Its taken 8.5 hours today, many of them suffering quite a lot of pain in both thighs, I followed the advice about stretching and I'm sure it helped. I think the problem is that some muscles have awoken from a 30 year coma. I'm sure a day off will help.
Most of the day, which has been gloriously sunny, I was staring at Ben Nevis.
I hear that there has been some discussion about my frequent mention of my drinking habits so, for Maggie's benefit I want to say that I didn't have a drink yestertday. It didn't stop me remembering the Cairngorm Black Gold I had in the Fiddlets in Drumnnadrochit (the beer pump was hidden behind all the whisky bottles) or the Cill Chuilmein Best Bitter at the Lock Inn in Fort Augustus.
A couple of views of Ben Nevis for you

you should be commended,almost teetoal. You also nearly never had directions that you sent as it arrived at post office and we thought it was a late birthday card. £1.10 you owe.
ReplyDeleteThere's a pattern emerging here - I had to pay £1.10 to retrieve the directions I was sent too!! I suspect the postage went on a local brew instead which you knew you were going to miss for a few weeks :-)

Hi Steve love the views of Ben Nevis. I think you deserve a drink at the end of your day and also it will help you sleep :)
ReplyDeletestunning. i would also advise necking a couple of pints of water at the end of your walk as it will rehydrate your muscles
