"Like the idea of wild camping, the whole one with nature thing...but then i think about the practicalities of it and realise i probably like my creature comforts far too much to actually do it. " It isnt too bad if youve got the gear. I had a steak dinner and fry up last time I was out 😂 | |||

Sounds good that, with the right equipment"I do have that, though I forgot my insulated air mattress, that was murder. Was a bit surprised I woke op the next morning, never been so cold. Climbed two munros next day, snow between knee and waist deep, by late afternoon my insulated breaks were full of snow and weighed a tonne. Tough going and a learning curve. No midgees though 😂 | |||

"There’s something to be said about tranquility of Scotlands outdoors. Alas miges can spoil a good location, as for clegs they’re on you before you know it. Minard may seem scenic it’s also ground zero for midges clegs and ticks. Who needs a tent when a bivvy bag and basha work so well "Yea minard is nice for the view across loch fyne but the dear tics are everywhere as soon as you hit grass. Madness as I never had any when small then got my first 10 years ago and hate the wee things with vengeance | |||

"Apparently climate change has led to more tics according to Stirling uni researchers Such a irritating little thing spoiling the great outdoors "Aye, and there’s less snow, when I first started hiking in the 90s it was common in May to have 10ft deep solid frozen snow on the summits, now there are just patches. | |||

"That kinda thing, and doing the Munroes, has always been something I wanna do" Get yourself into it, it’s hard graft but hugely rewarding. I meet a lot of folk in the mountains, 99% friendly decent people. | |||

My family just want nice, flat walks "Start with the easiest Munros, which are Glenshee, the ski road takes you over half way. Then gradually go to the more serious ones. I had a long time out, bringing up family, got back into it 3 years ago (within a year I did a 42km walk and 7 munros in a single day, did another walk of 53km last year) Once you’ve done a few you’ll get the muscles in the right place, stamina and confidence. Getting the right gear is important, also navigational aids, like the OS map app which is a subscription. | |||
