This coming Saturday is going to be a very special day.
My son has been asking me the same questions for weeks and weeks now, when enquiries about our weekend plans.......
"Are we going to climb a mountain?"
Well, i'm very pleased to announce that, all going well, my son Chase will be taking on his 1st Munro (Shiehallion) this coming Saturday (22/05/10).
To mark this occasion, he will be taking to the hill armed with 50 Fudge Bars to hand out to anyone he meets along the way. Each Fudge bar will handed out to anyone nice enough to talk to us. We're also going to be a little sneeky, and dish out a little slip of paper with details of this great website, inviting those getting a free bar to look up the site, to read Chase's first report walk. Some free publicity should hopefully go down well with those in charge, on here.
So, if your plans find you on Shiehallion, look out for myself, my son, and my younger brother.
Oh, by the way, Chase is only 3 and will not be getting to sit on daddy's shoulders until he's touched the summit cairn under his own steam. I don't think we'll be recording the quickest time, but maybe recording the youngest summiteer.
Maybe that should be a new feature. Youngest / Oldest member to summit each Munro.... ????
