BlackPanther...That makes me feel so much better..at least I wasnt the only one who thought it did not look like 2 mountains. The 'accident' you had made me laugh...but sometimes it is so easy to make them
ceaser...
Yeah sometimes it sucks being alone...but at least I had no one who could blame me after.
Graeme D...
Your friend sounds fun...'Oh what went wrong, made me laugh
kevsbald...Yep sometimes it is the little things which make up for it all.
brpro26...Half of the Munros I have walked I did solo. Taking pictures of yourself with a self timer is a second sign of madness? Lol happy to join the bunch of mad people who for later remembrance do the same, apart from having no photo at all.
As for tents during my trip up north I had 3 tents with me... that might be a bit mad...but different occasions need different tents. As for accidents...they happen everywhere...had my worst whilst doing a 3 inch jump up a pavement close to home- resulted in a weeks hospital visit with 3 slipped disks- so far in the hills nothing happened- probably due to missing pavements.
gaffr..Agree with the tents...although mine consists of a pop up tent for midge infected areas (pitched in less than 1 min) and a more sturdy one for heavy rain and storms...and my wee backpacking one for overnight trips in the hills.
PeteR...Thank you...it is always harder writing an honest report, but as you said...it is not always wonderful and easy and maybe just as well...brings us all back to reality of being mortals
Polly...Thank you...of course I made it back...although without the decision of missing out the remaining 4, I still might be wondering up there
