Had no net all weekend or phone but back now, wow Phil... that is a fantastic idea.
A real bonding exercise too with your family. I hope you have the most amazing few days and as it is your birthday , you won't have to put your hand in your pocket for your wallet once :) :)
Great training for Haiger too

You cannot be serious Bernie ! Whenever I spend any time with my two sons they adopt a true yorkshireman's position and come with their pocket openings sewn up .
Looking forward to it though . I will let everyone know how we get on

Yorkshire Lad, and Family,
I wish you all on your 60mile walk the best of luck and hopfully not to many blisters. A friend of mine climb the Old Man of Hoy, on his 60th, He lives on Orkney, and as done it many time,s, so it may have not have been such a task for him, as your walk will be for you. Just take your time, and nothing is lost, if it takes an extra day, it will still be an achivement.

Hope the weather will be good to you all.

Denise : )

Happy Birthday, Phil.
60 is only a number - quite a big number though but still only a number :)
