Is that the same as Himalayan? Ha. I like that phrase all the same. I like photo’s 3 and 6, especially 6. I don’t think i have been up to Williamsons Monument. I must go and do it sometime.

I'd want to complete them too if only I lived closer, although I've still a dozen Corbetts left to visit so must get a move on with those this year.(I've been saying that for a number of years now). I agree with gimmer's comment about the Pikes photograph - very fine indeed.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-70898723056954115422016-01-15T07:53:55.328+00:002016-01-15T07:53:55.328+00:00gimmer - I presume you mean photo number 5.
