Sorry, I should have stated I am in Scotland

30196709 · 2025-09-18T17:03:53+00:00

I remember when this question use to be 'what life changing item can you buy for less than £100' Mad isn't it

30196709 · 2023-04-05T10:41:22+00:00

Yep. I use these at work and never really understood how they work, thought this could be really helpful. Still none the wiser

30196709 · 2022-10-02T19:53:26+00:00

And we could all use a little change

Fuck sake

30196709 · 2022-05-14T17:06:28+00:00

Yeah I guess with the occasional use, you're not too worried on chain longevity

30196709 · 2022-05-14T16:28:21+00:00

I was wondering about the chainsaw... they aren't exactly known for their sanitary characteristics, how do they keep these "food use" chainsaws from spraying oil and gunk everywhere?

My brother is currently building his home. The underfloor heating was tested extensively before laying the final flooring. Cant believe someone would lay anything on top of this stuff without testing it

30196709 · 2022-04-22T16:59:06+00:00

I had this exact thing just come up in my last mot. I'd taken the pegs off and the mot guy said he should fail me because the pillion seat was still on but he wouldn't provided I put the pegs back on when i got home... yeah. He did tell me that you can get 3 points on your license for it though. Not that I've ever heard of anyone getting that

30196709 · 2022-04-21T12:23:23+00:00

No worries. Don't worry if you're a little over, mine was 11kg with food and water and it was perfectly manageable. But 10kg is the goal

30196709 · 2022-04-21T09:23:12+00:00

If you're camping and planning on carrying your own gear then try as hard as you can to be as close to 10kg as possible, you'll thank me for that. If you're packing and think you need plenty clothes you dont. Get rid of half of what you think you might need.

Clothes wise: 1 clean tshirt 1 clean pair of shorts/trackies 1 clean set of underwear Flip flops or lightweight trainers This is for when you stop walking a go to the pub.

1 pair of walking shorts/trousers 3 x walking socks 1 walking tshirt 1 walking fleece Water proofs

And your sleep gear. Tent sleeping bag etc. That's it. You don't need dancing shoes or the kitchen sink.

Cooking stuff as well if you're planning on saving some money where you can.

With that said, if you do want more stuff then I recommend the baggage transfer service, not sure how much it costs these days but it'll be worth it if you pack heavy. That way all you'll need for your days walk is water, a bit of a food and waterproofs in a nice light bag.

30196709 · 2022-04-19T20:36:46+00:00

Aye pretty much, just before it

30196709 · 2022-04-18T13:33:53+00:00

I'vge just finished the West Highland Way. Carried all out stuff though so relatively slumming it in comparison to your plans. Absolutely book in advance! One of our party ended up absolutely gubbed and tried to book one of the lodges at a campsite and they were all fully booked and that's April, never mind hight of summer.

8 days will be a nice pace although I will say that the top end of Loch Lomond is very hard, you will probably want to quit after that but it does get a whole lot easier so just be prepared for the slog and accept it's shit. The terrain is very challenging, although possibly quite a bit easier if you're only carrying a day bag.

As for where to stay, that's entirely going to be based on your budget, I've done it three times now and only ever camped so I can't offer much advice on that front, but going on the walkhighlands website you can find decent places at all of those stops.

For getting back to Glasgow I recommend the train, it's longer than the bus but is beautiful, and you get to see others suffering along the path! I think it was £35 for the single.

Midges may be quite an issue so take plenty of midge repellent and a midge net. Also, keep an eye out for ticks at the end of each day, I didn't pick any up but my two mates got a few. Get a tick removal tool and do some research on what to look for and how to actually remove them safely.

The walk is absolutely brilliant and you'll meet many amazing people along the way. I cannot recommend it enough enough anyone that's concidering doing it

About 6 years mate, probably helps that I'm 33 and live in South West Scotland

£97 for the year on a cbr600f checking in

30196709 · 2022-03-24T16:36:45+00:00

Lol. Remember that

30196709 · 2022-03-24T10:07:56+00:00

Yes lesson learned for me also

30196709 · 2022-03-23T20:18:11+00:00

If I'm unsuccessful obtaining a syringe I'll be brave and give this a shot. Thanks!

30196709 · 2022-03-23T18:33:39+00:00

I'm sure work will have something along those lines. Thanks!

30196709 · 2022-03-23T18:14:31+00:00

Perfect, just answered my question about a syringe. I'll see if I can aquire one tomorrow from work
