  Spending two weeks in Scotland over Xmas and NYE.

  First week with the fam staying near Aberfeldy/Pitlochry - recommendations for nice long winter walks that don’t require knowledge of axe arrests/wearing crampons?

  Week two with my partner - we’ll be in Aviemore for a night, Clachaig Inn for another, bothies for the rest (though not sure which). Classic winter routes please!! Both competent climbers/walkers/comfortable on snow.

  Thanks

  Hi, looking for a 3-wheel box-front cargo bike to use for some pop up events at work.

  Christiania bike is preferable as I know the bikes well, but happy to consider something else if the price is right.. 3 gears fine, but the more the better! Would ideally be something that we can modify ourselves, and needs to be three wheeled for stability while stationary – will have lots of people leaning on it etc!

  Anyone have any leads? Thanks

  After running 100k Race to the Stones in July, I haven’t had much motivation to run anymore! I was so sick of training by the end and the only runs I really enjoy now are hilly trail runs - never want to run up the river Lea again...

  So any recommendations for trail events within easy public transport distance from London? Looking for something low key and cheap, around 21k or less and maybe self navigated. Did the Gatliff marathon in Edenbridge last November and loved it, so something similar to that would be great.

  Anyone interested in a small Alpkit bouldering mat? Hardly seen any use at all and stored in a warm dry place. Has back straps and handles for easy carrying. It’s a taco style mat and most similar to the ‘Phud’ mats Alpkit now sell. £50 ono

  Also have a pair of 5.10 Guide Tennies to sell. In VGC. Too big for me at size 6.5/eu40. £45 posted

  Happy to bring it to an east London wall (HWBP, Stronghold, Mile End, Castle, Yonder etc). Thanks

  Any tips on where to buy new rope at discount? Or, if anyone’s familiar with Chamonix, are there any shops with good deals?! The only one I know is Snell Sports - incredibly well stocked, but not cheap!
