@steamingboots Super stuff 👌🏻👌🏻

@anne3366 I always thought you should twist them out rather than cut them in half 😏

@Spurtle284 @theiaincameron On OS maps the name Arkle is assigned to a subsidiary summit while the Corbett is unnamed.

Snow patch in a gulley today on eastern slopes of Arkle (The mountain not the Corbett). Probably 0.5m thick in middle @theiaincameron

@TGOMagazine @benphotostudio I love that view of the Torridon hills from the north taken from the flat rocky “Giant’s Putting Green” summit of Beinn a’Chearcaill.

[Ian Baines @Ian_Baines]

@80_mcswan Yes

@stephenfry @BorisJohnson This says it all.

[Parody Ken Clarke @MrKennethClarke]

If the answer is Boris Johnson, you haven’t understood the question.

@Cairngorm22 @theiaincameron I agree. Brilliant classic and so well written. And the original 1925 version is definitely the one to have.

@Macinnesplant @angie_weather @ThePhotoHour @StormHour @VisitScotland Beautiful 😍😍

@EduTurn @theiaincameron You don't need any network coverage to use a phone as a navigation device. I always carry a power bank which can do many recharges. On a recent backpacking trip in Lochaber, I used my Garmin GPS and/or phone over four days with a powerbank and still had over 50% power left.

@jamesmforrest @NaturalEngland @davemacfarlane Might seem unfashionable these days when phone cameras are so widespread but always have a real camera with me.

WORDS FAIL ME ! Spray painted graffiti on the, to many of us, iconic rocks along Striding Edge. This is close to the Chimney or Bad Step. I think that our followers will share my outrage - but can anyone explain how this is remotely socially or environmentally acceptable? Jon

Extraordinary letter in @ft from former UK defence attaché at Moscow embassy - we warned you about Putin but you listened to the City instead

Really brilliant visualisation:

[Kirstin Ferguson @kirstinferguson]

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

@AdventurerNic @komoot It was a really stunning view 👍🏻

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

The UK government has stopped accepting visa applications from all Ukrainians who do not have a close British family member living in Ukraine.

This will prevent Ukrainian refugees from coming to the UK, including those with family here.

This is completely inhumane.

@c_e_white Crumble is just as good 😀

[Ian Baines @Ian_Baines]

@c_e_white I’d always go for pie with blackberries

@becky_traveller There’s nothing wrong with hiking in the rain if you’re prepared for it. In fact I quite enjoy it.
