I know mate.. I feel a right nobber! Was supposed to be hitting the Lakes for a 2 nighter this month but that's on the back burner for now. Hopefully be back out in September finger's crossed! I'm thinking about the pack weight that could be a problem when the time comes.. don't know anyone with a Yak for hire do you?! Lol..

 

I just find it easier these days with lower pack weight. And I quite like trying out new or new to me lighter gear.

I did too mate had every bit of game on there over the years 

Dogs got to be spot on for the golf course everything  runs like f**k on the nicely mowed grass, use to live near one in my first flat, a walk round the golf course for a bit of meat then back through the allotments for the veg on the way home, butcher the meat feed the dogs chop the veg and put a stew on before turning in, good days

He hasn’t,set out on a trek and vanished,just been a body found in Scotland,a guy missing a year?

Happens here a lot,that’s why PLB’s are popular,watched a program the other day a young kid came from Ireland to hike the PNT,vanished.

Absolutely mate! My eldest turned 18 just a few weeks ago and i put an album together for her.. 0-18. I had to trawl way back through old laptops and tablets and hardrives for the early pics and I found some belting videos from when she was younger and I wish I'd took more whilst I could and capture those moments and memories because they don't half soon grow up!
