  3. @blgpackinglight give her a rub under the chin and a cuddle.
  4. @PeakRambler sounds good. I like Kingussie.
  5. @MidgeForecast @tookiebunten @grahameboath I'm gonna risk it and be smidge free on this trip as heading off early. I'll camp high!
  6. @GrahameBoath @tookiebunten @midgeforecast is there a Tiso on way to Callander from south?
  7. @tookiebunten @midgeforecast @grahameboath luckily the forecast is low. I wonder where you can buy smidge from.........?
  8. @PeakRambler just west of killin.
  9. @Rye1966 @munro277 @oookworks I will do the special midge dance when pitching my shelter. It involves the flapping of arms.
  10. @PeakRambler will walk till tired and then pitch, no set mileage for each day.
  11. @Rye1966 @oookworks cheers mate, will do. Summits will be best.
  12. @munro277 @oookworks he will be having a weekend of luxury on the sofa and bed with my partner instead!
  13. @Rye1966 @oookworks I'm aiming as high as possible if no breeze. Looking forward to playing with new oooknest.
  14. @PeakRambler will do, looking toward to the wild camps.
  15. @munro277 Damn those midges!
  16. @munro277 @OookWorks Reuben is staying at home. I worry about him picking up ticks in the Highlands in the summer.
  17. @HelenJFisher Indeed I will, got 6 books on my kindle to read so lots of sitting / laying down reading as well as walking!
  18. My plan involving 6 Munros and 5 Corbetts is now looking a bit ambitious. What if the first pitch is so inviting I dont move for days?.....
  19. @OookWorks Indeed I am. Was going to take my scarp but the new arrival this morning needs testing on the hills. I'll wave as I pass on M6.
  20. @northernfall cool, cheers Charlie. I have a looksie as I sit down later this evening.
