Online maps!
30 May 2008 13:57:44 GMT
I thought "Ah! I can check how big a river is and whether the
bridges marked on the OS map still exist." How wrong I was :-(
The resolution available for northern Scotland is dire, in both
Google and Multimap, though Google allows me to zoom in beyond
the resolution it has.

Nick Maclaren. ...

Campsites in Scotland, some ramblings
Thu, 29 May 2008 19:43:58 GMT
Hi all,
We've had a wonderful month of May in Scotland, and I've managed to
get out onto the hills a few times this month. Some have entailed
camping at recognised sites, and I just thought I'd share my thoughts.
We've stayed at the Auchnahillin site at Daviot. We think this has
been taken over recently and t ...

Amble from Amberley along the South Downs
Thu, 29 May 2008 17:33:22 +0100
Well, seeing as I had to visit that great outdoor boot shop Peglers at
Arundel today, thought it would be silly not to take advantage of a walk on
the South Downs east of Amberley. Great area to walk. So, as Clare headed
west to work, I headed east to Amberley ................. great this
retirement!

of maps and bus stops
Thu, 29 May 2008 09:16:32 +0100
Just looking at Google Maps and Multimap.
Google satellite view shows cars near my house that were sold at least 2
years ago.
MM shows a car that was bought 3 months ago, so MM is much mor recent. The
satellite view is clearer than GM but not so close.
Now bus stops: GM shows 4 pairs in my village. Two pairs ...

Ping Peter Clinch re sandals
Wed, 28 May 2008 22:46:17 +0100
Hi Peter,
I'm looking to replace my sandals. I looked at the Teva Terra F1s but I
thought the sole is not a very deep tread - have you heard anything about
the Karrimor Kiwi? The sole looks much deeper and grippier than the Teva....

More cheapo gear
Wed, 28 May 2008 11:13:27 -0700 (PDT)
My local Lidl is selling off cheap two person tents, bit of an odd
design, small dome with long, low extension for the feet. reduced to
19.99. Not really the job for a solo backpacker, but I would give one
a go for two people walking and camping together.
Netto has some cheap trangia clones, by no means the lig ...
