Whose up for a Challenge?

That's very impressive, how many do they have left to do?

Why is it very hard to do?

Congratulations ! Its hard enough in the summer.

They do look very happy Carole ,the scenery is stunning good luck to them i'm sure with their determination and energy they will complete them all . :o)

good luck to them. It looks a big challenge especially with all the snow around.

Glad they made it up there ok,Carole..lovely pics,and they are doing so well :o) x

They're very brave ! ... and must be fit lol :o)

Many Thanks to everyone for your comments and Congratulations [which I will pass onto Simon and Clare.} Thanks, Sticki,, Junna, DianneB, Amy, Olive, Sandra and Hywel ;0))

I have added more information regarding Alfred Wainwright for those of you who may be interested.

I used to love the Julia Bradbury programmes about the Wainwright walks,on TV..so interesting,and he was such a dedicated person,wasn't he? I didn't realise Simon and Clare had done so many ! ..what an achievement to them both ..:o)

I tried to find one of the wainwright videos on youtube but found this ~ its quite nice

Stunning photos, Carole ..
What a lot of Wainwrights ! ;o)

Well done to them both..

Thanks Terra and Holly;0)

Thanks Stickie Just looked at the Video, beautiful view and lovely calming music, wish I had the energy I would set off right now [or maybe when the snow goes ;0)].

Me too PP, I liked the music too but I couldnt find out what it was.

Stickit The music was "The Sun in the Stream" By Enya just watched it again, very haunting and dreamlike;0)

oh ~ thanks PP ~ how did i not know that ~ i knew i had heard it before and wondered about the braveheart sound track

if i told you i have nearly all the Enya cds there is really no excuse for me not recognising it!!!

but thank you for that, i thought it was a rather nicely done video! i have seen several programs on wainwright, we have several of his books, but i couldnt find any of them on youtube. your son and his partner have done incredibly well climbing so many of the hills/monroes/fells.

Your Welcome Stickit;0)

thank you

Really honestly speaking, they should have gone with a group, as an accident in this weather could have been serious with Emergency Services having difficulty getting out to them.

I hope they wait till better weather Carole after seeing that acciedent at Glencoe but I wish them luck for the rest of their walks as I recall you saying he wanted to climb a big rock. I would love to go but affraid wheel chairs would be out of bounds stuck or skiddddd hehe.

Congratulations to the pair of them ... am interested to know how many months/years it has taken them to do the 197 walks? They look healthy and happy on it! ... :o)

Shirley they have been together almost 5years and have been doing walks throughout Great Britain and Europe , so you could say that they are well and truly Hooked;0))

I would enjoy walks in summer but would say 'no thanks' to the winter ones! Shall always remember walking in The Algarve (SW Portugal) and coming across field after field of wild Lupins ... an amazing and beautiful sight.

I agree Shirley walking in summer in the Algarve sounds wonderful! Simon and Clare have walked in Spain and Italy Clare was a guide at one time and led walks in the Pyrenees, ;0)

Wow! That is amazing and very beautiful:)
