Things heard (apart from why are you carrying a fishing rod?)
Why do I do it (SOTA)?
Why do I get up early?
Because:
I like walking
I like personal challenges
I love watching the view emerge as the sun rises
The fells glowing red as the sun strikes the bracken
Beating the crowds (road and walking)
In short:
That’s a bonny picture with 11 likes in 3hrs. That should convince you that points are a mere distraction in the grand scheme of things.
The likes belong to G/LD-034 and surroundings
The points however are all mine 
(Oh and title of this thread was said at the top of this hill! Hard to disagree on a day like that… but, still!)
Fresh air, lowers blood pressure and one feels so stimulated afterwards.
