These are from a good hard climb two nights ago with my Troop.

The best route in life is rarely the easiest. A little sweat won't kill you.

There's no sense looking back, your challenges lie ahead.

False peaks can give rise to false hopes. Don't let them.

Don't pause too long during your climb, you can lose your momentum.

Long shadows don't always come from giants. Work hard while the sun is still up.

It's possible to thrive even in a harsh environment.

Don't forget to glance backward. You might miss something special.

Take time to stop and look around. You're missing good stuff.

Great views! You live in a beautiful part of the world. It's very true what you said. It reminds me the 3 years I spent in Mountain Infantry back in time..We have done a lot of walking and climbing, used to hate it ,day after day,tired and hungry, snow and ice. But I would come back to it anytime now!

Very nice B, got back from the Lake a few hours ago after 2 hours of watersking. You know when you got to the top of that Mountain, that's how I feel now with bells on. Not sure if I'll be able to walk tomorrow!

31 degrees her in the UK today

Wow, truly beautiful. I could just climb up and sit at the top with a good book, a thermos full of tea and some chocolate digestives.

 

You are a lucky man Nanuq, I can see why you choose to live up there. It's a healthier, happier, freer life. Enjoy my friend.

Beautiful. I'm still annoyed they decided to send someone else to Alaska instead of me, would have been 2 weeks with loads of time to explore.

One place to take a holiday me thinks.
