plaicemat Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Have a good day, Mark, this is a landmark one. Although you're probably out floating in your kayak somewhere. Terry. Quote
plaicemat Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 Which reminds me of an occassion about 10 years ago in February when I was on the top of Cairngorm in horizontal snow. A friend who used to help me with my groups in the mountains was an instructor of special forces troops in parachuting and mountain stuff. As such, he was a bit of a superman who would jump small peaks before breakfast. In an effort to impress, I called him on his mobile which was answered after a delay and I duly informed him what my situation was. He just said to be careful and that he had to go as he was on the Irish sea in a kayak with a group of marines and they had the snow as well. Bugger! What does one have to do to look good?

great white Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Terry Its hard to Impress RM's with stores of hardship. . When they get a few drinks in them and start to share theirs you understand why Charlie Quote
plaicemat Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 That was the reason for trying, Charlie; I'd spent years having to listen to his tales of daring-do that I wanted to have my moment. He's actually RAF but on frequent secondment to the various 'special' branches. Terry. Quote
