  3. I didn’t go to early today mate , I seen one group of walkers and a fell runner and a pair of walkers and they was all on pennine way . So wasn’t too bad tbh
  4. Add a circular up on moors walk the turkey sausage sarnis off. Went up on the pennine way past Holme Mast weather station and looped round to wrigleys cabin and black hill summit . Back in the day before the ban when was legal , we used go hareing up ere for blues . Sadly didn’t see even one today, but got some good memories from back in the day.

  7. We add a week at Blair Athol ourselves. My friend who passed away used to do the ferreting for a Cheshire hawking club , they used to go to Biggar. He would ferret all day and they wud let him lamp his dog on the night. I never got an invite as I was considered a bit of a rogue by a few members lol . I did go up on my own tho at some point and met sarah Moffat through my mate .
  8. Great pics Phil, who can forget old speckle and spud . Atb
  9. I know we're your coming from and I get it. But I put that to the side to listen to a very interesting man.
  10. I think if I remember right Brian was big into gosses ? And a very respected falconer
  11. When I went there was 2 pubs on island one open one shut, a chippy that only opened on certain days . One farm that gave us permo had an ambulance on it and was the islands resident ambulance. I have fond memories of that trip as it was the last big trip I had with my long term hunting partner of over 30 yrs before he sadly died of cancer a few years later. He had been to Scotland with me numerous times and we had numerous escapades out poaching over the years . But the memories live on
  12. Deffo pal ! I could deffo lead a Spartan life up there for sure. Interestingly [BANNED TEXT] I was on sanday I was ferreting and the wind was blowing a hoolie and cutting into us , I bolted a curlew from a warren
  13. We never got masses up there, but like high 30,s. We was only young and I remember drying to drag the rabbits off in post office sacks lol. If I go yeah deffo pics
  14. Got a few old pics myself of my old collie bitch up mallam. I used to love it up there, love the scenery, all the rocks and limestone slabs, looked like a moonscape in places if ya get my drift. I may go back and wild camp it, bit of nolstalga maybe.
  15. I did hear along them lines. To be completely honest Mac I can't remember. I bet Lee Stroud should be good.
  16. As he was coming on stage it showed some footage on screen behind him. A bit was of him training and he was marching up a heather hill at a fair old pace with 2 car tyres behind him on chains. And he looked well in his late 60s in the clip !!!
  17. I must admit it was short and I felt there was a whole boat load of interesting stories to be told. I also went to an evening with Ant Middleton here as well and enjoyed that too. Back in the 90,s me and a mate got tickets to see an evening with Plummer at a working men's club in Wrexham . But at the last minute he got ill and cancelled so Gary Hosker was his stand inn.
  18. Yeah I agree , what a mind set he has !!!!!
  19. Yeah went sanday but it had been hammered mate by time we got there . But I did love the islands . I think Scotland is our truly last wild place .
