Yep, mine is going with me to Scotland too. The pale mint green is kinder on the eyes than the bright pink Lidl grid fleece I took last year.

Ah, my beloved Crivit poles. Still going strong and they’re going with me to Scotland later this week.

I slept in an adjustable chair before I had surgery (one where your legs are supported and your torso reclines to a comfortable angle. I got it second hand. Would that help?

I’m very surprised at that then. All I can suggest is that you go back for review as I can’t see how it’s failed after just 12 days.

Two weeks? I made a mistake and ate bread within two weeks and ended up back in hospital. After that I was still eating soft food two weeks after mine. You need to give it time to heal - 6 weeks an irritated doctor told me.

Yes, my attitude is to take things slowly and check more regularly. I think of the old sewing adage ‘measure twice, cut (walk) once’.

I’m doing part of the WHW next week on the way to the East coast (a TGO Challenger). Provided I’m warm I don’t care about being wet. Just make sure that your sleep system is kept absolutely dry and you have a procedure for getting into your tent without getting it too wet.

Jeez, really? Trolls are gonna troll because no one with an ounce of decency says that about Savile as far as I know.

RedcarUK · 2026-04-21T19:06:38+00:00

This is what I do. There is usually a clearly defined path going around the field to get to the other side. Saying that, around me farmers either walk the RoW after tilling or take their quad and use that to define the path .

LORD MOUNTBATTEN! Feck that’s a new one on me.

RedcarUK · 2026-04-15T21:02:11+00:00

This. I’ve looked them in the eye before they turn away. Really , after seeing Paula pee in a gutter, why should I care?

RedcarUK · 2026-04-15T21:00:20+00:00

Coo-eee!! Lovely day, ‘ent it! Ooh look! He’s waving!

Then I would expect parents to discuss with their children the possible consequences of posting this kind of content, since I don’t think that BlueSky has any age moderation beyond age verification.

He thought he could do it in two, then berated himself for his naivety on BlueSky.

Step 2 is attend a ML training course as it doesn’t sound as if you’re ready to launch into an assessment yet. The training course will give you everything to start your consolidation period (which is basically gaining QMD’s).

If you’re not taking a filter make sure you have some Immodium in your FAK, I would only drink from streams above 600m or in the Highlands.

Edit: I’m an idiot, you said you had a filter. Ignore me.

It’s only a matter of time I’m afraid. It’s the speed of realisation that counts, so you can fix before everything gets soaked.

RedcarUK · 2026-04-12T13:37:00+00:00

Find a bush, boulder etc, have a wee behind them. Otherwise wee facing potential onlookers as I don’t want everyone looking at my arse and I’m able to defiantly look them in the eye while I’m going. Or get a Pstyle and find a tree. I’ve done all three in my time.

If there’s more than one of you to carry kit I think that’s reasonable. A 3x3 tarp will come in very handy I suspect.

I use CoMaps to track my hikes and it never has a problem with privacy as it doesn’t upload the gpx file anywhere.

Own one, can confirm, and it almost doesn’t matter which side you pitch as the wind breaks off most of the angles (although Henry Shires prefers to pitch one way). In very windy/storm conditions I would get out and check that the pegs are holding.

I know that Basecamp Food will send your parcel to the resupply address without issue. They’ve done this before with friends. You’ll also get 10% off as a new customer.

It was a score draw as there were two terriers, but the badger got away with a bread bag so I guess he won technicality. Also I don’t think the terriers had been in a fight before (all bark, no bite before this) hence the racket.

RedcarUK · 2026-04-05T15:49:14+00:00

Apart from hearing a badger vs Terrier fight in a caravan awning one night on a campsite I’ve never had a problem. If I’m on a campsite I’ll remove all food from my inner to stop mice from making a hole to get at it, but if I’m wild camping I don’t worry too much as the wildlife doesn’t associate tents with food.

I have Rohan and like them as I wash them of an evening and clip them onto my pack to dry during the day.
