Thanks Rockhopper.

Apologies for my ignorance, what are Kahtoolas?
Micro spikes? I definitely need them!
Or more padding for my rear-end?- I definitely don't need that!

Jonny616 and I discovered that we are very close in ages- ( he's older!) and I said that you were of a very similar age- Oh big climby thingy for our joint 50th celebrations??? :roll: :roll: :roll:

So glad that you think I did okay with the report. Thanks for keeping us all on track :D


As for the soup, I think its fair to say that RR owes you at least a pint at Kintail :think:

Polly It was good to meet you and the guys. Always better to have some company on the hills.

Am not fast at walking you guys just made it look like i was walking fast :D Alan was leading the way on the decent
110 munro + corbetts and grahams for 2011 is not a achievement. Its not a achivement till there all completed :D

I did find that walk just a wee stroll. But it was a long walk for this time off year. I did think it was a bit bonkers.

My only regret of the day. Was not going back to help paul up the hill after he hurt his knee. After he walked all that distance he was so close. I should off knocked him out and dragged him up the hill :D
Yeah you should get some micro spikes your very unstable on your feet
Padding you got plenty of that on the rear end :D

Alan very very sorry about your soup. I was trying to keep charlie on the lead when people had food out. No worries i will buy you a pint at kintail or just give you a tin of soup back to make up for it

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
