  1. I was gonna say High Valleyfield. I've been through it twice, first time about 8 years ago or something, and it was the most depressing place I've ever been in, an utter shitehole as well. Then the last time I went through it was about 4years ago, and they'd built some smart new houses etc in, and it generally looked a better place. Suppose it couldn't of gotten any worse :rolleyes:

    What doesn't help High Valleyfield's case is that Low Valleyfield (ironically) is actually quite nice as well as Culross just down the road. I went cycling through the 'country park' there when I was younger and got chased out by neds with big f**k off sticks they'd ripped off the trees because I wasn't from there. If I lived anywhere near HV then I'd write to Willie Rennie MP and demand a 20ft wall be erected around the place. They've even got their own medical centre to stop the junkies walking too far.

    Oakley up the road however I'd have to nominate as the slighty worse of the two. Apparently the rivalry between the two villages is rather fierce. When I was in Dunfermline, Queen Anne was one of the biggest schools in Scotland yet only two folk (it might even have been one!) went onto to do their Highers. Not going to get any better obviously as nobody can get out.

  2. Watched The Pianist the other night - crackin' film, with the old guy in the wheelchair getting thrown over the balcony being the most memorable bit - "Du, aus!". 9/10.

    In all fairness though, the German guy did ask him twice without reply. That's gotta be asking for trouble :rolleyes:

  3. First walk of the year on Saturday so took it easy and went up King's Seat from Dollar Glen (648m). Found out on Saturday evening that what we thought was the summit wasn't really the summit, and the true summit was another 5m higher and another 150m North West! Still, 643m wasn't too bad.

    Taking a mate of ours up his first Munro at the end of this month, thinking possibly Schielhallion.

    Have fun at Schiehallion, just don't fall down the caves! Speaking of which, I take folk up to Assynt for a bit of caving every now and again and half the lot when they get there would rather take a hike up Suilven (The one shaped like a tit). Bloody hill walkers! :angry::P
