Flip, the 7s after a long absence from hillwalking - you must have maintained a good fitness in the interin :)

Welcome to the forum Big Red, the 7/7s is quite the achievement, kudos to you.

Hi,thanks for the replies guys,I done two short walks in Mournes then completed the 7's in 8 hours and 45 mins so I was happy enough to get around it in a decent time.Swore never again but probably a result of poor preparation.Gonna do a lot more training before i attempt it next year.Hopefully go sub 8 hours.
