Thank you rural roamer that has cheered me up after a pretty awful day
(did something to my back getting up off the sofa on the way to work, been in pain all day
daft or nasty customers doing me head in at work all day
the stoooopid driver of the bus I get into town to catch my bus home left 4 minutes earlier than timetabled so I missed it and I had to walk/hobble for a mile and a half grrrrrr!!!!
)
I have met most of the people described, I am not one of them obviously
What made me smile was the Award Winners one
"Unfeasibly young looking, they are bowed beneath huge new rucksacks crammed with everything you'd need to climb Everest, despite the fact it's a summers day on Helvellyn"
It was a "summers" day on Sunday on Helvellyn and the youngsters who got caught out it dire conditions (it was much colder and wetter than forecast) didn't have "rucksacks crammed with everything you'd need to climb Everest" yet they have been given a lot of grief by people on social media for not being properly equipped. Perhaps the Award Winners have been caught out in poor conditions and now take more gear than they need just in case?
A very well written, knowledgeable and amusing article, I feel much better now
