I imagine you and Tom tucking in to one of those glamorous tin tiffin carriers, possibly administered by a sherpa just out of camera shot. <br /><br />I love your pictures and descriptions of a real Welsh mountain walk, and you both look glowing images of health and achievement up there on the summit. I think the scramble over rock and streams and the boggy trudge would probably finish me off even before I got to the low cloud.Brown Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02760318815660274315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-50604999463144179272009-10-31T15:02:13.066-07:002009-10-31T15:02:13.066-07:00Your poor legs!

Didn't you just fun a marathon?<br /><br />(While I was on an errand in midtown today, I saw many folks whose trim physiques indicated that they would be running in the NYC marathon this weekend. At least, I think it's this Sunday ... am I out of touch or what.)<br /><br />It was fun to try to imagine which country they were from before I heard them speak a word.<br /><br />There are all sorts of bleachers set up in the southern end of Central Park where the finish line will appear.<br /><br />Perhaps one year you might come over and do this run? I'd definitely take the day off to cheer you on!<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-90097726939238468582009-10-30T15:45:24.129-07:002009-10-30T15:45:24.129-07:00Well done, that's some climb.

Indeed, we both have been ...Thanks for dropping by. Indeed, we both have been having adventures but yours was much bigger than mine. Where is this mountain? I've never heard of it.<br /><br />All the same I was higher up than you were (I imagine) simply because 'Le Massif Cantalien' is so high to begin with (otherwise the rivers would never get to the sea but just simply run round in circles). <br /><br />Still your climb was further upwards than mine and your poor legs have taken punishment far beyond the call of duty in recent days. In fact it's a bit of a wonder they don't simply fall off. <br /><br />As for leaping on a horse - I only wish I could - I fear these days that I would have to be winched up like one of those armour-suited monsters of old. I do believe though that I could leap on a donkey which, if I remember rightly, was Stevenson's favourite form of travel and a suitable beast for carrying you up mountains. <br /><br />All the same, I think I would rather share the donkey's oats than face raw fish with my head stuck in the clouds, if ever I reached the summit. Raw fish and long distance running must come equal first in my anathema stakes.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.com
