Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds.

The Scotland Outdoors podcast from BBC Radio Scotland.

Hello, thank you very much for downloading this.

I'm Mark Stephen.

We usually build the Scotland Outdoors

out of the live radio program we do for BBC Radio Scotland, which is called Out of Doors.

And this week we had a theme, getting ready for winter. I'm Mark Stephen. He's you in

McElwraith. I'm standing in an extremely windy car park in PBC Aberdeen

and he's further north but equally windy.

It is absolutely boiling here.

The trees are bending over.

Just like you, I've got a huge sycamore just to my left

and I'm getting snowed on with these massive leaves.

But because it's quite warm, they're really crunchy and it's perfect for kicking

big piles of them. I just love this kind of thing. We're always keen to hear your stories.

Email out of doors at bbc.co.uk. You can text this, and Sam's taking your phone calls. He's on 08,

085, 92, 95,000.

And the text number in case you're curious is 80295, which my esteemed colleague.
