Hey, I'm in. When abouts are you thinking?

Right folks,

I know this won't be too helpful to our transatlantic cousins, but I was wondering if anyone knew how possible/easy it was to hammock your way through the West Highland Way? I've done...

We really do need to set up a thread for good hanging spots up here, don't we? It looks grand, though, Shaman, I'm jealous!

Woohoo! Another one of us! Greetings from the east coast. :D

And a DD veteran too, does it get better? ;)

Oh, hey! Sugarloaf! Glad to see someone's making use of it. :D Great hang!

1) Not that I know of,
2) As 1
3)Uh...
4) Sure- but do you lot down in ye olde Englandville have the landscape for it? ;)
Joking aside though, the englanders I've spoken to about hammocking have...

I think he's right on this one. Spending time hiking in the Whites, I'd say that where you're not below tree line (which isn't often on the AT to be fair) there's a hut nearby, and the staff are...

Welcome from north of the border! :D

Hello from the Central Belt!

There seems to be a rapidly growing collection of us. If you're confused (Like I was... who am I kidding, still more-than-occasionally am) set half a day aside and...

Hello from the central belt!

Hows the highlands for hanging so far? I've been wanting to get up your way, just havent quite found the time yet >.<

Anyways- Welcome!

Hammocking. Approved by Whedon. - Here comes the squee...

It's also worth noting that any marine warfare/master and commander/hornblower type stuff will mention hammocks, as they were used below...

It's called Duct Tape. Lots. And Lots. Of Duct tape. ;)

The only thing that I can add is that doing my Wilderness First Aid in Maine the year before last, the instructor was very negative about space blankets, expecially when you're talking about having...

We're all thinking about this the wrong way. Clearly the gentleman involved is supposed to be some kind of expert, so for the sake of argument, we'll say that he's 'Clever'.

In that case, it's...

Hello, Hello, Hello!

As you can see, we're all very unfriendly folk here. Keep to ourselves, preserve the secrets of hanging... Naaahhh. I've not been here long, but I guarentee you'll like it....

Hello!

Welcome, from the Central Belt :D

(We do seem to be invading, don't we?)

Hello from the Heathen North!

Nope, you're not alone! Welcome from the other side of the border!

Did most of my camping up in Maine in and around the AT. Not gonna lie, it's not much different than here. Think Scotland on Steroids- the mosquitos are as vicious as midges, and if anything there...

I was actually looking at the upland way the other day- awfully tempted to go AWOL from the rest of the world and go hiking for a while! How did/do you find it?

Ah, hello! There seem to be three of us from north of the border now! Barely a minority anymore ;)

You're right about the football team thing, that said, unlike in Glasgow there's no penalty for...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Scotchbonnet- I may take you up on that in the future, I've been mostly out of country when I'm hiking, so I'd be thrilled to soak up any hints/suggested...

Hello M'dears!

I've been sneaking around HF for a while now, and to celebrate the fact I'm about to invest in my first hammock (Probably a DD Travel Hammock, given that I'm paranoid enough to love...
