From TNR 19-03-2009 Munro for some

Conditions

Clear, windy and cold up near the A54 and at 3shires head, getting drier

Stats and Notes

914m+ Climb…Nearly a 3.5hr trip (especially for the Tythy contingent)

Great debate over whether we really made the 3000ft …GPS/IPhone geekery says “yes”….

…El Pud manual estimation/calculation with wipe-clean OS map in the early hours yielded a “we were 15ft short” response

Good to have our own GP (Dr Simon) in the crew

PTD nearly put him in surgery swerving to avoid a Toad on the first ascent to Standing Stone

Classic Buxton Road Curry washed down nicely with the St Dunstan’s finest ale

Mayhem-2008-like attack of cramp at about 3am for Pete
