My favourite mountain is always the last one climbed. I have been walking (Mainly Munros) for a few years now and I have to admit that there are some walks I have prefered to others. Back in September 2003 I took my then 9 month old Cocker Spaniel pup,Lucy, for her first taste of what was to come to the Corbett, Ben Rinnes. She loved it - I loved it. To break her in gently we continued with Corbetts and then discovered GRAHAMS - lower but with just as much character and better views than a lot of the Munros. To date she has completed 10 MUNROS,several TOPS, 10 CORBETTS, 10 GRAHAMS and a few "OTHER" hills. Every walk we go on has special memories. After the walk I log the walk using the MUNROS & CORBETTS programs by Isys. Telling friends and family of our day out always ends with the words "ITS THE BEST WALK I'VE EVER DONE" Until the next one!
My favorite will allways be the first one I climbed when I was 13, Great Gable, we did the traverse and I was hooked, Got a beautifull painting of the mountain painted from LingMell by my Dads wife and you can pick out the traverse on the painting.
In winter, nothing beats Ben Nevis for its fantastic North Face with such a variety of major mountaineering routes from the straightforward No. 4 gulley to the hard classics like Point 5 and Orion Direct. And the excellent ridge approach of the Carn Mor Dearg Arete.
In summer however it wouldn't make my top 5 but the choice of No. 1 would be more difficult.
My fav mountain will always be mont blanc. It was the first of any size I ascended,its of himalayan proportions (base to summit) and the foothills encompass some splendid day walks.Im not A climber but the blanc makes me feel like one.
Kev My previous dog was a Golden Retreiver. Once we were on a short walk on Bennachie in Aberdeenshire. My dog mounted this womans Alsation. She cried out "AAAGH MY DOGS IN SEASON" To which I replied "DON'T WORRY SO IS MINE"
I used to have two bitches that were syncronsed and it was constant. When ever you looked up there were these two dogs at each other.If you woke in the night and looked across the room, they were at it, I did not mind that they were both female but they were mother and dauhter ffs.
