Thanks Nicole :thumbup:

Yes despite me thinking that I would be hibernating over the winter I have been fortunate to be invited out with some top notch people!!!

Feel free to appoint me as your Scottish walker by proxy- all gain, no pain for you :lol: :lol:

26km which is ...wait a minute... 16.5 miles..thats better...good stretch this time of year, I'd stick to about 12 ish !

That RR makes me laugh...doesn't walk fast...probably doesn't, but the length of them legs !! :lol:

Ref the yellow snow, you gotta get ya one of these ! http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/whiz-freedom-p158076

Can't find a blokes one though ! :lol:


Thanks Spidey!

He is right, he doesn't walk fast he just saunters. When I was alongside him, I reckoned I took three steps for every one of his strides :lol: :lol:

Hopefully we'll both be out on the same walk with him in the future and push him over a few times :lol:

Er had a weeeee look at that whizzo thing- no thanks Santa, that's just minging!!! There's enough negotiating trousers, thermals, underwear without flaffing about with that as well :shock:

:lol: :lol: :lol: well you could add this to THE WHITE ALBUM collection of photos we`ve been getting lately, and you sound as if you need some HELP on the hills, you were going down a lot like a YELLOW SUBMARINE. I think you should get rid of the RUBBER SOUL and invest in some spikes :lol: I hope you didn`t end up looking like THE FOOL ON THE HILL amongst the others and you shoulda told Gammy I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND when he got stuck in the snow. :lol: I can understand you falling once but NOT A SECOND TIME. But seriuosly, you`re some WOMAN and your reports are like the work of a PAPERBACK WRITER. :) Next time you`re going out DON`T PASS ME BY, give me a SHOUT and I`ll BE ON MY WAY to join you. :lol:

I was going to tie his legs together shorten that stride.

Re the whizzo, I wasn't thinking of all that cafuffle with trousers, thermals etc. etc. God knows I have enough bloody trouble myself, and once past 50 once your minds set there no st..... anyway I digress.

Couldn't you just 'fix it' in place or something so its ready to go...if you pardon the pun.

Either that or a pair of those Billy Connolly incontinence pants ! :lol:
