I love fell walking but, once the ground moves past a certain angle, my sense of frailty overcomes my sense of adventure.
At that point, my brain overloads in trying to calculate how many things can go wrong, how many ways each of those things can go wrong, and how much each one would hurt me.![]()
An ex-boss of mine didn't start climbing until he got to his mid-50s. It was the incentive for him to lose about 4 of his 15 stone.
OH yeah, I get that brain overload thing too. You gotta go a bit mad to get off the ground really.
