In which the brother returns from his antipodean antics and wished he hadn’t bothered. Dan Duffy teaches us to always turn at the snow line , Mr Power gets frostbite and I develop COCbite .Herself got the usual hypothermia , shes moving to austrailia too. <\/p>\n
It was lashing at the glen and all of us had harboured a secret hope taht no one else would turn up so we could go home . But damnation there were 5 of us . Mr PS was recovering from his treacherous attendance at the 6.1ers xmas do , his back obviously not bad enough to affect his appetite for glasses of cold milk.
\nObviously the open mountain held no attraction so the initial plan was to do the 5 hills of the Ulster way . Batts , High Batts , Sheep pen etc . But after the high Batts we couldnt face the cold descent so darted in to reverse trails , across a surprisingly low ford and reverse to Slieve meel exit , black down to Ulster way and home by trails..absolutely frozen and soaked .<\/p>\n
