Oh I Get High With A Little Help From My Friends

[LeithySuburbs]

That's a long walk for this time of year so much respect to all of you . There were some brilliant conditions on Sunday but it was bl00dy freezing . I was not too far away in Glenshee and it was sooooooooo clear - I could see all the way to the Pentlands .

It was here that I had an epiphany.

Unfortunate! I trust you were carrying a change of underwear for this very eventuality????

It was always going to happen!!!

Do you know how difficult it is to make yellow snow when there are 6 males about???

[pollyh33]

:D Great reports, looks like you all had a blast

Thanks HF

It was a blast indeed!

[pollyh33]

looks like a great day out and thats a fair distance in the conditions,a huge well done to all

my report would just have been full of moaning about how difficult it was and how far i had travelled but your reports are always fun to read

top notch!

Thanks Iain

Ha ha your reports are not full of moaning, I always find them very philosophical

Great report Polly - trying keep on your feet next time

Thanks DB

Think you need to hire Rocket Ron as a pacemaker

As for falling over, I had a quick squint at your report and as a**e action goes, I take mine over yours anytime

Great report Polly And great pictures too It looks like you all had a great day out on this one. As I seem to remember it's quite a trek in the summer, so can imagine it was a good long walk for the winter. Well done to all of you

Thanks Leithy. It certainly was a fabulous day to be out and about. Glad to hear you enjoyed smashing views too. I can honestly say that I didn't feel cold once, but that could be due to the heat being generated from my throbbing body parts

Thanks Pigeon,

If you get conditions like we had and trusty micro spikes then you'll love it

I'm tempted to take peoples' suggestions about leaving this one until Spring and taking my bike, could be an idea

Thanks Peter, it was a really good long walk- certainly helped having lots of dodgy chat to keep us entertained

Jeezo I've just noticed your munro count!!! How many have you done this year???

[ndhudson]

I love your reports, Polly! That's just what I needed!!! An impressive push for winter walking too! Looks like you're really getting into this winter walking thing. We've yet to get out this winter, but I can live vicariously through your reports for a while!!!
