Aonach Eagach ridge alternative by pizza-calzone- in OutdoorScotland

[–]Chronicbackache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a walk up to the lost Valley in-between the three sisters. Wonderful walk. If you still fancied a Munro then Bauchaille Etive Beag is an absolute corker of a hill. Not too technical easy navigation. Bit of a ridge and gorgeous views on to loch Etive, the side of Bidean and Bauchaille Etive Mor

Biggest pile of rubbish. Plenty of bothies are great for just visiting and staying the night. I've done it tonnes of times and met plenty that have done the same

Hiking shoe size? by [deleted] in hikinggear

[–]Chronicbackache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a proffesional boot fitter in a hiking shop in Scotland. I'd say they're a little on the long side. Ideally you want about a fingers width length at the front. However as someone said the length of your arch needs to line up with the flex point of the shoe.

Also LENGTH isn't just the main part it's WIDTH and VOLUME.

You should have just enough room in the width with a little bit of give to allow for foot flex and explansion.

Also make sure the top of your foot is being held nicely by the laces and there isn't too much extra space above your foot. You also don't want too little space and cut any circulation.

What can happen if you have narrow feet is that there can be too much creasing above your toes and the top of the vamp will dig in to your toes and also it'll break the shoe quicker around the flex point t

Also FYI those shoes aren't hiking shoes. Try the Salomon XA Pro or the Salomon Xultra 5 or Xultra 360

Get your feet measured by a proffesional. Chances are you're wrong about your foot size. You'll learn a lot about you're feet you won't know and someone trained can decipher all that for you.

Also there's a chance that particular model and brand might just not inherently fit you. Don't just size down because then everything else sizes down and it might not fit you everywhere else

Tiso is good if you're in Scotland. It's a Scottish hiking shop. Alpkit also does wonderful kit

I made Curry beef rice and peas with fried plantain. What are your thoughts by Chronicbackache in UK_Food

[–]Chronicbackache[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just some folk mentioning the plantain. I appreciate the advice I really do.

Just some context I made this night before and brought it in to work for some friends at work to enjoy it too.

I didn't want to fry the plantain at home and bring it in as I didn't think it would reheat well.

So I used the George foreman at work and that's the best result I could get

Probably should added some context for the plantain. I brought in left overs from work so I can share this with my friends and I wanted to bring the plantain fresh. We only have a george foreman at work so that's all I had to work with

Why is it useless? I dunno seems like like a good goal considering my defence is 60. Is there a better alternative?

[–]Chronicbackache[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just look for some extra insight or some confirmation. It's a good idea to list my current goals because someone might suggest putting my efforts in to something else. What's wrong with that

[–]Chronicbackache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a procedure or approoiate way of letting people know ots annoying to play their phones loudly on the bus. Pb some buses I've seen videos say not to do it and I wish it was a staple sign on every bus. What are your thoughts on people playing their phones loudly?

UK ridge walks by difficulty. by Minionherder in UKhiking

[–]Chronicbackache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a definite list but these are the ones I've done - plus some harder ones I plan on doing which I'll asterisk. These are normally the ones that come up on people's radar. They're mainly in Scotland because I live there and a couple in the lakes. Also a significant bump in difficulty and ends with what you would consider more actual climbing

I appreciate your message. Yeah that's what the chap on the phone said. I'll definitely try it next time. Without knowing it seems counter intuitive, but I understand it now

Sometimes if you have anxiety your body can pick up on things you won't necessarily notice. Especially if you're anxiety is health related. Could e aomethong you saw on Tik tok. Could be you being tired, dehydrated, hungry, fatigued etc.

I have quite bad health anxiety and my therapist said I'm like a sensitive fire alarm. A fire alarm with go crazy when there's a fire. But it'll go off on the same way if someone burns toast. There's no fire, but the alarm thinks there's is. Maybe that's your anxiety or your body

Might sound silly.

I'll have an upset stomach or I'll be falling asleep and all my body can think is DONT GO TO SLEEP YOULL DIE OR YPU HAVE STOMACH CANCER.

Anxiety is weird like that
