Oh yes, but there were no freezers up the mountain.

I did find this special wee fella though

I liked him alot. He kept cleaning his nose and was one of about 50, but for me he was the best.

I did one north of Loch Leven in Fife and then some in the Trossachs. It was fantastic. I was fully laden with a front and rear bergen, about 60 litres in total, just to get it 'fitted', as it were so now the straps etc are adjusted very nicely. My boots did me proud too, very comfy.

I shall be up there again very soon.

Nice one Boddie, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Bye the way, I hope there was a decided lack of media types up there in Fife

[Boddie]

Yeah I did not see any of them. Havent seen the news but word up there is that the swan was 'deed' already and was washed up deed on the beach. The locals reckon that it died elsewhere and the currents brought it to shore.

[Jonny]

Sounds like a goodun Boddie. Were you wild camping...............Jon

[Boddie]

No I did not camp. I was staying with family so returned every night.

I took all of the kit so that I could get it fitted properly and so that I could get a good workout. I was able to carry another 20 kilos, all my camping gear on my back, including the thermarest, sleeping bag etc and all my camera gear, binos etc in the front bergan, plus some extra clothes. Its the first time I tried the bergan on the back and the webbing for the front together but it worked out very well. Now I know that when I need to rely on it it will be good for the weekend - a good long mountain trek some weekend soon. Hopefully Scotland again

Scotlands great ain't it.....................Jon

Nice one Boddie.........is there any room left for me in your Bergen?

[Boddie]

Yep its a different standard. I will be getting involved in plenty of activities this summer. Maybe Wales this weekend I think.
