Dear Jill, I'm 'worn out' after just LOOKING at your album - you have FAR more energy than I do ! LOL ... Thanks for sharing your experience and I was fascinated by some of the meal choices! <grin> ... Hugs, Judy

It looks like you've stolen our weather Jill. We've been having an amazing October with virtually no rain and brilliant sunshine. Not what we're renowned for. This really does look like a fantastic day out(other than the weather)I may well pay this place a visit someday.Take care Jill. craig

I am exhausted just from viewing your photos! Quite strenuous day for you. Thanks for sharing what to me is a very unusual experience.

Dear Jill, didn't you ever tire? I guess you had such good time you did not even notice the steep climbs and the slippery wetness etc. I admire your fortitude and resolve to enjoy yourself. Sitting in the comfort of an air-conditioned room I too enjoyed the slideshow and your beautiful and eventful photography. Best wishes...Suresh

Dear Jill, I enjoyed this album very much. It brought it all back to me - the wetness, the steepness and the absolute fun of it all! I'd do it all again any day. Loved the video of me on the bridge! I'm surprised your camera survived getting so wet. The little plants were so easily overlooked. I'm glad those photos came out all right. I love the roseroot - such delicate colours. Love Pam

Jill, you amaze me with your fortitude in tackling something like this route. That weather does not help either, glad I live on the dry side of the Country! Also a lot flatter so I have never been tempted to climb mountains (unless there is a road for my car LOL). Many thanks for your many kind words on my latest Norfolk & the Snettishan spectacular albums. No sunshine this w/e & it is high tides again, big shame, I did go down again in the dark yesterday but a waste of time, tuesday looks promising though. Eric

Hi Jill, A great set of pictures capturing the day. You must have had a real sense of achievement and with plenty of things to keep up the interest. Wish I could have been there. Brill. Chris

Seeing your photos has made me want to do the VF again ... though perhaps in sunshine next time! A great record of the day, Jill. Jo

Hi Jill, you all obviously had such a good time. I still think you're all as mad as a box of frogs though. Best wishes, Dave.

Dear Jill,I'm so behind with your albums that i think i will start here & work backwards!This looked like a fantastic outing despite the rotten weather. I'm determined to get up there one day, but preferably in sunshine! Love, Angela
