Dent isn't exactly a big or difficult summit to get to, hence its value of 1 point isn't going to earn any stripes but thanks to the following I've broken my SOTA duck MM1MPB, G4ILO, 2E0XSD, GW0KPV, M6RTY, GD3YUM, GW0VKW & M6CWA. I managed to come back with soggy feet and a bag full of other peoples rubbish as well as a feeling that its not going to be hard to twist my arm to do another summit. Especially as there are quite a few quite close to home.
Today's views, not exactly spectacular but I can just about make out that post about 50m away ! Below is my prize for my SOTA point, a bag of other peoples rubbish
Perhaps you should get extra points for litter collection?
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with your public spiritedness. How did you find the rubbish in that mist?
ReplyDeleteTip: Collect the rubbish on the way down. I remember walking up a hill years ago with someone who was 'educating' us to 'care for our enviroment'. On the top he put down the rubbish bag and we all added the wrappings from our packed lunches. As we strapped our rucksacks on a gust of wind lifted the bag in to the air and deposited the rubbish over about two square miles of countryside. Opps!
There was plenty of litter to pick up. Some of it had been there a while. I enjoyed being out but noticed the wind when I stood up.
ReplyDeleteI was out on my bike yesterday up Hardknott and noticed its only a short hike to the summit there. I think I'm catching the bug!
