Great to see that you are out in the hills again - and writing. Looks like a fantastic walk and what amazing views. The weather has been fantastic but I fear the snow is coming back tomorrow. (I'm way behind with my walk reports - but I have been out.)

All in all a pretty succesful day on the hills, good weather, wonderful views and what looks like really good stackers paths at a very gentle angle, (just as well with toe problems) Got this one firmly on my radar for the WH Summer meet now :D

Re losing your report - after it first happened to me, I started writing them in Word instead. Using flickr means I can also add the photo links in as I go - all saved in Word so then just a case of copy/paste into WH - cheers :)


Yes you're right and that's what Pete's been telling since I started posting reports on here. Misplaced laziness that I haven't..... but the frustration of losing everything is worse.....so now I must. :wink:

Yes, I've been out again but unfortunately last week's foray up Ben Tee resulted in a helicopter rescue for my pal. I'm waiting until she's out of hospital before writing up a report on that. :shock:

Definitely worth doing if you're after a less strenuous day with good views. :wink:
