« on: January 31, 2013 »
Hi all,
My name is Ruth, 25 and I'm from the North Coast.  I'm lucky to be able to enjoy walking many parts of the coast line!  I would love to meet up with like minded people and explore new areas to hike!  I've just recently agreed to walk the West Highland Way in August (mad I know!) so I would appreciate any training/advice thrown my way!!
Looking forward to future hikes with you!
Ruth

Welcome Ruth. Fair Head has been on my list for an overnight for years, maybe you can point us towards any nice spots!

August! A Midge head net and repellent are a must. A tick remover too.

No idea what your setup is etc but 'go light or go home' is my motto :)

Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone!!
I love Fair head - Grey Man's path is a must!!  There are a few spots for camping but if you preferred some home comforts there are a few National Trust cottages you could rent for the night!!  Let me know if you get it organised and I will def join you!!
