Rikki your old boy 79 and still hill walking! Way to go.
adeejaysdelight, it's so much more accessible than it used to be though. Some of our main routes may still be lacking in a modern sense, but then much of it used to be single track roads when I was a kid. Took ages to get anywhere.
The hills are busy too. In the 70's very few people has done all the Munros. I've lost count of how many folks I've met who have done the lot! If I get back to it, (fingers crossed etc) I'd like do more Corbetts and Grahams. In some ways more of a challange, much less likely to find a path and much much increased chance of not seeing a single sole all day.
I'm not a camper. But a few times when I've been out walking, and not left a route with anybody, I've left a note on the car seat stating where I was going and when I would be back, just in case.
