        Having been there before I know not to have any expectations of what it's like. However, it works out a bit easier to end there rather than at Cape Wrath.

          I wish I could say the same. I don't find IT dev or financial systems particularly stimulating, but certainly more tolerable than many other jobs and very very good for paying the bills!

              Can be rather exciting if there's any bombing practice in progress!

                No, trail shoes (I went for Asics in the end), sun hoodie and Turmat meals (I only have enough fuel to boil water).
