I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

Forgotten incident today (update)

Halfway to Sewstern I had to walk through the Buckminster Gliding Club. I nearly got run down by a taxiing light plane. Further on I found the club's buildings and idly wondered if they had a café, a fanciful notion, but as I approached feeling a little trespassy a guy appeared and I sort of joked and hinted about the café. I was promptly ushered inside and a cup of tea was made for me and I bought two choccy bars and made an appropriate donation to their honesty box. I had interesting chat with various members. This is an old WW2 RAF station and steeped in the history of its resident squadrons. That was all a memorable visit which I inexplicably missed when writing up my post today.

  1. I subscribe to the (US)National Science Foundation's newsletter and read an article I thought you might find interesting. I don't know how to embed a link in a comment so that all you have to do is click on it, but here is the URL: http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=131916&WT.mc_id=USNSF_1

    It might prove useful for your next trek.

  2. These offers of tea are just becoming so common place that they're slipping your mind as an event now!

    Gayle - i wasn't sure if that one counted. It was hardly unsolicited.
