А у меня фамилия такая.. как это гора. Всегда знал, что английский язык это искавеканный ошипилявившийся др.русский. Strawberry- с травы бери (земляника) Camomill - кому мил (ромашка) Fleather - фетер, т.е.ветер (перо). Т.е. севпрные англечане это русске забывшие свои корни и язык. Но флаг Андреевский) Мда уж... историю исказили.

Hi Douglas. Hope your well. Recently done the Merrick and today I done Cairnsmore of Carsphairn which I know you and Alistdair done previously. Given the time of year and lack of daylight etc I'm now concentrating on the Galloway region to keep the legs turning. Thinking of doing Corserine and Broad Law over towards the Moffat areas as my next target. Thanks again for providing an insight into what I'm hoping to achieve. Cheers Marcus

@lairdoharray 2 ай бұрын
I started off with the intention of walking but got into a guddle. The mountain bikers are not to be messed with so i went down and took the gondola. I didn't think I had enough time to do Beag and get the last gondola, but later realised that when the gondola stops, the bikers tend to stop. I'm counting Aonagh Mor in my bag, but have a few 'insurance munros' against any revision or cheating accusations, so my centure is safe.

Absolutely brilliant video guys. Definitely don't think it's cheating getting the gondola. Some munros like in the cairngorms like Glenshee or Ben Lawers you start from like 400 meters etc. So am guessing it's similar. It's the way I want to do it one day and maybe take my son up with me. Got to say fot summit snack. Definitely the cheesecake lol. Again guys well done on another fantastic video. ATVB Alan

I have the Talon Pro and Dougs has the Stratos (we usually hike together). The one thing I wish the Talon had, which the Stratos has, is the gap between the pack and the shoulder straps. I can imagine this will keep you cooler, although I don’t think the Talon makes you that warm in hot weather.

For a munro climber that my seem pointless. But once on the route, I have experience, paper maps, photos of summits, and even GPS to guide me. But to get from the car or bus stop I can have to just hunt around. Not often but it is a feeling I don't like. JMO.
