and this weeks award goes to this prize turkey,
he couldnt wait 2 mins while i had my summit moment,
unfortunately with trying to rush, i forgot to focus the drone,
which means you good people all miss out on a fly over and
360 view of haystacks summit and surrounding views ...  >:(


congratulations...
youve earned your place on here...  >:D

No slugs on my summit AGAIN I think you you two are just going to the wrong places

Image may contain: mountain, sky, outdoor and nature


We were looking down on a tall slim blond lady on a col maybe 300 metres away, it was a bit like that Chandler quote, from 30 yards she looked real class, from 300 metres it looked like something of Baywatch.

She knew we were watching her cos she posed running her fingers thro her long hair several times.

Then she changed her top, that got my my mate rummaging thro his sac for the binos, the language was bad when he realised he had left em behind!!!!!!!!



Are you sure your going to the right places Beefy?

I noticed the same guy has put another post on his blog about this topic. It’s called ‘An Ode to the Summit Slug’ and its hilarious. Definitely worth a read, and I agree with him 100%. Slugs are a pain the a**e. It wont let me post an external link but if you go back to start of this thread and click the blog link - he’s added the new post to the bottom his page - highlighted in pink.

Excellent 😁
I doubt anything will change where summit slugs are concerned, judging by the walk I did today, most people observed the two metre distancing, moving over to one side as I moved over to the other when we passed,however a lot of them walked past me as if they never heard of covid 19, unbelievable,

Brilliant poem  O0  ;D

I wanted to get a shot of the boulders called Pots and Pans, no chance, people slugging on it! Can we have an easier walk next time beefy, I'm bleddy knackered, I'm not used to going up hills these days  ;)

On the M60 bit coming back there were "Reports of animals" and the speed signs were saying 60mph. Didn't see any animals so it was disappointing really  :D

If it is cookware you are after, there is a Kettle Stone at NZ 00440 08016 and about 100m SW there is a Frying Pan Stone.  I guarantee you will have those to yourself.
