Best Wishes for 2009
Before the Hogmanay celebrations get going may I take this opportunity of wishing all the readers of this website a very prosperous New Year. The media keep telling us that it’s going to be very difficult in 2009 but if things start to get too tough there’s always the hills and trails…
I prefer to look on the bright side and if the pound is poor against the dollar and the Euro then simply stay at home and enjoy our own hills. Why not try the Sutherland Trail? BTW the telly programme is on BBC i-Player until Friday 2nd. Check it out, then plan a trip to the North-West of Scotland. You won’t be disappointed. Best wishes to all of you and thanks for all your support during 2008!

Cheers Cameron,
And the same to you.
I watched the show and enjoyed it, I just wish we had something more regular dedicated to walking in Scotland.

happy & properous new year to you also. I don’t normally do this but having just watched the Sutherland Trail I thought I had to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Its given me itchy feet. I must pull my boots on again and start working off some of the Christmas and New Year excess.
Great programme can we have some more of the same please!!

Thanks Bill. Appreciate you writing. I’ll pass your comments on to the BBC - they’ll decide if there will be more of the same. I sincerely hope so…

Cameron - loved the Sutherland show. It’s my favourite part of the country. And yes, it would be great to have a follow up.
I was really surprised at the small pack you were carrying. Which tent and sleeping bag were you using?
Cheers,
John.

Many thanks for the kind comments. Appreciate it.
The tent I used was an MSR Hubba - very light and comparatively roomy. I used a Go-Lite sleeping bag but I’m afraid I can’t remember which one. Afraid I’m not very good with product names. Also used a coca-cola can meths stove and a GoLite Jam pack.
