The Friday Matinee!

With plans to reintroduce native species to Scotland you never know when you'll need a bit of bear advice...

It's Friday, so it must be time for the Friday Matinee, and with the good old British Summer bringing rain by the bucketful  we bring you something to kill a little time between clear spells and put a smile on your face. No mountain biking or speed climbing this weekend, but a look across the pond to see what our friends in the USA have to put up with when wild camping.


With the weather outlook for the weekend being typically wet you're not going to get much use for a solar charger, but that doesn't mean you have to drain your mobile devices......it's a bit Blue Peter, but hey you've got to find something to occupy yourself in a summer downpour.


Well as they say....that's all folks. Have a good one and stay safe out there :-)
