Picture of Doodle - a 
black cat

Welcome to Doodlecat - where we enjoy the great outdoors and gather a range of news and views. Much of the content is courtesy of the generous contributions from the splendid people who participate in the annual TGO Challenge, so there is a wealth of outdoor experience here, especially if you like walking in Scotland - but we try to range worldwide.

The home page is where we post the latest news and views from the Doodlecat team. You can have your say too! Just click on the 'comments' link on any of the posts - or if you have a story or photogallery that you think we'd like, then let us know. Random Doodles and the Image Gallery welcome guest contributions, as well as the perennial favourite, the TGO Challenge pages

The blogroll on the right displays ten links to other sites that you might like to try out - there are a lot more, and the list will change each time you visit or 'refresh' the page.

Enjoy your stay.

Pond life and TV Gardeners

After an afternoon wading in freezing water putting plants in the new 'wildlife pond' ("It'll toughen you up for May" says Miss Whiplash, project supervisor) I was dismayed and apprehensive when she suggested that I might like to watch UKTV Gardens. What further onerous gardening project was I being softened up for?

But no! She meant it as a treat!

Extraordinarily (for I can see no connection with gardening) UKTV Gardens is showing Cameron McNeish's "Wilderness Walks" series.

Tonight at 7.30pm - Letterewe

The rest of the series is on at odd times (Tues 15th has Knoydart at 7.30am and 2.30pm, Weds 16th has The Cairngorms at 2.30pm). Best thing is to log on to UKTV Gardens listing for more info.

I wonder what else is hidden away in the listings for the specialist channels?

Can you get Miss Whiplash to give us 'better heads' up next time?

Hrmph!

Plenty more to come, Al - and there are repeats. I took a late lunch break today to catch 'Letterewe' which featured Cameron kicking over a cairn!
