+Pharisee Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Ummm.... thanks, guys. This is a bit embarrassing. I've only just seen this. When Nes said she'd started a thread, I thought it was just a simple 'Congrats' thing. I didn't realise you were getting a running commentary (I wondered how Deego found out about it!!) I left home a 1am this morning, drove 190 miles, did the 8 mile 2000 ft hike then another couple of miles or so across Blorenge to pick up The First in Wales (and a trig point) then drove home again. My wife sent me a text message calling me 'a daft ol' bu**er'.... Thank you, honey. I'll treasure that Thanks again. Edited May 29, 2005 by Pharisee Quote Link to comment

Many congratulations John; it's just a shame that you weren't able to do it up in the North with the rest of us. But that one was certainly worth the 1000th! Quote Link to comment
