So the wii version of iPlayer had it once you used search to dig up Scottish related content. Must be on the non wii web too. Assuming that Nintentdos version of web is same (there is only one?)</p> <p>Was a brilliant film. Hope you get to see it soon.

However it never put me off, and was back on ridge a couple of days later; got back on the bike, as it were. Have worn a helmet many other times, depending on conditions, route etc.</p> <p>I do hope you complete them, but still take the chance to go back and enjoy them at some point! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13503#post-166975 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 14:50:18 +0000 I were right about that saddle 166975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@jdanielp</p> <p>Very good.

There's also a bigger than usual risk of falling a long way - a helmet isn't going to protect you if you do that.</p> <p>The Ridge is a properly scary but spectacular place. I have 3 ridge Munros left to do and I'm not sure if I'll ever go back once I've done them! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13503#post-166972 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 14:26:47 +0000 tarmac jockey 166972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The boy done well playing with the Cuillins. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13503#post-166953 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 12:17:32 +0000 paolobr 166953@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It actually wasn't, just stunned for a bit. Walked off with a couple of mates and taken to Portree for a few stitches. Can just about still make out the scar on my forehead. Must have a thick skull...</p> <p>You pretty much have to get to the In Pinn very early on a good day if you want to avoid the queue, as a mate and I did a few years ago. Great to sit on the top for a while until the crowds arrived. Pretty sure we got up onto the Stone. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13503#post-166952 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 12:09:52 +0000 paddyirish 166952@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em><br /> <blockquote>At least Danny was wearing one whilst rowing the boat! </blockquote></em><br /> Absolutely nothing to do with it being plastered with the logo of a certain "energy" drink sponsor... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13503#post-166951 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 12:05:08 +0000 cb 166951@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>And at the risk of starting a parallel h*lm*t debate, no, I wasn't wearing one at the time...</em></p> <p>Ouch, sounds sore.
