Therefore on return from "knees up" at Grantham, home of Mad Maggy, Granny of Grantham I am resolved to ascend the dizzie height of Bishop Wilton Wold, 807 feet above sea level. This will involve motor transport before i can step over the fence and be photograghed in heroic pose by the trig point.jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861264263024373139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-73037954742186273732010-03-17T19:52:39.951+00:002010-03-17T19:52:39.951+00:00Mike: It's rare that I can do a walk that head...Mike: It's rare that I can do a walk that heads east - they are generally all over the place as I have to get back to where I started...<br />Perhaps that explains why it takes us so long on the Chally - we are just going round in circles...<br /><br />Des: <i>"effortless doing"</i>, eh?

Heading East on the TGO Chally thing is the main key to success.. Heading West, or any other direction is a sure way to failure.Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.com
