What is it with idiots that climb /camp in mountains? Its minus god knows what; half of the tent is on its way to the valley floor; and you might not survive the night. Do you right your last will and testament, try to scamper to a lower location or put the kettle on?
Answer – ‘Come on weather have a go I’m armed with a hot cup of tea’.
I couldn’t agree more and shall remember these wise words next time my flysheet tears and blows off down the mountain.
A cuppa is always a priority, whatever the peril you find yourself in!
It can stop pain and everything !
And With the new added joy of those wee milk sachets my cuppa ammo is complete in its diversity.

It is also important to note that as you put a brew on you must laugh at the winds attempts to blow you off the hill !
There will be no laughing in camp! The outdoors is a serious buniness don’t you know.
Is that what is known as a Freudian slip?
I don’t know whether “buniness” is missing an “s” or and extra “n”…
Anyway, Ben Lomond is covered in snow again :o)

Sorry I will go back to reading Trail and be all serious, carrying my 65 Ltr rucksack and smelling “of raw meat “
