Owdo up there ...
Your sounding cheerful this morning, what you planning!

I'm always positive....

Thought you might have some, but not for that. Don't suppose golf balls are hard to hunt, they'd just be lying there minding their own business...
Other things to do! How'd tha find tha time to do anything else ...

Nice view, I'll give you that.
Bonus points for venturing up when the flag were flying. There might have been snipers watching for rouge golf ball hunters.
Regular visitor, with radio, then.
Who were with you in the snow.

Yer given up on yer blog or not had time?
Well, count it as a gap year if you do start it again.
I were on parcel duty last Friday evening. Delivery slot moved back that afternoon.
I think you might have trouble finding any more time in the day. Even if it is yours...
I'd be after assurances today, not tomorrow.

We found a four-figure amount in the 3 courses we hit over a month or two period.
I'd say the success rate of 1 in 4 of excellent quality balls found, a few 'spuds' as they say, but overall the bulk were reusable....
told this fella about it one day..
His Mrs scolded me (laughingly), he had been out most nights looking..
buckets soaking everywhere (best thing we found to soak in was bio washing powder or liquid), in water, of course.

Blog? not been doing anything, last post was my radio activation on a fell at the south end of Windermere.

On't hill? my oldest...
Both parcels are tomorrow apparently...
which is handy.
Think I did that hill 7 or 8 times, cracking take off down S + SW..
think I posted before, a hill you can see Ben Nevis from..
I have a photo (someone else's) somewhere, I've seen it once.. pretty amazing.
Funnily I was on nearby hill, Eich and was talking to a couple, and one asked what the hill in the distance was..
Ben More on Mull, nope, the bloke wanted to argue about so I just shrugged my shoulders..
Met them a year later and got an apology of sorts.
Ben More (Mull) is a known finishing hill for some Munro Baggers (not my cuppa tea), we met a couple that day who'd compleated (the spelling they use) the lot.
There are blog posts for all these but I won't bore anybody...

That's a fair few to find, and lug back, a bucket full at a time.
"Your honour, I am simply reading a piece of a statement. Upon being stopped the defendant when asked what he was carrying his reply was "balls!"".
Going out at night on either of the two local courses you'd have police on you in no time.
You got there before him, and from the sound of things didn't leave much for him.

He went willingly.
Both being delivered at the same time, or as separate deliveries? Is it just me or have these deliveries become more hit and miss than than they used to be. Only at busy periods you'd expect the same company to deliver more than once per day.
Done a few of the local, down these parts, ones a few times. A few in The Lakes.
On the summit of Ben Nevis for the sunrise in July '89. The last of the three National Peaks done that day. You could see the coastline looking either east or west.

You're not a Munro bagger yourself then!

Not an old bag......ger.
Like the story....
The Ben?
Think July 1969, camped half way up at the wee lochan, back down via the CIC Hut and pipeline into Fort Bill
I did the Three Peaks Round in under 44 years....
Scafell Pike 2012, finally Snowdon in 2013 (days after my 60th).

Remember the Romans couldn't conquer N of Hadrians Wall..

(It was really the midges, I reckon)

You were younger back then though ...
It were nowt but a story! Which part...
Didn't have time to camp, breakfast were waiting just outside Fort William, in the local scout hut. As it were then. Breakfast and few hours kip then back down south.
We'd planned on going up from Fort William, but the lead driver missed a turning. Took us off down what was then a dead end road, on the south. We approached from the south, along a shorter walking route up from Achinteer House?
So you've managed to bag all three, don't mention the time.

The men too busy elsewhere?
I thought it was the Antonine Wall across the centre of Scotland, that marked the limit of the Roman Empire in Scotland.

Midges weren't that bad....

Antonine was just a big ditch.. I'm only a couple of miles from it..
The old Alba didn't have a border..
Just a hotch-potch of tribes.
Quite a bit of Roman history in the nearby area..
Troops were mostly from (todays) Belgian lands..

Took this 5 years ago at Roughcastle Fort

The sun highlights the ditch, to the right, the ground runs down to the canal (the canal follows some parts of the wall route), fort etc to the higher part..
