It’s strange though, as I mentioned earlier, butt Ive not got a problem with, but I react completely differently to mate (and fella as mentioned by others). This thread shows we all react differently to this sort of thing, but, thinking about it a bit more, butt sounds genuine to me in a way mate doesn’t.Quote:

I think that with Butt, it's so regional and colloquial, that it comes across as welcoming, in the same way (I suppose) the equivalent in different states of the USA. They would be born from the people, the environment etc, so would have a feel of authenticity. That's my deep thinking for the day.....Quote:

Well done both of you , its still a decent hike.
Anyway . he is at the wind up , bless him..
Abandoned Ship? How so Jim? The Munros are a group of mountains are they not? I went the tourist route up Snowdon, it was really busy. I've always fancied a bit of wild camping Jim, although i'm pretty certain that i'd get myself killed....Quote:

We found them on the way back following our footsteps . No one else was on the mountain which tells you it was interesting . The weather changes in a nano second , your footsteps disappear in minutes when the snow comes ... Your phone discharges at an alarming rate and that may be your only way back to find a route to safety .
If you have a spirit of adventure this is the place for you .
Its an incredible buzz because you are no longer in control .

I run 40 miles a week jut to feel the elements on my face and to get that Dopamine kick that lasts for hours. Sounds like you love what you do Jim, which is nice. I actually hate running, although it's so addictive, the buzz i mean... Keep going jim :thumbup:Quote:

A group of mountains that are over a certain height, named Munro's after the bloke who listed them, and measured them? (god knows) imagine naming a mountain range after yourself? I felt a sense of entitlement when it was decided that my boy would have my first name as his middle name....Quote:

I went up on my own , decent hike , no real path nearer the top , more rocky .
The cloud came down when I was close to the top , once again , always respect the mountains.
Very quiet part of Scotland , I usually keep away from the NC 500 but can see the draw.
Enjoy , make sure you are walking fit , its hard going.:thumbup:
Yeah but he isnt a mountain :hehe: Tuerto ... no wonder ..Quote:

I couldn't take to him at all. This was about two years ago, but that was the last time I felt properly irritated by that approach.
