Title: some times i think im jinxed !!
Post by: Roman (Ray) on July 31, 2011, 05:11:59 PM
hi all.
i decieded to have a few hours out this afternoon to try a path going up the side of one of great mountain in the rhondda valleys.penrhys mountain. the mountain of all mountains.lol..as i could.nt find the beggining of the path i decieded to walk straight up the face of the mountain.wrong move ray.a quarter of the way up the mountain i still cant see the path im looking for so on i climb.half way up the mountain still no path but exausted sat down for 2 coffees and some chocalate thinking shall i go on or go back down after working so hard to get half way up i decieded it was.nt going to beat me.. after my 10 min break i start climbing the mountain again.ive taken on a few good mountains living in the valleys but this one is like kilimanjaro mixed with a bit of the amazon jungle photos to follow.lol.almost at the top and cant wait i must say im really burnt out i dont think i can do much detecting it really used all my enegy its taken me 1hr.20mins to reach the top.as i come over the top of the mountain to see penrhys golf corse was directly in front of my eyes.and it was going about half a mile either side of me.drained out stunned what id just done was for nothing ray.nothing at all fella..lol..feeling sick and unable to walk another half mile across the mountain i decieded the day was over for me.lol.the only way now is straight back down.sometimes walking down the front of a mountain can be as hard as walking up it as all the weight is on your legs.it took about 45 mins to get back down.when mrs coburn picked me up my legs had gone.lol.i felt like a jelly baby.lol from the legs down anyway.did.nt even switch the machine on..penrhys mountain beat me hands down..lol..heres a few photos only half way up.i did.nt think of taking a photo at the top as photos where the last thing on my mind.lol..i swear sometimes i think im f*****g jinxed.
