The kids and Torlum Hill

[Johnny Corbett]

This is a report from last October when Kim and i took her daughter and 2 nephews for a walk up Torlum Hill. As you will see from the photos the weather was not the best but the kids had a great time, honest, although you would not think that when you look at the photos. We followed the track then picked up the path to the summit.

The kids just wanted to get up the hill and not waste time getting their photo took

It looks like you and Kim had a great time but I'm not convinced the kids looked like they relished it. Get them up another one until they do!

I really like this approach. "You'll keep walking until you bloody well enjoy it" It's character building

Kind of puts me in mind of the humorous sign you sometimes see - "The beatings will continue until morale improves!". I've always wanted to buy one of these signs and display it outside my classroom - not sure senior management would see the funny side though.

Nice one JC - brings back fond memories of a walk last year with Ailsa when she was only a couple of months old. We got much better weather though!
