People forget that 'wilderness' and 'beautiful countryside' aren't necessarily synonymous. It isn't necessary to get away from all traces of human civilisation to enjoy a new and interesting part of the world. In fact often it's more interesting if there IS civilisation. A tree's a tree, we've all seen forests and rocks and beaches before. Whether they're 100 miles from the nearest mobile phone signal or just on the outskirts of a picturesque little village is immaterial really
Aha! Right I've cracked your first tour for you.
Packed up and ready to go, just PM your address, is a turbo, a very big fan, a shower attachment and a laptop.
You will need to setup the turbo in your bath with the shower attachment and fan pointing at you and in site of the laptop.
Once setup, you are ready for your first tour. I will be your guide and the tour you are doing is the highlands of Scotland (you're going to be making a lot of use of the shower). Instructions will come via the laptop which will have transmitted to it, pictures, resistance settings, wind and rain instructions and heatstrokes (you'll need your own fan heater, sorry). Being as it's your first tour, we will do no more than 6 hours in the saddle over a 5 day period. Normal sleeping and eating patterns will apply and you can nip down the local for a swifty at the end of the day. Just be ready for an 8am start.
So that's the Highlands, volunteers required for other areas please?
