Lucy, Me and the Cairnwell Three

[pollyh33]

10 out of 10 for getting a youngster onto the hills, so come on how much did it cost you?

Cheers JC. No direct bribery but I am paying for the spa day, cocktails etc !!! But hey when do kids stop costing money ????

So nice to do something together with family members. Getting us closer in a "mad" world !
Great to see that Your daughter wanted to do the walk, and in that "wet weather" !
Take care
Jesper

Thankyou so much Jesper. Yes wet weather indeed! Hope your wife is continuing to improve after her terrible ordeal

Every time I start to close the gap you pull away again ( Munros ! ) ! Good effort and well done !!

What a great report. Also, what a difference a day makes. We were there the day before, at exactly the same time as you were, and you couldn't even see the Ski Centre from the road. We waited for an hour but gave up when the fog got worse. Headed to Loch Callater instead. Hoping to head back in the next couple of weeks. Looks like you had a nice time despite the weather.

Cheers RK. You did the right thing by trying something else. It can be quite disturbing when you can't see any features to help you orientate. I did panic a wee bit when the visibility was poor but Lucy was great checking everything on the map with me. And yes we did have a great time

Well done Polly and Lucy, looks like you had a special time together despite the weather I've got a 21 year old daughter and there is no way I'd get her on the hills! I keep saying that if I ever complete all the Munros I'll be hoping she comes up the last one with me that will be quite a few years from now so got plenty of time to work on her Hopefully the next time you head out Lucy will get plenty of sun and some nice views

Thanks Valerie,

That would be fantastic if she did join you on your 283rd!!! One of the reasons I think Lucy came with me was for the toning effects on the hips and rear end!!! She has a couple of catwalk shows coming up and she wants to be in top shape. Its as good a reason as any!!!!

PS are you Mrs Bod? Are you still going up to Kintail?

[Valerie]

Yes Polly I'm Mrs 'Bod' lol! We're definitely on for Kintail and really looking forward to meeting you all. Should be a good fun weekend

Good stuff getting Lucy introduced to the hills. I hope I can get my Sophie up them when she is that age!! Shes only 8 just now, so plenty of time to convince her Conic hill is as far as she's gone, and even that was a moan Maybe we should have a kids corner on WH to encorage them

Thanks LW,

Believe it or not these hills are easier than Conic hill, especially if you stick to the regular route- honest!

Your posts are always entertaining Polly. Have you ever considered writing a book ?

Somebody else has
