Have you lost or found some gear when out in the hills?

This is a bit of fun guys :) I genuinely found this at the top of Sgurr nan Coireachan (Glen Finnan) at the end of March, if anyone wants it just let me know :roll: What is the oddest thing you have found at the top of a hill???

I used to be in a hillwalking club where quite a few of the ladies turned up in make-up.. I never got it because they always looked like bride of frankenstein after a walk instead of just a bit windswept :lol:

I did Ben Alder from the cottage one summer on a foul day.. On the trig, I was surprised to find 3 varieties of cheese, a swiss army knife for cutting it, and 4 wee packs of oatcakes :crazy:
I returned 2 days later, to find the cheese and oatcakes had been eaten, but the knife was still there, so it has been in my pack every walk since :lol:

A pair of socks, freshly-laundered, in the Lairig Gru, a woolly jumper by Loch Etchacan, a new fleece on Derry Cairngorm, various flare tubes and parachutes (wee parachutes for flares) all over the place, bits of aircraft, but nothing else really stands out... Does a live stoat at a summit cairn count? Weather balloons too. I heard of a bloke who had been out on Dungeon Hill in Galloway who found the fabric of a weather balloon tangled in the heather. He followed the cables to find any wee instruments on the end, but found half a dessicated corpse instead - it was a parachute....

We found a Jedi Knight on the trig point of Beinn Tharsuinn...

That's funny, I found one just like it in similar conditions from the east. I was quite chuffed too.
