My Hillwalking Diary

Since I climbed my first Munro in September 2010 I have been bitten by the hillwalking bug (and also quite a few midgies!).I have decided to record all my walks in this blog so I can record my progress .

Monday 15th August - St Andrews Hospice


Some of the Nevis Numpties were privileged to visit St Andrews Hospice tonight. We were presented with our medals, yay! We like medals!
We found the hospice a warm, welcoming environment, and we met some of the lovely people who work there. Our efforts raised over £2000.It takes £45000 a week to run the hospice. I am delighted to have contributed in some small way to this wonderful place, but I feel very humbled at how appreciative they are and am keen to do more to help.

Largs, Knock Hill and other ups and downs!

A beautiful day, we were very lucky with the weather and the views. As always we laughed all the way and the Numpties reminisced a lot about our Nevis Nightmare! This is the reason we fell behind as we climbed uphill today. Too much hilarity and chat. Nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that we felt a bit out of practice and were nearly on our hands and knees at one point!
Fun, and laughter.... a great way to spend a day...
