Coast to coast
Sun, 6 Sep 2009 18:43:35 -0700 (PDT)
We are planning to do Wainwrights coast to coast in 2010 and would
like to hear from those who have undertaken this walk on a supported
basis, ie baggage handling and accomodation organised after each
section. In particular which companies are doing this and who are to
be recommended.
Cheers

Arran hills. Unfortunately, the landlords have spoilt it with dozens of
GOML signs - possibly the worst example of GOML activity I have come
across. Definitely bad karma.

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 11:04:24 +0100
Just in case you're still working with an older OS map and are
being tempted into designing a route that incorporates the ferry
across Loch Broom, be advised that it no longer exists. It hasn't
actually existed for about 5 years now but the signs have only just
been put up this year.

Mount Ararat

I've recently come back from a holiday in Turkey visiting Cappadocia, the
Taurus Mountains and Mount Ararat. The Taurus Mountains are spectacularly
jagged - they are only about 60 million years old. We climbed Mount
Embler, which at 3723 m is the second-highest peak in the region after
Mount Demirkazik. We travell ...

This might be of use to some on this goup. It's free at

There's also Radiology Anatomy Atlas Viewer - probably of more limited
interest!

Off to the Lake District on Saturday for a couple of weeks, and in the

from the car park ...
