all your walks seem to be a blast, Polly.

Good to see GLW is over his injury.

You not have a go on the bum sled or you just make do with what nature gave you :lol:

I ll have to make do with a walkabout in the North Sea
Cheers for the christmas cracker. :D



Thanks MM, glad you enjoyed the report :D

Thought you said in your comment that you would have to make do with a walkabout ON the North Sea!!!!! Jeezo! :lol:

No didn't have a go on the bum sled, if you notice in the photos I didn't sit down once, it was toooooo sore!

Please give me a shout when you return to terra firma if you're looking for someone to go on a less watery walkabout with :D


Would love to, :D but just a little "scared" of your hill prowess, not sure if I could keep up with the Queen of the Hills.
Any walk would be less water-y than my last :lol:
Think you deserve some pamper(s)-ing after your exertions :lol: :lol:

Can i point out a small health and safety point on this walk, i noticed Gammys ice axe is attached to his rucksack in a position where if he was to fall backwards the ice axe could embed itself into his shoulder.

Prowess???? Are you kidding me on???? :lol: :shock:

If you can walk further than 3 steps without having to blow your nose, take a deep breath, rearrange your bra strap and take a drink of water, then you'll be doing better than me :lol: :lol:

Thanks Derek :D

Pity you couldn't join us but you ended up with a rather fabbie day yourself. 8)

Haven't got a clue where I'll end up next. I'd love to head back up to Drumochter and re-do Geal Charn and the other three hills but hey its in the lap of the gods :?
