Bags Packed

Number 1 in 1969, when we were in P2

Bags are packed. Nearly ready to go. I'm standing here thinking about Peter, Paul and Mary and why they just didn't cancel that flight. However, they didn't cancel because they didn't write the song. That was the work of the King of Easy Listening, John Denver and we all know the circumstances that led to his eventual demise. Yes, he too fell victim to the curse of the mountain.

I'm also thinking about the sanity of this endeavour given the torrential rain we have been having and the fact that Fort William is the wettest place in Britain. Furthermore, the location of the second climb in the Lake District is the second wettest place in Britain. The possibility of a shower or two is therefore high and it would be advisable to pack some wet weather kit, but I am not one for dispensing or receiving advice so I will probably get wet. The forecast for the first climb indicates heavy rain so who knows, perhaps "The Grog and Gruel" will look even more attractive on Sunday morning!

The the only "Heavy" will be that dispensed by a hand pump! Lovely beer!!
