Having previously experienced the delights of this particular route...

You consciously walk to the end of the Landrover track that leads up Glen Falloch and, when all solid footings vanish before your eyes, you continue into the mad bath beyond (Coire Earb).
Mental !!!


Ah - the joys of a week at -15C - solid bogs :lol:

You arrive at the summit in thick mist, but because you're only 99% certain it actually is the summit, you go a bit further beyond to check for higher ground - just in case. Finally convinced it was the summit, you return to it and realise how bloody far beyond it you went when you needn't have. ... :oops: :wtf:

I agree. Last time I went up, I was thinking just that...

You grudge paying £s for clothes for work, but think nothing of spending £££ss on hillwalking gear :lol:
Your holidays are planned around mountain areas :D
You tell yourself that walking in pi**ing down rain with no view...is character building :lol:
Your computer is jammed packed with photos of hills and not much else :D
You love maps! :lol:

1309 - The city of Rhodes surrenders to the forces of the Knights of St. John, completing their conquest of Rhodes.

9 - Empress Wang (Ping) is given the title of Duchess Dowager of Ding'an, while Emperor Ruzi of Han, the former Emperor of Han becomes the Duke of Ding'an.

974 - The Carmathians are defeated in Egypt by Jawhar as-Siqilli; Fatimid rule is consolidated there.

I'd have to look up wikipedia for the rest, other than 4406 - Final series of Strictly Come Dancing? ;)

You know your a bagger when you will walk miles in the rain with no views over hellish ground, but then cannot be *rsed going to the shop because it is 100m away!
