Wainright on the telly

[Mark Smith]

Sorry ST.

Actually I thought you were talking about Wainwright's wife.

I have been trying to work out how she hobbled off the sofa to do a 18 mile road race.

No worries

Great books, no doubt about that - real works of art. Dubious bloke though and there's no doubt he'd have hated fellrunning, and fell races in particular.

.

Yes he famously refered to fell runners as "bloody fools"

I have heard quite a few others say that about us even thought it about myself at times.

great books but he was a miserable sod!

I am not a lover of cairns on the hills, so din`t like to see stones added to the cairns on tv, does that make me a miserable sod to

[Gaz]

not unless you :-

*don't like people
*anti social ba****d
*prefer cats
*able to ignore loved ones for 13 years
*are a selfish ba****d

that Julia Bradbury is a bit of a hottie mind I'd always thought so from seeing her on Watchdog but i especially enjoyed watching her struggling up Haystacks a liitle bit out of breath. Nicky Campbell is one lucky TV presenter.

No, not at all JohnK...unless I am as well of course!

I noticed that.....what a great example to set on the bbc - if you go out in the hills, be sure to take yet another stone off the path, thereby causing erosion, to add to a monstrosity of a cairn that's needed for people who don;t know how to navigate in bad weather!!

I make a point of REMOVING a stone from hideous large cairns!!

Agree wholeheatedly. Cairns are an abomination in wild places.
