I take his photo at the top of every hill, as nobody believes his little legs can walk so far.

I suspect therefore that most of the debris was recent - about 15 minutes recent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-81307760406729214232009-09-21T17:00:49.610+01:002009-09-21T17:00:49.610+01:00Bit mizzly, Ken - but obviously a popular path jud...Bit mizzly, Ken - but obviously a popular path judging by the state of it and the used tissues, mars bar wrappers, drinks tins....<br />It wasn't clear what the sproglets were supposed to be doing, other than sliding on the grass.

I was marched up it in 1967 in a blizzard as one of my few school outings. Dress code doesn't seem to have changed much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
