I think signing up for the fortnight does force your hand - I know that a other times if I plan to go out for a few days and the weather forecast looks dire I may just stay by the log burner! If you are on the Challenge you just grit your teeth and get on with it.FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-43085604989209362692015-06-03T15:55:21.924+01:002015-06-03T15:55:21.924+01:00Ah Mick.

Hmm, I know what you...(It was Ballater, at the bar)<br />Hmm, I know what you mean, but there has to be something else. I see and walk with Challenge friends outwith the Challenge. I wouldn't have met them without the Challenge admittedly, but I don't need the Challenge to keep those friendships, so there has to be some other magic that makes it so addictive.<br />For me, it is the walking. I never spend time in the hills like I do on the Challenge at any other time, so is it the security I feel? Maybe.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-88720290792868858762015-06-02T09:08:21.279+01:002015-06-02T09:08:21.279+01:00Hi Louise
