So this 50 hills venture hasn’t gone quite as planned.  What with one thing and another – an overseas holiday at Easter, broken ribs that took way longer than they should have to heal, and any number of weekend commitments not involving mountains, it’s been a slow start.  Fair to say, I’m a good way behind the curve.  Just over two thirds of the way through the year, I’ve managed just 13 (somewhat less than one third) of the scheduled 50.

However, there’s nothing that gets me motivated more than a big, non-negotiable deadline, so it’s time to start making up some lost ground.  As I said in the first post on the blog, all welcome to join in, it would be great to have company.  So that you can get a flavour of the fabulousness of the hills already negotiated, the fun my fellow walkers and I have been having, and the fashion statement that is the Scottish Autism summit T-shirt, I will post brief accounts of the first 13.  Please support me achieve the remaining 36, in whatever way possible.  Busy weekend of summiting coming up soon (22-23 September, venue tbc)…
