It would be a sad day.  Let's hope the various interest groups can exert some influence.  I've already alerted the MBA, because it would presumably mean no access to Kearvaig.

There's a road from Morar village along the north shore of Loch Morar as far as Bracorina, and then a good path to Tarbet. From there a path leads east along the south shore of Loch Nevis, but I believe it peters out after the cottages at Kyles Morar. I've never walked right round the head of Loch Nevis from here, but I believe others have - but it could well be hard going.

Once at the head of Loch Nevis, there is a good path over Mam Meadall down to Inverie. The obvious overnight spot is at Sourlies Bothy, at the head of Loch Nevis. It's very small, but if it's crowded there's good space to pitch your tent.

Thanks all - some interesting ideas there. I'm an inverted snob about labels, so the Karrimor appeals! Keep 'em coming!

Hi All. Mrs Sailor says I look a right scruff in my old red Berghaus Goretex waterproof, and when am I going to get a new one? Trouble is, they all seem to be eye-wateringly expensive (i.e. £200 - £300+ !!)

Any suggestions as to where to get something that will do a good job, probably Goretex, eVent or Neo-shell, but that won't require me to take out another mortgage? Under £200 would be very nice..... Thanks.

Daily mental work is important - we're training our dog to do the Times 'Fiendish' sudoku before breakfast every morning.
