It took two days to drive up from London with an overnight on the shores of Loch Lomond.
To access the Whitbread Wilderness, we had to carry a signed permit from the estate factor, on the understanding that this was a “once in a lifetime” access opportunity.

The very first hill I ever climbed in Scotland. That was 52 years ago - it was instrumental in my moving away from my home in London and making a wonderful new life eventually in Scotland. Thanks for posting this.

That had better not be a spoiler! I haven’t watched it yet. #bowline

The shirt is so brand new out of the package, it’s even still got the creases in it!

It’s night time now so some of the wee faeries have put their lights on. 😂😂

Orange/red from Sahara sand. It’s interesting when snow/ice climbing in Scotland.

A really good thing for AI to do would be to train it to recognise an AI contribution and flag it up so you wouldn’t have to waste your valuable time doing that for yourselves.
That might work in the short term until AI conclusively passes the (written) Turing test…🙁

My brolly will be of no use in the strengthening winds you are predicting…..😂😂

For those who aren’t familiar with Calum’s Road, there is a book devoted to the subject, and a Wikipedia entry:

That’s called pedal assist. Legal on roads, just like any other pedal cycle. Are you thinking of illegal imports and conversion kit bikes with unregulated chargers & batteries?
Or perhaps illegal electric motor bikes used by phone thieves?
Ultimately, a poor “joke” that you should be ashamed of.
