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

Newlands Horseshoe - more pictures

Here are a few more pics from my Newlands Horseshoe walk (subject of my last post).



Dramatic clouds on Blencathra




















The steep descent of Scope End is seen in the very centre of the pic

    Scope End, from a distance, looks like the backbone of some fantastic animal; snoozing, one hopes!

    These are great images of beautiful landscapes. I especially like the view from the point of Scope End, painted a deep rosy-mauve by the heather.

    Conrad:

    Several months ago, I came across a poem that made me think of you and your love of climbing, of experiencing the wildness of the outdoors. I saved it in a file on my computer, but sadly, have not been able to find it since.

    Today, I was following a link posted at another blog (Whiskey River) to a poem which does the same thing, only better, I think, than the one I saved and lost.

    The Crow - I enjoyed the poem. It could only have come from somebody who had a profound love of the outdoors, and as a kindred spirit it registered with me.
