Great to hear from you, I hope you are all keeping well. Glad you liked the pics. We havent decided where to go for our next summer trip yet but watch this space. Latest "Karlism" was in the Cabane du Trient when he remarked " Look, a genuine CLUCKOO COCK ".

Hey guys, just thought i'd drop you a line and see whether you'd got the video; my email has packed up and so had the computer until about two days ago, so i've only just been able to log on. Excellent photos. Could also email me Shane's adress. We've made a video for him aswell. speak again soon, Ben and Paul.

Karl told me about the trip, but it's fab to get some of the detail and see some photos (though I nearly cried when I saw the one of Karl going down the crevasse!) Well done all - RESPECT!

Hi Lisa, glad you enjoyed the Mont Blanc section, by the way I nearly cried when I saw Karl coming back " OUT " of the crevasse !!!!! ( just kiddin ).

The pictures are brill and it's a humorous and informative site:-> I don't think I'd ever be able to follow in by big brothers footsteps (excuse the punn), Scar Fell is the highest I've walked so far!

You would have to be real slow to follow in Karls footsteps, he's always at the back !!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, Karl hasn't taken me on any of the walks yet, though he's hoping to do soon. My mum and dad haven't seen the website yet although hopefully they will, soon.

Like the site, especially the team mugshots. I'll come back again soon.

Hello Yuhong, Get a picture on Loughrigg Fell and I will put it on the site for your parents to see.

Never been to the Lakes before. Websites like yours help us novices select better locations for base camp & suggest 'must dos' for our itinerary... and most importantly of all... get us excited about our holiday! Thank you & keep up the tramping!

Hi Rachael, thanks for the kind remarks and enjoy your holiday. If you spot three or four loons ambling about up there it will probably be us.

What can I say? Your photos seem to have come out better than ours, great shots. Thanks for including us in your excellent trip report, I hope its inspired others to go out to the highlands, especially the spectacular Cairngorms, and have a go. Just to say thanks for the e-mail and when we get the rest of the photos back from Pauls camera, we'll send you some if that's all right?

Great site, may see you in August. Thanks, bye

This is really just a message and question for Alan, Shaun and Karl but maybe some one else could help me.

Yes, its me fresh from the plane and the plastic sandwiches! How was the last day? Just OUR luck to leave on the sunniest, easiest and most beautiful day! Both me and my dad (Paul; who says Hi) saw, heard and filmed the helicopter but did you see or know anything about the fall? Just interested.

Anyway what I wanted to ask was: We're both interested in your 'Paramo' kit and after the detailed descriptions you gave us, I think we'll buy a coat and maybe a pair of trousers for myself aswell. Could you tell us exactly which 'model' you were wearing e.g. Windproof or Waterproof - Mens - Alta or Cascada - Jackets or Trousers

Many thanks and by the way we're preety certain on doing Mont Blanc now, maybe we'll see you up there on the 4-11/8/02!

Nice site hope to hear from you soon

Happy Wanderings! Ben and Paul

Very impressive pictures, but how about some directions, (such as GPS co-ordinates, highway numbers, or something), in case someone wanted to go there themselves.

Youre spot on with your observation David, I have amended the walks and added co-ordinates.

What a great site!! Do U take guests on your walks/scrambles? I'm a hillwalker from wayback and go out regularly, leading walks for my local RA group. I enjoyed your comment about Bristly Ridge, I was up there a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy the hills & i'll visit the site again for sure.

Hi HK, guests is probably too loose a term, foolhardy individuals is probably more accurate, no seriously, if you are ever up our way drop me a line and if we can we will meet up.

Excellent site, particularly the scrambling section. Regular visitor to the Lakes & Peak District, and my wife and I have just completed our first weeks walking in Glen Coe, Scotland. Managed 5 Munros and a couple of Glen walks.

Keep up the good work on publishing walk details ... and importantly Safety details.
