@ScotRail So ive arranged transport to Fort William when i could have taken the train from my front door and ive paid for a bus ticket for my retirn journey in case the app is accurate and my booked train for tomorrow is cancelled.

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

@ScotRail Im sorry but they are not updated correctly at all. The west highland service to Ggow from Mallaig did go from Mallaig not Ft William. We did not get a bus from Crianlairich although at 2 minutes notice we had to change to the Oban train. V hard to plan without accurate info.

@jamesthacker Just need to actually release them now! And what's with those tights? Is it the '80s again?!? :-)

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

@natalie_a_berry Huge congrats Nat. And such a cool place. My wife proposed to me after we abseiled off after she’d led her first Grade V winter route, the second ascent of a new route done the day before. Glad yours will be equally memorable. All the best for you both in the future.

Yesterday exploring.

The mountains remain a potentially risky place to work. If you are a mountain professional, you may feel this more than most…

@AlanHalewood from Climb When You're Ready and Calum and Robert from @Climb_scotland delivered CWI Training last weekend and some of our staff and volunteers attended, thank you for this opportunity 🙏

@Lakes_Lina There is signage (you have to look a bit to find it) asking you to use the Ringo app to pay either a 1 hr (£1) or 1 day charge (£3). No overnight parking (but that doesn’t work with folk up at the CIC). Many aren’t seeing signage or are ignoring.

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

@theiaincameron Oh i know, this so triggers me!!!

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

@msbjacobs @theiaincameron @BBCWthrWatchers Fortunately it’s anther pillar just next to the summit.

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

@mtnsofscotland Hi there, i did a possible new route today and a picture of yours at https://t.co/ETCn4PR5Hh shows the line well. May i have your permission to share the image on social media to report and show the line?

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

@Smart_Climbing @the_AMI @MT_Association @Team_BMC It certainly is. Essential reading for coaches and Instructors. :-)

@MtnAssurance @ArcGuiding @BBCRadio4 Exactly, if our gut is wrong and we let it tell us to back off we win either way. If our gut is wrong and we let it tell us to go ahead you risk an incident. So only use it to say "no go"? RP DM needs lots of experience+quality feedback/reflection/understanding and awareness.

@lakapajama Always better to walk away when conditions aren’t right. We were lucky with a lovely day.

[Alan Halewood @AlanHalewood]

Good value light on the hill today.
