What a weekend of compleat madness! What a group of amazing lunatics who showed me so much kindness in their tremendous gifts but also in their time. Thank you so much for giving up your weekend to make this such a memorable occasion. A wee special nod to 2manyyorkies for travelling up from York and to Chris Mutter who drove back to Jedburgh straight afterwards, I really appreciate the effort you guys made- true pals. For those who I didn't get to thank in person- Irene Morris and lovely Dave, Andy Lawson and Neil Ferguson. I owe you a big hug and a kiss. Gutted that you couldn't make it but life does get in the way. I hope you can tell from all the photos that I was mega chuffed with what you bought me! A huge thanks goes to my favourite Perthies Stevie Matt and Michael Souter for their joint effort in producing such a perfect piece of art. I loved it! And despite it being in Monty's, Scoob's, Theresa's and then my car it arrived home in one piece. Thank you Monty for providing the musical entertainment, it was superb. And to Quoman for not being too shabby on the guitar either! Lastly there are three people who were determined that I was having a compleation party and it was going to be one to remember. Gammy, Jonny616 and Mountain Thyme, you really are the best! Xxxxxx

And so it was number 282.........

There are so many people on this forum who have helped me get to this number and if I didn't say it at the time then I should have! Thank you. It was your walk reports, private messages, company and friendship that nudged me gently, or otherwise, along the way. But there was one special person who really did haul my big fearty backside over far too many pinnacles to mention and that is Rocket Ron. Its thanks to his diligence, bravery and endless patience that I even got within sniffing distance of the coveted final hill. Cheers Ron- you're one in a million...........XXXX

To my dad I was always his 'Polly Darling' and to my mum I was always her 'clever big lassie' but to you folks I was always Pollyh33 - thank you for letting me be part of your family XXXXX

Tapadh leat Colla.

Should you be wandering around the Loch Coruisk area don't be surprised if you see a sheep wearing a Haglofs cap and another with a Saltire draped around its shoulders! :crazy: :crazy:

I'm hoping the Saltire flying freely through the air is a good omen for the future!!!! :D :D :D :D
