nonnaB 4,893 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Travelling with Compo without moving from your own home. They are really fantastic views and nice to see a bit of history too. There must be loads of undiscovered places up there in the north of Scotland. Keep them coming they're the type of photos we love to see. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 This one's for Beekay. The newly constructed footbridge over Ousdale Burn at the bottom of the gorge. Note "1 person at a time, please". It's quite flimsy but does the job. I crouched on this bridge when taking the photo of the burn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hillwalking in Scotland always carries teh risk of hill fog. It is essential that walkers learn compass reading skills before cventuring out alone. Here's a photo of a typical summer day in the mountains: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
