Is someone holding you prisoner in a cellar?

Lol Peter! It certainly feels like it. I used to do a lot of hiking in the lake district, snowdonia and the Yorkshire dales mostly when I lived in England but not done anything really for years.

I spent 40 years in England (for I am English) before seeing the light / being blackmailed by the girlfriend.

I like the relative quietness of the hills over here. Anyone who thinks the Mournes and Wicklow are busy has never been in Keswick on a bank holiday.

What sort of thing are you thinking of, a bit of hillwalking or a nice night under the stars?

Hi Peter, yes you are right it is often very busy on the hills in England and Wales too! I am hoping to do a bit of walking nd maybe a night or two under the stars Red Leader, or at least in my tent anyway I have never been one for the tarp or bivi I am afraid! Steve
