Good grief!!!! :shock: I'd have thought the ice and subzero temperatures would have a pleasantly anaesthetising effect on all the lacerations you'd collect while poncing about on razor sharp crags like that! Not to mention the fact that, when the will to live finally ebbs away, you can just lie down and do the fishfinger thing, hopefully drifting away to somewhere where your mates don't want to drag you up ruddy great piles of rock.

The concept of getting pleasure from climbing up ginormous mountains "just 'cos they're there" has always successfully eluded me, thank goodness. In Bobworld, we're all perfectly adequately equipped to go and bonk a gorilla if we decided it was a good idea - but that doesn't mean we all have to troop off and try it for fun! :shock: :wink:

Nobody fancies the Horseshoe trail then?
It looks good Vanny :-) from my perspective there are a number of 'buts'.

I've done PYG / miners twice before so in a way I'll be re-living pleasant memories etc - might be something to do in the future if my hip holds out or if I get a stst jobby (anyone know the part number :-) ) though if I tried the Horseshoe at the moment I suspect that my right leg would fall off the mountain a couple of minutes before the rest of me. If I'm going up the PYG and the hip starts playing up it's easy to hang a left and get onto the Miners track.
Anyone that volunteers to do that kind of thing for no good reason needs a healthy dose of close-in phrenology IMHO!
There's a part of me that's inclined to agree - using the Horseshoe
Trail just to walk up the mountain is a bit like going out of the bedroom window and shinning down the drainpipe just to go to Sainsburys :-)
Can we have a "Drinking beer lying down" competition?
Will I get disqualified for drinking red wine ? :lol: I get the feeling I wouldn't win this one anyway :-)

Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of lateral thinking - I just think it's a good idea to place limits on it sometimes :lol:

There is a nice view from the top - especially if it's one of the 14 days each year that the summit is free of cloud :-)

I'll probably be on the red wine too...although not whilst lying down, at least not for the first 10 minutes anyway.

I'm sure no one would be so anal as to be worried what car you came in. Xantias are just BXs in a heavy overcoat anyway, aren't they?

You could turn up in whatever you want as far as I'm concerned - it's the person that's more important than the car!
