Lab 10,979 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Good bit of advice i got on here when doing Ben Nevis is "Wear lots of light layers, not large heavy gear!".......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always do this mate. Thermo vest, T shirt and light cagool(spelling) we go Canoing in all weathers. Easier to swim in too but even ferreting etc, works a treat minus the cagool of course, no poachers pocket you see lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.P.R 2,798 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Done part of the west highland way in a charity run.... we done it in 24 hours...not the whole thing, it was split up and we set off at different points along the route...dont know how far i done. The ground was pretty bad, suppose having 1000's of people, dogs and bikes up there each year takes its toll on the land. Seen a few people rough camping along the way. Comfortable footwear.....is the most important and fluids. Ive got a camelbak here you can have for newt, goes on your back or in your bag full of water. Its used but will do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wind blowing you out to sea, white waves coming all directions breaking over you, tide pulling you out, arms f****d and the shores still a good half hour away on a good day lol. Aye it has its moments but what a buzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
