It's only as you get older that you discover the impression the hills made on you in your teens.  I'm sure you'll enjoy reading around the site until you get the chance to get out and rekindle that passion for real.

you are just so right.

i just loved it when i did it before.

i really miss not getting there and doing what i love.

The sense of freedom,away from normal life.

It made me feel amazing walking in the mountains something i truly miss.

whether it be in the rain or snow it matters not.

last big walk i dis was hattys walk when i was 15.

i had to take 2 days off school as my legs where so sore.
about half way you could quit if you wanted,there was a minibus to take you home.
my uncle who i did this walk with said do you want to stop.
I said no way ive done half im going to do the rest.
Im very determined that way.

Half way was i think beside butter or hen mountain.

Hey darren welcome. I am sure you will get the help u r looking for on here.

I sure hope someone will take pity on me and help me out.
Nothing worse when you love something and you cannot get to do it.
