I remember the first time!! Like you I’ve since been back (less my unfit friend who slowed us down that day). You’ve probably heard about it, but for the benefit of the casual reader, it was with me dad, a friend of his and the family mutt, Barney. We did the route described above in reverse. What made it memeorable was doing a traverse of part of the Cobbler ridge - passing Barney from hand to hand down the steep bits. Not to be recommended, I hasten to add.

Anyway, glad you had a good day - was the weather site any use, or did you get the link too late? On that note, the funding for that site is pretty short-term - as in , we’ll see if it’s worth rolling it out. So the more people use it the better, cos it’s pretty good.
