Just been up this weekend walking 8 epic munros
Got to glencoe red squirrel site by friday midnight, walked saturday, sunday, monday and landed home at 1am tuesday!
Epic weekend
I’m tired just listening to that schedule lol
Sounds like you had a great trip
Normally driving the 5 hours straight after a full days walk totally wrecks me, but I was in convoy with a mate in his landy so it flew by.
It's the only way I can get my Scotland fix
need to move up to the highlands one day...I wish
I'll paint it green before assembling!!

You can have it Matt....but it will set you back 250,000 US dollars!!! they sourced that 1991 Defender from the Peaks District. here is a pic of the seats
just realised how much works gone into that, forgot about the 25 year old import rule in the states.....meaning they've added the dash/interior from a 07 onwards into a truck of that age!You can have it Matt....but it will set you back 250,000 US dollars!!! they sourced that 1991 Defender from the Peaks District. here is a pic of the seats
interior is a no from me to be honest, but the outside is a big yes....just needs some classier looking wheels
Cracking photo mate....with a bit more snow about soon you'll get even better landyscape backdrops lol
If I get away to scotland over xmas like I'm hoping, I'll have no end of snow pics!!!
Heading to Aviemore myself between Xmas and new year. Working each end of the holidays so I thought why not. Car still looks cool mate.
Great pic Matt
Snow is on the top of the Ochils at the mo and Aviemore already has decent snow on the mountains, so it’s on the way at higher levels. Both enjoy wherever you’re going it’ll be stunning.
was gonna go to crianlarich for some hillwalking this weekend...decided not to, 30cm+ forecast, and gale force/whiteout conditions....didnt fancy that soloGreat pic Matt

I could not agree more Crianlarich is a dump, the only thing it has going for it is a fork in the road to better areas.
Sounds nice and wintery! Think north england and down is meant to thaw but scotland is staying cold? This was me on saturday living the dream
But I'd rather blue sky winter days

Small update on the bus, sorry for the bad pics!
Got the back setup how I'd imagined, false floor, dogs on top, and storage to the sides, with a spot for the big calor gas bottle to be tied down in.
Also added a drop down table to the rear door.... just a few electrical bits ti get wired in!
All in preparation for a 2 week scottish hillwalking extravaganza in April.

Great looking set up mate..Have a great adventure.
That's a fair trek from your place, stunning rugged coastline up there though - have a great time and I'll look out for your review of the trip
Nice to see your self isolating, well it looks that way buddy so thumbs up lol. Might join you as long as we maintain a 3ft gap
ideal time to own a rooftop tent!!Nice to see your self isolating, well it looks that way buddy so thumbs up lol. Might join you as long as we maintain a 3ft gap
im actually going to the wilds of scotland again, but giving the landy a break for this weekend. Gotta get one last weekend out on the hills before the inevitable happens?!?!
My thoughts exactly, I'm going though the lakes this weekend and then its all "locked in and playing monopoly" lol. Enjoy your trip mate.
