Had a realisation yesterday that the £400 bike has brought just as much fun into my life as the £4000 bike. Folks, don’t buy into the marketing hype.

Finally the 5 Degree West post is up on the blog! tramplitegear.com/5-degrees-west/

Really good interview. Well worth a listen if you are interested in the Cape Wrath Trail

2 weeks today my grandad went missing from our home in St. Andrews. I am urging anyone with information to please call 101. We are desperate to find him.

A rare sighting of me in a tie. Heading down to Birmingham to say my final goodbye to Andy Howell. He wouldn’t approve of the shirt and tie, but I think will appreciate the Paramo, Aclima and Darn Tough I’m also wearing :-)

On a train surrounded by people coughing and spluttering and yet almost nobody is wearing a face covering! What a bunch of selfish bast**ds :-(

November has been great month for a bit of bivving. A small head tarp really adds a lot of comfort. This is from my last trip to the Yorkshire Dales

Milnagavie is famous for being the start of the West Highland Way but that’s not the trail I’m taking today. I will head more easterly to Aviemore using the Rob Roy & SNT trails. Undecided on my route thu the Cairngorms. I’ve plotted many!

Last nights camp. Near Craigallian Loch. Bit of the WHW now before picking up the Rob Roy Way
