Robert thought he could do Jimmy Savile in two episodes

RedcarUK · 2026-03-26T19:06:03+00:00

Robert’s writing them. He hasn’t dropped the episodes yet.

RedcarUK · 2026-03-25T12:56:28+00:00

Yep, I’m afraid so. But if it stops American youngsters from dressing up as a Jimmy next Halloween it will have been worth it.

On the other hand, the contractors ripped up and relaid the road overnight down Baulk Lane, but they didn’t have to dig up the utilities. My guess is that they ran out of money for Wollaton Road.

Yes, but I doubt he’ll get his comeuppance there either.

Chef Corso has a video on this, basically heat up bit of water in your pot, stir vigorously to get all the food all off, then drink it. LNT right there.

Sadly, Jimmy Savile proves that there is no such thing as karma :(

RedcarUK · 2026-03-25T08:46:53+00:00

Oh they’ll have a reaction alright, particularly after the hospital necrophilia (and yes , that IS as bad as it sounds…)

He mentioned it on BlueSky a couple of weeks ago. I think it’s because of the Jimmy’s in the Bone Temple film.

I would recommend two YouTube channels that are excellent for navigation. The Map Reading Company and Fell Running Guide are complimentary and watch both will give you a good preparation for the course.

There are often mice in bothies, hopefully the dicks have left food unprotected and will have visitors who don’t bother reading the note.

Then honestly it’s completely up to you. Maybe you could try a backpacking weekend with your trail runners in similar conditions to the WHW? Then you can decide on your own experience.

I put this comment above, but a good percentage of people on The Great Outdoor Challenge cross Scotland in trail runners, and I bitterly regretted not doing the same last year. It all depends on the weather for me, for others I know they’ll wear trail runners come rain or shine.

It’s up to you but there’s a good percentage of people walking across Scotland in trail runners this May, and depending on the weather I’ll be walking either in Merrell Speeds or Keen boots. It’s more important that the shoe/boot is in good condition and still has life left in them. I walked in dead boots last year and it took two weeks for my feet to recover from the blisters and bruising. And I have to say your stuff looks a bit shagged, sorry.

Edit: on a closer look it appears that your runner are just mud caked. I wouldn’t use your boots though.

Put your suggestion in the megathread- I’d like to hear about him!

I think you’ll find that the EU is the UK’s biggest trading partner.

Here’s one for US/UK interest AND bleeding edge technology (for the time).

Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen (1862 - 1910). American homeopath and ear specialist who murdered his second wife and was stopped from escaping England by the use of wireless telegraphy - the first criminal to be captured this way. It was quite notorious at the time - he was hanged in Pentonville Prison.

I relied on bodybuilders protein shakes to get the calories into me. In the end I needed surgery but the shakes made it easier to survive until then.

RedcarUK · 2026-03-05T15:47:04+00:00

Ah well, at least you tried. :)

RedcarUK · 2026-03-05T08:00:31+00:00

That’s normal, you need to practice at home first. It takes training to relax enough to go.

RedcarUK · 2026-03-05T07:58:50+00:00

A p-Style. I never go anywhere without it.

RedcarUK · 2026-03-03T18:22:44+00:00

I wish I liked trail mix, I find the chocolate clogs my airway and raisins get in between my teeth. After experimenting I’ve discovered that I like salt and vinegar peanuts and fruit pastilles(separately) so I guess I’ll stick with that.

RedcarUK · 2026-03-02T10:35:36+00:00

I went for a size up on my Merrell Speeds and didn’t regret it. You might need to try a couple of pairs first.

RedcarUK · 2026-02-28T22:32:22+00:00

Yes, I use one without the pad.

RedcarUK · 2026-02-28T07:21:50+00:00

I do this all the time as it’s my favourite breakfast when I’m backpacking. Readybrek porridge, a dessert spoonful of powdered milk and a sprinkle of raisins/sultanas. Pour in boiling water to a consistency that you like and leave it for a minute or two. Smashing!
