Hells yeah, the legs sure are feeling it today I was really worried I had lost her to be fair and the thought of going up and not finding her nearly had me abandon the mission. I had to tell myself that was not an option and that she deserved a good looksee Does anyone else talk to themselves in the bush?

I always tend to think out loud (very quietly) when I'm hunting by myself. Run a few things past myself.... You are not alone Gibo

That's why you take young bloods like @The Janitar.... Still not as tough as us old bugger's though....

Good to see that your knee held up too

The thought did cross my mind, especially when the zip on my pack had a moment and some stitching creaked

Yeah it went well, they both did. The legs get a bit shaky down hill under load though, got to really watch my step. I even took the plb out of my pack and put it on my belt

But then they may think I'm talking to them

Good work mate, nothing like a nice simple recovery aye

Good read, well done.

I'm a fan of a walking pole for the downhill stuff with Veni on board, no good with my wobbly old knees.

Good stuff

Bloody good shit Gibo. You are only a young buck so you shouldn't be feeling it in your knees yet. Anyway pain is only weakness leaving your body.

Heckofva job Gibbo.
