Beautiful photos ML, not sure about that 'strapping planks of something on yer feet' thing though....you had the right idea I reckon...a nice steady plod back down again..........now if you'd had a tea tray with you, THAT would be a great descent :lol: :lol:

Well I think to help Marco or anyone again, I would need some rather good convincing :lol:

Many thanks Chris, I actually once saw a guy who carried a sledge up a 3000m mountain :shock: ...would not have liked the carry up...but how much fun must he had on the way down :thumbup:
