We were delighted to welcome Ross today , whether he will ever come back again is another matter as we did a reasonable ( 920m) climbing , although I can hear Mr Power tutting even as I type. The off piste was challenging also as John (SCO) and PS discovered . John seemed to be attempting to customize his hip and Paul went for full flight mode. Peter returned from his winter break so perhaps those annoying photos of snow and skiing etc will stop now. It was a beautiful day even if a bit nippy with some ice . There was much talk of weight loss , training and plans for the year ahead , Mizen-Malin , and WAW amongst them

Route was Burma , Sallys , reverse post , Cairn (#cairnuary) , Knockshee , Fallow corner , tunnel , mast , Cairn again , and home by Glen. Peter and Paddy headed off for more punishment as expected.
