All the best for the New Year. I hope Santa was good to you, because the weather certainly wasn’t. I don’t how many managed the 12 days but it was certainly a test of my own resolve at times. Following chats with Mr. Nash and so as not to take an unfair advantage of my geographic locations I thought I’d just it to make the challenge that bit more awkward for me so set a minimum elevation of what was acceptable for my hills. It was very nearly my undoing……..(note to self; free thinking can be dangerous) However, with perseverance, bloody mindedness and a fair bit if cursing I finished them on Sunday night and have put them here to verse.
Get your entries in to secretary@carnethy.com and we’ll pull them all together in a couple of weeks down at KB. It’ll be interesting to see who’s been putting it about where 🙂
Ciao for now,
Matt

A Whernside in a Wharfedale vallee
On the second day of Christmas my fell shoes sent to me
Two Burnsall Bumps
and a Whernside in a Wharfedale vallee
On the third day of Christmas my fell shoes sent to me
Three Litton Legs
Two Burnsall Bumps

Seven Cowgills a Charging
Eight Culters a Cantering
Nine Lowthers Loping
Ten Tweedsmuirs a Tramping
