Dunno, can you get BBC Scotland on your freeview/sky box?
I'm hoping so!
No beer – is it on iPlayer for us South of the border?
I just checked iPlayer. Yes it is. Available after broadcast.
👍
If any of you need a wee tv mountain fix in the meantime, subscribe to Murray Wilkie - 'scotlands mountains' on youtube, it's fantastic.
Wow, tatoo Steve is a pretty inspirational guy.
Aye, he was awesome!!
Did three peaks Yorkshire today, for the first time, on my own. Nice big day out and great weather! Whernside was so busy but I hit that at lunchtime, and everyone was out for the day. The diversion up Ingleborough is a peaty bog fest and ridiculously steep, but at least it's short. Helluva mountain is Ingleborough. And whernside is a spectacular ridge walk. My first-time up each of the peaks so nice to cross them off. I'd do it again 🙂 just hammering a four pack of beers now in order to relax my muscles
Started at 8.48 and back to the car at 5.25. So we'll call that 8.5 hours.
didn't really stop at all for lunch. Just kept going as I thought I'd seize up and I felt good, although fannied around taking photos. Really glad I've done it

Looks like a fair effort @fingerbang
Another 3 Wainwright's ticked for me today. Helm Crag, Gibson Knott and Calf Crag.....lowest Wainwright's I've done, had some newbies out with us though so didn't want to overdo it.
Another amazing Lakeland day
Did Helvellyn via Brown Crag today with the doggo, Swirl's carpark was fairly full at 8:30 but was rammed when I came back to the car later on.

A cracking day out walking the last few peaks of the Ochills that we hadn't yet done. 16km/5 tops in cold wind and glorious sun.
8.5hrs for walking yorkshire 3 peaks is pretty decent.
It's my regular haunt, I do them individually a few times a month. for about 5 years I've had a thing going of H-in-R primary school to summit of P-Y-G in under 40 mins, I can't do it. 40.58 being my best time.
Cheers B.A.Nana
I'd had loved to have taken my pooch but I think 23.5 miles would've been too much for him and TBH he would've been a complete pain in the arse 😆
I was surprised by the amount of rock scrambling for p-y-g but feels like, and is, a much more compact mountain than the other two sprawling ridges. The stretch from p-y-g to whernside is a slog ,as someone said earlier in the thread, and some horrible road walking
Cracking day yesterday walking in the Galloways, always amazes me how quiet it is there, when the gluepots of arrochar and achray are rammed. Our gain, as I think it's as beautiful as any area, and bloody tough terrain.
Kirriereoch and Tarfessock yesterday, the former is the highest peak in South Ayrshire at 780m, and not another soul there, not one.
Great views over to Merrick.
Great views
The enduro colour scheme is "interesting"
😉
Lol, took a punt on those trousers, I've a few better pairs, but those were 26 quid from regatta, perfect for hacking aboot the boggy stuff.
The jacket is a wee Rab windshell hoody, it's brilliant, you'd think it's just a shitey wee cheap thing when you see it, but it's brilliant for keeping the wind off on days like that, and packs down tiny.
I love bright clothes in the hills, both fir pics, and SAR won't see ye dressed in brown!.
Haha!!! I thought that too....at least you'll be easy for MRT's to spot 🙈
Whom has plans this weekend? Weather looks promising again, so I think that we might do the Newlands Round, worried that it's going to be crazy busy though.
If not then potentially Back o Skiddaw, or maybe something in the Western Lakes, I've not done much out that way.
Just got back from a few days in the lakes.
Haystacks - Fleetwith pike round, Monday.
Pinnacle ridge on Tuesday.
Fairfield horseshoe Wednesday.
@nobeer - I do like jacket ! Let's not mention the troos 😉
I'm just jealous as you clearly had a great day in the hills
Lol! Gonna give em a bash on the MTB this weekend too, reckon they'll be guid riding trews!
I ran up the Ben before breakfast this morning if that’s any humblebrag use ? Was delightful sunrise and a cracking start to the day. Then took child number 1 up Cow Hill for a hot choc from the flask. Good times.
Had a walk up Binnien Shuas (Loch Laggan) this afternoon as part of my 100 day thing but also to capture an elusive VeloViewer square. It's a lovely wee hill with extensive views but is surprisingly pathless after getting off the estate road.

Some great pics there folks. Cheers.
We've been down in Ardnamurchan this week, absolutely scored with the weather. I took the eldest up the highest point behind the campsite, Beinn na Seilg, which gave spectacular views over to Mull, then north to Rum, Muck and Eigg, and the Cuillins further north still.
Didn't meet a soul 😊

We have just done six days on Harris. Utterly sublime walking and meeting an average of 0 people per day on the hills. Lucked out with the weather but my camera now weighs a ton with all the photos
Oooh, we did Beinn na Sielg a few years back. Properly empty hills and amazing views.
Superb, cracking pics Swavis! Harris is magic DavidB, I really need to get back.
Anyone use alpha synthetic stuff? Looking for a 3 season mid weight kinda insulation, not too hot for wearing both up and down. Can pair windshell or hardshell with it?.

Subscribed to the OS Maps online, wow! Have spent the morning printing and laminating maps, still getting to grips with plotting routes but first impressions very good.
Aye, I use it, route plotting is flakey at best, better if you can to import GPX from somewhere else.
bikehike used to be good for creating courses and saving as a gpx, was simple to use as well.
Walkhighlands is an excellent resource for route planning I believe?
I just use a paper map and compass, combined with a grid reference app.
Walkhighlands and walklakes are both good, taking a GPX is useful in pathless areas like my local Galloways.
+1 on walkhighlands
It's saved me a few dead ends, bog hops and dodgy carparks.
If you do use Walkhighlands a lot then a nice little contribution via PayPal keeps them going.
It's nice to be nice
🙂
Yes, agreed, good people.
Wee hills sometimes have the better views.
Binnien Shuas above Loch Laggan yesterday.

Squeezed in another wee Donald on the rhinn of kells today, perfect conditions for it, brilliant.
Out in the Peak today, nice to get back

Any recommendations for a watch (non GPS) with an altimeter function for around £100?
Our good run is starting to run out....after 4 weeks in a row of clear blue skies and perfect conditions, we had a fairly mixed day on the Newlands Round today. Cat Bells was amazing, we were up early and it was pretty quiet all things considered. Simply stunning views. Cloud/mist really dropped in shortly afterwards so it wasn't until we were around to Hindscarth that we got to see anything else really! Still a great day though....felt really tough actually given that it wasn't a huge amount of ascent. It was insanely slippery all day mind.....the descent off Hindscarth was lethal!
Can anyone recommend some waterpoof shell mitts to go over softshell gloves? They're probably going to be sat in the rucsac and rarely used but they'd be really handy for those days when the weather turns unexpectedly rotten.
