But congrats anyway, DD, you are a star.

But was Terry the youngster of the party. Ropeboy? Did he have to make the tea? And just so no youngsters get complacent, another of the Kirkus Route party, George Bintley (seventy some), lead the Wayfarers annual night walk last Friday. RLH to Scafell Pikes, via Bowfell, Great End etc and back. 18 miles. In the mist. In the dark. Excellent, Dennis.

My guess is he's been able to do it by keeping active all his life but he's also been very lucky with his health- those extra ten years or so (past the 'normal span') do take their toll, as I well know. Loved the pixie hat! Heartiest congrats to Dennis.
