Scramble

Well if Mr Mycroft the OutdoorsMagic Routes Editor writes a guide to scrambling (read it here). There is a good chance that if he mentions Clogwn Y Person Arete then I may be in the picture he uses.

I remember the day well it was the second time I had met Dave. Iain needed some people to practice with for an up and coming assessment. Dave and I were helping out. Yeah a free day on the hill was such a hard decision to make.

One of the stand out memories of the day was Dave and his lunch box! No not that lunch box. The new Sigg lunch box had just come out and Dave had one. Which he had bought along with him with naturally his lunch in it. When we met up with Iain at the start of the day, Dave took it out of his pack to show Iain. Sadly he forgot to place it back in his bag. A fact we didn’t discover until we stopped for something to eat a little while later.

We were in cloud/mist most of the day, which hid the exposure but ruined any views to be seen. Despite that we had a fantastic day with Iain. In fact every time I have been out with Iain (as a paying customer I have had a great time as well).

Actually if you look on Iain’s website in the gallery you will see a couple of photos from those times. One is of Kate with a guy I can’t remember the name of(below left  taken in Lakes) and the other is Kate and me (below right taken on  Clogwn Y Person Arete).
