20mins and went up Dumyat a wee hill behind Stirling. Quite icy but no crampons required (carried though). Some snow filling in wee gully lines. Mild 9 degs tomorrow so looks like the snow line will creep up to 2000ft or so, as it does most winters...

I have a decathlon mat, 8yrs and still going strong.

They share out the whale catches around the community without charge.

Mandos - have you watched the Talk ? It works faster than Celox and in a different way. It works with the body cells to repair that unique area.

Most interesting was when the lady said there are no curse words or insults in the Chukchi language.

Chainsaw wounds etc......

Saw this this morning on RT news channel, great stuff. 100% literate too, something our culture has not reached yet. http://rt.com/shows/documentary/211695-chukchi-russia-far-northeast/

Snow above 1000ft here now. Basically above 2000ft you will get snow in Scotland. That's why the treeline is there or lower. Last winter had huge dumps, some patches lasting all year. Get the sleeper to Aviemore and get up in the Cairngorms on the plateau.

I am trying to shed fat and get hill fit for winter climbing, it's not the climbing that's hard but the walk in and crag apron with all the kit ! Now Mountain biking one night a week and indoor rock climbing once a week. Easy to 'hibernate' with short days/long nights.

Bowling up towards Lambhill is Lock hell, but get a trolley. All the locks have very low canoe pontoons, just off the water top to make life dead easy portaging. Also they have steps up off the canal at convenient spots too. Plenty points for food or fresh water canal side each day. Your allowed...

We did a School Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition, started at the official 'Glasgow to Edinburgh canoe trail' start, at 'Speirs Wharf'. No locks till Wyndford near Banknock. Then four locks between here and Falkirk. They stopped at Lock 16. 5-7 hrs paddling each day, wild camped two...

We did these four today. Start up through the woods following the orange topped posts. Up the muddy Hydro track, then cut off left for the first summit. Bluesky apart from 20mins of zero visibility, then t shirt all day. We came off the last summit then re joined the hydro track. 18km 6 1/2...

Not, now ! Thanks for pointing it out.
