  1. Cul Beag,Assynt 769m Any hill in this or the Torridon area gives great rewards if the weather is good.Only problem is some of them have a fairly long walk in.to avoid this most folk opt for Stac pollaidh,which is at the roadside.Down side to Stac,is that just before the summit,there is a tricky,exposed section which stops a lot of people carrying on to the summit,thereby blocking views out West Cul beag is a fine alternative,situated just before Stac pollaidh on the road round to Achiltibuie,and as good a viewpoint.The tourist route up is from the roadside,following a path(shown on OS map) along the base of the western side of Cul Beag,before a seperate path turns off and starts a very steep ascent to the summit. I avoided this by parking at the East end of Loch Lurgainn,and following a more gentle ascent to the summit http://IMG_1702 by [/url], on Flickr Bit rough at the start,but dry.Kept to the Loch Lurgainn side all the way up IMG_1701 by , on Flickr IMG_1705 by , on Flickr Turned rightish angles to get to the summit IMG_1710 by , on Flickr Timed it to watch a fine sunset go down beyond Stac Pollaidh and the Hebrides beyond.Took 1.5 hours up,and an hour down just before dark.Great hill Stac Pollaidh about to erupt on the way down IMG_1800 by , on Flickr
  2. I would go with similar to Ricos team.Do we play Stockley or Maynard because were 'supposed' to play a recognised striker?.I thought both were like a square peg in a round hole last week.If McInnes has seen a major improvement in Maynard since last week,then play him,otherwise he's too big a risk. And a combo of Maclean,Christie,GMS and Stewart in the mid/forward areas i think would create more opportunities by not having the hopeful lob to Stockley option.Intelligent,quick thinking guys...
  3. The Exchange,Academy st should have it on,or try the Auctioneers,Church St....
  4. Looking a bit cooler for this one,ie upper 20's I'd be tempted to drop the 'recognised' strikers(probably why Im no manager),maybe bring in Tansey,move Maclean further up and give the others free reign attacking wise.It could be argued GMS,Christie,Stewart etc have as much if not more striker instinct then our actual strikers.Certainly think they'd be more on the same wavelength as far as developing attacks?

  6. Wasnt a huge fan of Radiohead,but they had a bit of originality/creativity IMO This may be a bit controversial but for me Oasis The Rolling stones The Beatles All the above had a few songs I liked,but the majority of their others(IMO),were run of the mill,back of a fag packet dross.....Sorry
  7. Just back - They were good at times,but not as good as I thought theyd be.Tidy going forward,but goal aside they didnt create too much,and when they did,it was often a result of bad decisions from us. There were some good signs from us in the forward areas,some spells of clever play,and some untidy/dodgy moments in defence and midfield,hopefully improve in all areas as we go.Despite Maynards performance,I think we can get more from him,maybe he was trying too hard? Saying that,I wouldnt be averse to dropping all the recognised strikers and bring in Wright to the line up instead.We were more dangerous when we we're moving the ball about quickly,on the deck Agree with Ladettes comment about the atmosphere,for what was at stake,we could have cranked it up(myself included) more in the quieter spells. Tasty battle to look forward to though. COYR
  8. ^^^ the tensions unbearable, COY107R,...er COY81R then... In or Oot - In Furryboots - SS section R Pre - Train Post - swifty at the station,then train Prediction - Will take a 2-1 Enjoy the occasion loons,COYR
  9. ^^^Thats the conclusion Ive been coming to the last while.Stripping Oldco of titles would be the more appealing to folks,but we need to make the effort to make change at the top. Need to get our Donstalk heads together to be clear what is the right action we think needs to be taken,and send a combined DonsTalk statement to DST,and try and convince the other forums(and other clubs)why they should get involved. Has to be seen to be solely about justice https://www.facebook.com/DonsSupportersTogether/
  10. If Maloney is still an option,would an offer like that ^^^ not then rule out Maloney. Would sacrifice Maloney if it meant we could get Moult.
