I still look in occasionally,almost as occasionally as I go out hill
walking. After a winter layoff I am not sure now whether I will ever go
hill walking again. I was out a dozen times in the Lake District last
year but I struggled and never managed more than 10 miles or 2500 feet
of ascent and this year I suspect would be even worse should I make it
to the hills. Earlier this year I acquired another dog in an attempt to
keep me more active but she threw up all over the back seat of my car on
the journey home so that is likely to mean no more trips even as far
afield as the ELD. Oh well I have had a good innings having started hill
walking at a young age two years before AW published his first guide in
1955.
