2. The Old Man of Stoer Stoer
The Estado Novo , or the Second Republic, was the corporatist authoritarian regime installed in Portugal in 1933, which was considered fascist. It evolved from the Ditadura Nacional formed after the coup d'état of 28 May 1926 against the democratic but unstable First Republic. Together, the Ditadura Nacional and Estado Novo are recognised as the Second Portuguese Republic. The Estado Novo, greatly inspired by conservative and authoritarian ideologies, was developed by António de Oliveira Salazar, President of the Council of Ministers of Portugal from 1932 to 1968, when he fell ill and was replaced by Marcelo Caetano. Opposed to communism, socialism, anarchism, liberalism, national socialism and anti-colonialism, the regime was corporatist, conservative, and nationalist in nature, defendi...

Scotland's Best: Drumrunie to Lochinver single-track road

Beneath Stac Pollaidh, with vistas of Suilven, Canisp, Cul Mor and Ben Mor Coigach, the 20 mile single track road from Drumrunie junction on the A835, to Lochinver, crosses some of Scotland's most magnificent scenery and links the tiny settlements of Inverpolly and Inverkirkaig. The journey will take a couple of hours and is well worth it. If you are in a hurry take the 27 mile route by Loch Assynt. Fortunately the road is closed to caravans.

A trip to Sandwood Bay, Sutherland

One of our clients, Catriona, was taken ill during her trip to the North West Highlands. It had been her dream to visit a remote beach, Sandwood Bay as part of that holiday. We decided to give her a surprise to make up for her ruined holiday. It was such an honour to learn what these wild places mean to her and be a part of her journey there.

The greatest climbing adventure in the UK!

Climbing the Old Man of Hoy the greatest climbing adventure in the Scotland and the UK...

Alex's surprise 30th birthday present for her husband Craig was to fulfill one of his biggest climbing ambitions which was to climb The Old Man Of Hoy!

The Old Man or Am Bodach is regarded as one the greatest climbing adventures in the UK. Just getting to the towering sandstone sea stack in the Orkney Islands is a long trip and an adventure in itself.

Alex arranged a guided ascent of the spectacular sea stack with Ron Walker (MIC, IML) of Talisman Mountaineering.

The 'Original' (or East Face) Route 460 feet E1 5b was first climbed by Tom Patey, Rusty Baillie and Chris Bonnington in 1966. The climb was fimed during the BBC's first ever live remote outdoor broadcast. I'd eagerly watched this on black and white TV as a 11 year old in 1966 never imagining that I'd ever be climbing such an amazing route...

The pre-digital age video camera footage was saved on an old video tape which has now been finally transferred, converted and edited for upload onto the internet - Enjoy!!

HEART-POUNDING CENOTE TRIP before leaving Mexico

We're going into the Riviera Maya jungle for some thrills! Plus, find out what country we're visiting next.
►Learn Spanish with Rocket Languages:

It has been getting hot in Puerto Morelos lately, so in today's travel vlog, we’re heading to the brisk water of a cenote to cool off. Near us is the famous ruta de los cenotes, a road filled with these Riviera Maya sinkholes. There are dozens to choose from, but we decided to take a 30-minute drive from our home in Quintana Roo to see Cenote La Noria.

Okay, so maybe calling it a “sinkhole” doesn’t do it justice. This cenote had clear turquoise water with fish swimming and bats flying in the cave overhead. This particular cenote has a terrifying jumping platform where you can stand at Earth level and attempt to jump the ~2 stories to the freezing blue water below. It also features a zipline and a swing over the water.

To get to Cenote La Noria, you take the Ruta de Los Cenotes road from Puerto Morelos for about 15 minutes before turning off at the signs for Cenote Kin-Ha. From there, it’s about another 10 minutes until you see the signs for La Noria.

Later, we meet up with a special friend of ours. You probably know her best as MyTrish Advisor (Facebook.com/MyTrishAdvisor). And finally, we share a new challenge we are faced with—attempting to get a new car battery for our Prius C3 in Mexico. Since the technology for our model isn't as advanced here in Mexico as it is in the US, we may need to drive 60 hours back to the border for a new battery. YIKES! Make sure to watch until the end if you want to learn what Spanish-speaking country we are visiting next.
