Smashing day out, can't believe how nervous i was walking up to a group of folks who knew eachother but not me and introducing myself. Had to do the run in my retro Adidas traccy top due to leaving my Inov8 on the chair at home, d'oh! Funny watching Al Fowler getting chased by Lamas at the start, perhaps they took you for their b1tch Al...?

Respect to the suicide squad who showed balls of steel and did Sharp Edge, can't believe turbo still has the use of all his limbs after turning up questionably accoutre'd to say the least . Visibility was excellent and the views were cracking, the ground was carpeted in that wind blown frost that forms little rifts and ridges. No idea whatsoever how Nee Bother's trilby stayed on all day, it was very windy up top.

The descent down to Mungrisdale was fast and dodgy in places but really enjoyed it, hope Del Monte's knee is ok, managed to stay on my feet despite being in trail shoes. Think i met everyone but can't remember any names! when you spend your teenage years smoking pot short term memory is hard to come by when you're older, it'll probably take me at least 2 XOTFs to get things registering .

Big thanks to Amex and Emmi for the organisation, and Amex for the Mulled Wine at Mungrisdale, it wasn't without it's charm but i'll put it down as an acquired taste as it was my first sampling . You're probably all 'avin it to Culture Club in The Loft as i write this.....wish i was there .

Best of luck with the job Merry.
