| The Story of the Walk: Note: The daily records are from my diary written during the course of the walk with additional notes in italics.
Today has just about to be the most exhilarating days walking ever.
Deke and I kept it about as high as we could throughout. The weather
was great, warm and with high cloud. A little hazy at times and we
even had a short spell where it closed in for about 15 minutes. It
actually rained for about 30 seconds while we were at the summit of
Haystacks! We did six peaks over 500 metres in height, serious stuff
or what.
The
reasons for noting the hills and their heights was because I had
challenged myself to climb 50 peaks over 500 metres in the 50 weeks
leading up to the millennium as part of a personal challenge I set
myself the year before. I did achieve it. |
