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

Bearly believable

Mick and Gayle my friends originally met whilst we were all  LEJOGing, and who are well known to most visitors to this blog recently completed 500 miles or so  on the Pacific Coast Trail.
