This is me back from sunny Wales (It only rained three times…!) As you can see from the title picture, we are all feeling a bit jaded from all that uphill stuff – I’ll be doing just the one blog post about Wales shortly.
and I’ve been catching up with emails and what the cat did behind the TV whilst we were away – but what about that competition. I had a small flood of entries – and there is one correct answer…..
But its not quite the time to announce this yet. But nearly
As for Wales, I think it was reasonably successful. There is a score on the door.
I managed to bag 5 Marilyns, 9 HuMPs, 13 Hewitts, 20 Nuttalls, 6 Deweys and Clwyd’s county top.
I have to say that there is a lot of overlap between each of the categories of hill mentioned.
There were 58 miles and 14000 feet of upwardly mobile struggling and an equivalent of downhill coasting. I got wet twice (briefly) and had one magnificent temperature inversion and company on two of the seven walks.
I’ll do the post and the competition winner shortly……
I can’t wait….

Welcome back! I see you've worn the dog out......
Welcome back. It looks like it was a good trip. Can't wait to read the adventures.
What are these HuMPs ? As a HMP3 I am curious (very).
Was at The Black Bull in Frosterley last Saturday for an Unctous Scoff. Braised shin of beef. Later we processed through Crook. And now I begin to understand . . .
a HuMP, Hump3, is a hill which has a HUndred Metre Prominence. i.e at least 100 metres drop all the way around. This ensures a good view (usually/oten/sometimes...)
Y'mean you passed within 200 metres of Kinpetowers and failed to call in? .... dhuhh......
