Still a wonderful acheivement. Long may the progress continue.

Hi lisa

well done ...although 2 years did sound ecessive. Having said that I am aiming to walk back on Kinder scout. So far it wil have taken me 16 years, but I WILL get there.

Did Snowdon , by train, so not sure that counts. Tried this year while in Wales but plans didnt go well.I will have to have a go next year.

Have decided not to worry about how long it takes just completing it is an achievment.

So once again WELL DONE YOU !!!!!

All the best Pax

Well done! I struggled getting up Kinpurney hill with the cubs this year, that to me was a fantastic achievement. Who cares how long it takes? It the glow of knowing you have finished something worthwhile x

lovely views, from there, last time I was there was the time the SAS men died doing the Fan dance.

From Storey Arms?

I may pass by close soon on the Gap Road as I'm staying at my folks place.

Very, VERY well done! I'm most impressed. As a walker myself, I'm also reasonably jealous :)
