Another, if you haven't read it, is 'Rope boy' by Dennis Gray.<br />A funny, hair raising, and informative account of a bunch of well known Yorkshire hill walkers and climbers in the 1950's.<br />One cunning plan in this book was to blow up Napes Needle in the Lakes with several sticks of dynamite as it 'needed seeing to' and was 'a tourist eyesore.'<br />Well worth a read. I found it years ago in my local library. Probably out of print now which is a shame as it was a real classic. Still available on Amazon I see.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-11670044452528135362013-04-07T13:56:52.455+01:002013-04-07T13:56:52.455+01:00Hello Neil.

Hope they know to wait for more settled conditions before breeding but these things are formed over decades and centuries of stable patterns of behaviour and they may not be able to change fast enough to keep up with our unpredictable cycles of weather.<br />An age of mass extinction surely looms ahead.<br />Great woe descends on the little funny things in our midst.<br />Yours faithfully. <br />Cassandra.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-57555272088631811872013-04-07T00:27:38.545+01:002013-04-07T00:27:38.545+01:00That's some snow there for the southern end of...That's some snow there for the southern end of Scotland - some of those drifts are truly massive!<br /><br />I knew from the climb names which mountain you were talking about as they're mentioned a lot in my 2 regular reads - Borthwick's 'Always a Little Further' and 'Mountain Days & Bothy Nights'.<br /><br />Love the 'Chronic Hill' ;-)<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-5613173152409805862013-04-05T19:40:45.933+01:002013-04-05T19:40:45.933+01:00That's a lot of snow!

I'm just back from a couple of days walking in the Oban area; no snow there at all. But all the biggies- Ben Lui, Ben Cruachan etc all still have a good covering. I see that MWIS is forecasting some more snow to come!!!Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521811229603749067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-21091205046949070752013-04-05T11:43:27.207+01:002013-04-05T11:43:27.207+01:00Hi Alistair.

Great area and so lucky its under an hour from Glasgow.<br />How about if we tow a few icebergs from the Clyde behind a boat up to where you are. That should do the trick, water wise.<br />Brian Blessed. Wont you have to teach him Gaelic first or is he already fluent in it? ('In it'... by George I've just mastered another language myself...Home Counties/Inner London :) Magic init?

They should lock them in a room with Brian Blessed repeating the names over and over until they get them :)Alistairhttp://stravaiger.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
