Wild Camping, Hiking, Back pack, Tent talk, Mini camper etc.......


Recommended Posts

Had a few days up in North Wales with my youngest lad. Few areas I hadn’t been for a while so we took a trip out. He’s been learning to map read/navigate for a few weeks so we took the map and compass for a bit of practice. Walked around to a couple of lakes and a bothy where I spent a lot of time when I was growing up. Got the cooker on for some hot grub and hot chocolate. We’ve decided to head back up in the summer, stay at the bothy and do some fishing.

Great scenery there WVM and plenty of water, at least you didn't have to take a sink for the dishes!

Stayed fairly local for this walk and had a few places I wanted to check out. Mainly places where we would camp as kids and spend all day fishing in the pools and small disused reservoirs. Nice to see a couple of nice wild brownies in the pools. Some signs of otters but the reservoirs have been drained. Apparently due to health and safety as kids were swimming in them. Thats all we ever did over the summer. Dogs were acting a bit funny in one area so I went  down to have a look. There was a wild foal (welsh mountain pony/Carneddau pony)stuck up to its knees in a bog. Poor thing was weak but managed to get it out. Took a while before he could get back on his feet and he wasn’t happy with me and the dogs being there. Checked on him on the way back down and he was back on his feet and eating. Good to walk some old ground.

      I want to purchase a pair of boots for the colder weather, I do a lot of walking, and some trekking about the hillsides and trails. I do not want "winter boots" but rather boots that would be suitable for a cold day, but would work with layers of socks rather than thick heavy boots. Several people have told me Meindl is an excellent brand, and that is great, but what kind ? Hiking ? Walking ? Do they make them that they would serve the purpose mentioned above ? Any specifics to look for in a boot for this purpose ?
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn

      Sorry gentlemen to bother you, but I have come to my wits end. My neighbour across the way lets her dog roam as it please when it comes to shitting and urination, she is too lazy to actually take the dog out herself. He seems to have taken to my property and a certain area just under my bedroom window. I do not want to hurt the dog for the sake of her ignorance, but I do very much need to stop him from doing it any longer. The grass and  the shrubs are dying and turning brown and the flowers are just rank with smell that floats up through my bedroom window.
      He is a VERY OVERWEIGHT beagle and leaves behind some damn good deposits.
      I am wondering short of doing something stupid, what can I do to deter the dog from that area or any patches of garden I have? I plan to go to the council about the problem, and lay some of it on the town manager who is an acquaintance of mine, but in the meantime, any tricks out there to make my flowers and bushes unsavoury.
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn
