Thank you @outdoorscots for your article in @TheScotsman Magazine this weekend. A great title and a brilliant read, that pulls out some of my favourite bits of the book @Off_Piste_Perf

An update on Mar'verick's movements, the white-tailed eagle who fledged from Mar Lodge in 2022. In 2024 he has spent most of his time in the northern Cairngorms but made periodic forays west as far as north-west Skye and north of Ullapool. Thanks to @RSPBScotland for the map.

Now that’s what I call a bombproof anchor. @HMCoastguard putting in the training hours for all those crag snatches and pick ups. No climber wants to see these caped hero’s in a profession capacity but reassuring to know they are loitering in the background.

Maddening and frustrating, but probably due to ignorance (and laziness) rather than badness. Please spread the word if you know anyone thinking about using bothies: rubbish in toilets can - ultimately -close a toilet and endanger a bothy. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=…

Deadwood: When are you going to tidy up?

“All those trees that were blown over. Are you going to do anything with them?” It’s a question I occasionally get asked by visitors to the ranger hut. Storm Arwen did for quite a few big old trees...
