LennyJ chatting from the Food Tent at 52:00

John Toal received a call later in todays show from Lennys Mum to say that he has reached the summit and is on his way back down so a big congratulations to Lenny. (1:44.20)

He was asked if he had any Mountain experience and didn't mention NI-Wild unfortunately tut tut!!!  ::)

Pasta and fish-stock sauce!  Wasn't that Dowser's foreshore foray recipe?  An NI Wild cook book next?

Well done Lenny.  Came across well on the radio and a great achievement.

Congrats.  Really well done.

How did you find all your kit?  Anything you'd definitely recommend or anything that got thrown in the bin the second you arrived home?
