Funny report and shame you didn't get the weather on the second climb as you did on your first.

Oh yes! Gagfax was tutoring me in using both a GPS and a map and compass. I'm thinking of getting a smart phone/ Viewranger combo.

Glad you enjoyed the report :D

AsDel246 has said we all make mistakes,the thing is you realised you had gone wrong & corrected your mistake,the best advice I can give you polly ,when it goes wrong sit down,take 5min out,take stock,think back where you have just come from,try not to panic,if you can do this it will help.

PS thanks for the report & where you went wrong,still got these two to do,so now I have excuse. :lol: :lol:

Wit, wisdom and youth????? I dunno about that but the sweeties were much appreciated. I think i ate my own bodyweight in Haribo milk bottles and fun sized twix. Always good to go along with enthusiastic begginers and people that like a blether so no im not lying in a dark room recovering :lol:

Id like to thank the couple from Englandshire that took our photie at the summit, their poor wee dog was soaked.

So CMD arete next? :shock:

Good luck with the running.

Thanks GF,

Yeah poor Meg( the soaked dog) did look a wee bit miserable!

Run was great. Got a new PB. There were Malteser cake bars at the finishing line- wanted to make sure I got one!! :lol:

If you can put up with me wittering on about activities in Strathclyde park :shock: then I happily tag along with you again. Tablet next time???? :D
