Cheer up.. I’m seven years behind - somehow haven’t been in fieldnote mode since my head was done in by divorce, ‘getting there’, still out stomping but work and subsequent relationships have meant the quiet time needed for writing and pic sorting etc, all that is needed for uploading new stuff, of which I have loads, has been at a premium. Plus being a bit of a technophobe has meant I’ve got lots of images trapped on old SD cards. Hopefully my beloved will help out there soon, but I think site revisiting might be needed in some cases.
As for this year, peak fieldwalking time now beckons now the snow has squashed the bracken down. I’m now nervous about going solo in the deep wilds though after close calls, falls. No more snow covered boulder fields, getting lost in fog etc. And certainly not another climb up a gorse covered sea cliff in the dark. I’m blessed that I now have company as long as the going isn’t too rough. Touch wood, the Kerry Ridgeway followed by a return to superlative Colonsay plus Kintyre beckon before summer and the bracken returns.. and yes, those pics with blurb will come. Happy New Year and good luck, TSC, Gladders, Drew and all.. let’s have a good one.
Yeah, one thing about getting older is one becomes a lot more aware of 'what could go wrong'... looking back, I took some risks in my 20's/30's that would not be remotely acceptable now. Hill fog still puts the extreme frighteners on me after all these years.As for this year, peak fieldwalking time now beckons now the snow has squashed the bracken down.

Not been to Colonsay, but you can't go wrong with Kintyre or Kerry area. Nice one.
