They arrived down off Butter Mountain about 6pm looking and sounding a bit battle weary.  A night round the fire will lift the spirits and they'll be up for another 12 mile tomorrow bright and breezy

Following Lenny's co-ordernates  i called over to see the guys in" Tibet ",Fofanny this evening with Mountain goat,must say very impressed with the campsite,good job for whoever discovered it.Think the guys had a hard day in the hills which ended with the last few miles throught bog-land & wet feet for everyone,Matthew & Lenny were both giving it load's about" sore bits".Just got to the campsite as the guys were cooking dinner,few of them had these fancy boil in the bag meals,but i much preferred Dave's & Rubblebum's steak dinners.Good to meet some new face's as well ,also few of the lads had the good idea of stashing some gear earlier in day at the campsite so they did not have to carry it,left them as the bottles came out.

Don't think there will be too many feeling hardcore this morning.  I'm guessing it will be a long wet trek on an empty stomach in order to get home to a hot bath asap

the weather can ruin almost any trip but the achievment,the tick list, that 1 magic view, the thought of the next outing in good weather , that special wild canpsite and like this weekend spent with likeminded friends will leave great memories no matter what the weather
