MoD Plod to the Rescue

Out on the hill in, initially, poor weather but cleared into a quite lovely starry night for a bit of night navigation with Markus Baghdatus, aka Dan Draper! Anyway, nice plod up the hill, apart from 'Day of the Ferns' again and found a nice spot out the wind for the perfunctory Tomato soup. Good contour interp' saw us pick up the burn down hill, traverse across to the next and follow it down hill picking up some good features. I'd forgotten my Ay-Up lights, world's best head torch and biking lights, so borrowed Mark's pesky Petzl thingy...how on earth can you nav with that...I could hardly read the map with it!! Anyways, 200m up, Mark's Ay Up picked out the MoDs checking my car (?), so a sprint down to the car saw us gassing with him for 5, and him wondering what the heck he was seeing out the mist; thankfully he kept Fang and Tyson in the back of his car, so we scooted back to Glw in warp time and in bed for midnight. Good night, with conours showing nice, tho used 1.25k as visibility poor without uber Ay Up :) No pics but Sunday on the hills for more fun and games...patience my son! This will keep you going...
Oh yes...it's coming soon :)
