My immediate reaction to the end of the bypass path was to sit down, light a fag and immediately burst into tears!!! A sore shoulder put paid to any scrambling worth speaking of that day.

My biggest regret is that Bob the Dog won't ever accompany me on that hill, I'd never take the risk of taking him on it - but what a hill, a total beast! :shock: :shock: :shock:

She shed a tear
But no one knows why
Whether for joy, sorrow or fear
One wonders what makes her cry

Can understand it personally, sometimes its the situation itself, the sheer scale of these mountains can bring out emotions none of us even realised we had.

But it doesnt stop us going, its one of the reasons we do go into the hills :D
