Jeans Hut Ghost of the past. pen and wash sketch

Great tribute and sketch Malcolm

Thank you for that Dennis, I think we do need to remember things, so many things I knew associated with the hills have either gone or have changed and not always for the better, I think we are in danger of loosing the true sence of the wilderness experience if we are not carefull in some places there seems to be more signs than on motorways, what happened to learning to read a map and compass, that's my little moan over.

Lovely pen and wash tribute Malcolm, sad story.

Thank you Carole, yes always sad when someone did not come back off a hill.

A fine tribute Malcolm and so well expressed with your pen & wash sketch. I remember my father teaching me to read a map when I was about eleven.....don't ask me why but it's a skill I've remembered and has come in handy when I've been out and about.

Thanks Fiona for that lovley comment, like your Father I started teaching my daughter map and compass at a very young age and her first trip on the hills was in a very basic papoose carrier just alliminium tubing and a canvas bucket seat, I put polystyrene pipe insulation around the tube as padding to protect her face, not like the very fancy but very good ones they have now.
