After a couple of happy days with kai Blair and Rosie, Joe and I escaped to the hills. The plan to climb my last two wainwrights. We faffed about first thing.

This time i was healthy and it was a nice wee walk to start the year. 2nd hill of the year first was a bit warmer!!

the last walk of the weekend with the Ladies Anne Marie, Svetland and Barbara. I lovely frosty walk which we came back down just as it was getting dark. Herad torches used and songs sung to keep us going. The hare was waiting in the car but I think the tortoises had more fun

Not to self not all ladies know where they are going when they say they do, always check the book/map for yourself….it would have saved a lot of faffing. Eventually we found the beginning of the scramble which should have been easy! We lost so much time a few of us decided to go down from the lost valley. It was still a good day.
