I ****ing hate it . If anyone refers to me as mate (if they know me) I tell them I changed my name by deed poll as "mate" was too common.

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.

To be honest most of you are so far over the hill to be worrying about terms. try to concentrate on walking a bit faster and not taking up a fecking hour chatting about your illnesses at the check out

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.....

You do realise how wrong that sounds Jim..... Just googled it, Wow, impressive, was there snow at the top? Myself and TLG climbed Snowdon some years back, very enjoyable experience, although it was summer time, and man, was it busy!

I have just come back from 3 weeks up Scotland, did 5 munros , abandoned ship on one . Most amazing scary experience at times. You know its dangerous when you are the only people on the mountain and the snow is up to your knees and worse in places..
Snowdon is ok if you use the less popular routes , they are some interesting routes as well . Crib Coch is only for the brave . Did it in a storm 2 years ago . Wouldn't do it now . My brave levels are down to kinda stupid.
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....

There are 280 munros in Scotland ,its a mountain over 3000 feet .Ben MacDui is the second highest mountain in the UK . Doing Munros is called bagging Munros , I have bagged a few but still got many to do .
Myself and my partner went up Ben Lawers a couple of weeks ago in the snow . We were about half way maybe 3/4 of the way up and she realised she had lost her spikes in the snow , carrying on in the snow and ice without spikes would have been really dangerous , foolhardy really . 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 like Butt, it's a shortened version of Buttie, which just can't come across as malevolent in any way, and that's the first thing i look for (because in paranoid) Fella is awful, usually used by people who are *****.

Cheers bu...

What are you trying to say? I'm all edgy now....

The control thing might be a problem for me, the rest i think i would enjoy. I love being outside, it's my therapy. 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

You don't realise how much you and Bob are loved now "butt" has been sanctioned as the Welsh term of love and affection, I will continue to post on here.

You've all missed an opportunity here mind butt.

I couldn't run across my kitchen , but walking , I could walk 500 miles............ Good on you .
Yeah I love the mountains , specially in the winter, when the sane folks stay at home ..
And I love the buzz when I have been places I probably shouldn't on days I probably shouldn't and got to the top ..

What Munro's?

Never walked in Scotland but looking to do so.

Didn't do Ben Hope by chance? Looks wonderful.

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....

I did Jordi . A quick look on my Munro app and its the most Northerly .
I have done the most Northerly , Westerly , Southerly , highest twice (dont bother, but you will.. Ben Nevis ) 2nd highest Ben Macdui , failed on Ben Lawers recently (6th highest), got in real trouble on the three sisters in Glen Coe (near Jimmy Savilles house )

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.

I bought a car from Sinclair in East Tyndall Street and the salesman was giving me the "fella/bro/buddy" treatment all the time, and I thought it made him look daft, particularly as I wasn't communicating with him in that manner.

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.
