Good friends and family are here:
Logsrus, Plastic Buddha, Wild & Fruitful, Crofton Plants & Tessa Kennedy; how diverse are they?
I have a brother apparently in charge of the Abernethy Outdoor Centres,

A new base for me in the Swiss Alps (watch my website for developments!)

I support The John Muir Trust and the Mountain Bothies Association, have a look and see what they do.

Like any outdoor person, I'm a bit obsessed with the weather. Get these:

Mark Stronge is worth a visit, and local to the Lakes

The Met Office has regional forecasts, synoptic charts and a lot of other stuff if you're heading abroad, or to sea even.

Scottish weather here or here, and Scottish avalanche conditions. Oh, and this might be helpful.


If you’re planning being out at night, check out the moonlight

Go to UKC for a rant or a chuckle; for insurance & current affairs: B.M.C.

Health Information for travelling abroad here or here

Shop at Outside Edge, and Needle Sports

And finally for now Who Owns Scotland to see whose land you'll be tramping over next weekend.

Oh, and if you have time, play Whack the Penguin

Enjoy!
