Tea?

[Bobby Mhor]

Smaller space to heat, and you can limit any breeze inwards in a tent. A solid roof over yer head in snow, I'd agree is preferable to canvas. It gives a reassurance that a tent can't.
Rain, a lot, on this island, never!! Don't seem to get the snowfall we did back then, you should be safer now.
Did you ever try swapping weeks, just to catch the weather out? Was every second week the plan when you started, or did it sorta fall that way. Away from the city, into the fresh country air. At one with nature...
You'd do it again if able?

She knew she was getting in with someone with wandering fever then. In a tent any bad habits really can't be ignored either. Suppose you also used campsites that had showers and water on tap as well...
Peat bogs, could be fun getting back to the tent from the pub!

Enjoy yer days jaunt...

Tent to pub 3 mil...
Bothy to Pub - 1.8 ml..
Obviously, we walked out to the road...
We did visit other 'establishments', but the thumb out for that and it was no problem either way....
Glencoe was the alternate weekend as I met up with the future Mrs M the other weekend(s)
I was introduced to the hills at a very, very early age, and it stuck.
My pal's grandad would hoist a full bergen on his back and off we would go for a few nights away.
It would have been better if no midges...
They were a scourge in my life until I found a haven here (avoiding them).

Owdo
You've been listening to those forecasters again!
Doubt I'll get all hot and bothered...

In the low 20s here, still too warm..

From yer tent to the pub, but back to the bothy? Saving a mile of walking time.
Obviously, easier going with the chance of a lift for yon weary travellers.
What establishments lay within walking range to the west?
When you weren't doing yer DJ'ing at the fading holiday campsite. I keep getting this picture of you doing yer Gladys Pugh impression.
You going to take yer mates dad lead and introduce Toodles & Co. to the hills.
The free air, no one around you, and them. You in the caravan, them in their tent.
The freely available food source, just fling around...
You moved to get away from the midges. Did you leave them a forwarding address...

Mid 20's, with promises of low 30's tomorrow, We'll see.

Toodles's dad has well over 180 Munros under his belt...
I'll leave it to him..
Mind you, they can be soft nowadays..
I was telling Mrs M about my first two weeks under canvas with my dad...
Tent costs 14/10d out of the pawn shop..
A couple of ex-army grey blankets were our sleeping bag....

Opened a can of Blood Moon...
Jeez, was wary but better than the previous one, still it has berry and ginger flavours....
four cans of Leeds brew to go...
The things we do for science......aaah.

You'll not go along, in the car, to offer encouragement and be waiting for them when they get back.
Air mattresses, self inflating some of them, waterproofs that aren't boil in the bag when worn... Lightweight tents.
I had luxury in comparison to you then. A genuine old fashioned square cut sleeping bag for my first camping trip. Supplied by local authority to schools and youth clubs, for a fee of course.

You wanna watch for the blood moon. Can be a sign of bad weather.
A few left. You're going too fast in this experiment. You need to be able to repeat it for it to be scientific. Use them all and yer science experiment comes to a halt, with no proof of success or failure...
