Wainwright’s Coast to Coast

/ Walking / , , ,

We are just getting into the final planning stages for the West Highland Way walk in about six weeks time – and whilst going through the maps and other documents for the walk, on my laptop, I came across the document I wrote after completing Wainwright’s Coast to Coast.

The information is from the summer of 2008 but it should still offer an insight to walk for those thinking about doing it. I have put a link to the .pdf file on the Downloads page and the here.

Podcast

/ Technology / ,

I synced my iPhone with iTunes, on my return last night, after three weeks I needed to back it up – but it also uploaded the latest podcasts.

Today was catch up day, at work, which meant driving to a number of clients to get jobs up and running for the coming weeks – that gave me time to listen to some of these podcasts. I listened to Escape Pod and was reminded by two stories why it is one of my favourite podcasts. So if you like good science fiction stories then check out the episodes; EP306 Radio Nowhere by Douglas Smith and EP305 Midnight Blue by Will McIntosh.

Glencoe – Lunch

We found somewhere to park along the route for a lunch stop.

A brew up and a chance to fill the flask for later. We really needed the extra wind shield in addition to the “built in” wind shield on the Crusader Burner – even so the wind was strong enough to push the flames onto the hardboard base and set it alight! The Crusader Mug lid I had made for me was also essential to get the pot to boil – thanks Mark – get yours here, from The Little Frog Group.

Small change of plans in the end, there were severe hold ups on the motorways around Glasgow, so we headed across to Perth on the A85 and then on down the A1 eventually.

And a photo in England.
