    How dare you insist I hike your hike.
    up over the hills, theres nothing to fear
    theres a pub across the way with whisky and beer
    its a lengthy journey on the way up to the top
    but it ain't so bad if you have a great big bottle o'scotch

    Great! I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to get back to the day job on Monday. There were over 100 hikers starting out on Saturday morning. A little cold and windy at first, but by mid-morning everything was nice.
    I'm typically not the social hiker type, but it was a nice change of pace. I met a lot of great people and will definitely be back next year.

    It was a killer, for sure! Good fun for the whole family.
    I will admit I got a heck of a blister on my heel, walking on that road is hard on your feet. Haven't had a blister like that in years...

    Looks like it was a good starting crowd. I know that the first weekend is always big and dies off after that. Nice day.
