Chance would be a fine thing. That said, seeing my 6yo daughter take on a hiking challenge makes me proud.
Still would like to do get some time to myself though...c2c ideally!
This. I've always loved hill walking/hiking of any kind but always with mates
Since the age of approx 40, I find real solice in walking alone. I still do a bit with mates and enjoy it but feel totally comfortable on my own these days.
I'd take your Brownhill, Maitland Niles, KDH types as squad improvements at this stage yes we want more quality too but we need numbers and quality. Desperately....
The realisation that you are blessed compared to what other people have to endure in the world around you. A warm house, full belly and the promise of a peaceful day is an idea of heaven for our less fortunate brothers and sisters.
