Carrick Way by

Has anyone walked any of the new Carrick Way in South Ayrshire? I ask to
find out about the condition of the route, as I walked a few miles along the
Barr to Girvan section earlier in the week. Paths were sometimes difficult
to follow, and non existent in places, though it was quite well marked,...

Long distance walk with baby carriage by
Christopher Loffredo
We'd like to do a long-distance walk with our 7 month old using a baby
carriage (she's too young for a baby rucksack and a front carrier would
be too hard on our backs), preferably in Scotland or Wales.
We're experienced and equipped walkers and wild is a plus, but baby
logistics and safety...

Scotish Place Names by
[email protected]
When in Wales I have a reference book that explains the pronunciation
of Welch place names but I have never found an equivalent that
explains how to pronounce Scotish mountain/loch names.
Does anyone know of one?

Sign by

Just finished picking off Deweys near Corris in North Wales. Saw a sign on a

looked like a red heart on top of him. Anyone know what it means please.

Ba bridge is a good spot (though absolute midge hell in August)

department. I haven't yet found any exposed walking or...
