That is so disappointing. I've used them for some great trips, but not since covid. I see they were taken over by Inghams in 2008, who were bought by the German group Dertour this February.
By the way, their adverts for a new trip (below) show scenery that you don't encounter on the trip.

A very interesting and enjoyable talk.
Even if it made me late putting out my nightly hog food and water.

No hills today, but a very enjoyable walk around Glasgow's murals.
There is a trail on walkhighlands www.walkhighlands.co.uk/glasgow/glas... and lots more info at www.citycentremuraltrail.co.uk

The views from Ben Lomond were amazing today. Brocken spectres and fog bows too.
For one lucky lady it was her first Munro - what a way to start.

Great tips.
I have just put out my hedgehog house, so they can ignore it for another winter.
Happily they have a big brambly patch nearby that they clearly prefer.

It is not looking a good day for the hills - take care if you're out there.

The #birds are clearing out the Big Easy feeder in just under two days. It holds 1.1 kg of sunflower hearts. Busy, busy! It is especially popular with greenfinches and goldfinches. All 6 feeding ports are in constant use.

It is not a healthy sign. Seen here in a picture of our Queen, two days before she died.

Just back from a holiday in the Scottish Highlands. The mountains were lovely, but it was the neighbours who really made an impression!

My first ever sighting of a cuckoo!
Sorry for the rubbish phone photo, it was clearer through the binoculars. It was being mobbed by a small bird, perhaps a meadow pippit. #Birds

For a while Glasgow had a similar logo for options on the council's app for selecting services.

@drhedgehog.bsky.social Hi
The hedgehogs in my garden are awake again and I saw one of them do something I'd never seen before - it dragged a tray of hog food away from the hog that was eating it!

One of my favourite days out on Scottish Hills. The Corbett Leum Uilleim - one of the most remote hills in Scotland - but accessible by train to Corrour Station. 1/3 🥾

When I went out to check my trailcam, I did not understand why the #hedgehog food dish had moved a metre to the right. This video solved the puzzle! 🌿
