We have two decent mountain expanses here in the Frozen North. I hesitate to call them ranges. Tomorrow I'll be in the Mournes area, though I think we're walking either Tollymore or Castlewellan Forest to break the Year 10s in. We also have the Sperrins and I am thoroughly ashamed to say that, apart from adoring my every high drive through the bleakly spectacular Glenshane Pass, I have never set boot thereon.
Tomorrow will be the first training walk for this year's Bronze Duke of Edinburgh group. I haven't been out on expedition walks since I was teaching full-time. I'm very excited, and have my gloves and hat and waterproofs and spare socks and will have a flask of tea.
I am also wondering if it would be very anti-social to read my book on the bus all the way there and all the way back....

Your bootlaces are those of a femme fatale.
Slip a book cover from a book (in a very obscure language) onto the book you reading..that should keep natterers away.
Hope your training walk went well and you had a great day in the outdoors! :)
don't forget your torch and inflatable pillow!
Read your book! Drink your tea! Enjoy yourself!
