Nowhere else comes close.<br /><br />-----------------<br /><br />RR - you will note I am putting a summary of each walk in a brief first paragraph. Many of my readers are interested to have those details. Also my posts on this kind of trip are written partly for my own reference and possible compilation of another book, but I do strive to entertain.<br /><br />The anecdote about the Duke arose from the conversation with the café staff as did the bit of history about the name, ok, that could have been made more obvious by linking it with chat sentence.<br /><br />I thought the account of the hairy ascent and descent in snow conditions was quite exciting .Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-71637035693560558072015-04-28T11:52:50.464+01:002015-04-28T11:52:50.464+01:00Something to say and you've risen to its poten...Something to say and you've risen to its potential. Good. But reflect on those ascents where you're merely up then down; they appear dull to the reader, were they dull to you? If so you'd be better off in front of the telly, getting your exercise from a stationary bike.<br /><br />"a good chat with the staff." Just one quoted sentence would have told us more.<br /><br />The story with these latterday expeditions is (I'm guessing) one of physical compromise. How you cope can be covered in a positive way, a revelation to those of your age and suffering your impediments. A world away from moaning about defects. Such a practical approach might well be valuable to others and might inform the style in which you write.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-2626575568386080432015-04-28T10:44:35.407+01:002015-04-28T10:44:35.407+01:00Magnificent, if arduous, conditions Conrad and you...Magnificent, if arduous, conditions Conrad and you are obviously enjoying every minute of your trip. The Poppy Cafe looks very inviting and cosy, so I can see why you 'retreat' there after a day in the hills.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.com
