replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #Pttravel a1 my profile pic is taken in the Peak District, which I used to live within walking distance of. Now? I'm in Glasgow and thus close to all manner of Scottish mountains, Highland, Lowland, and Island.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Indeed! The queue for the toboggans was a bit long. & we had to get back to the ship, so we went down on the cable car instead!

A2 Way back in 1979 we drove through what I think was Wolf Creek Pass in the Rocky Mountains, but being that long ago, don't hold me to that being the correct name. #PTTravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie A2. But I did get a glimpse of Mount Français, the highest peak on the Antarctic peninsula at 2760 metres, pink with alpenglow from our living room window. (This isn't Français behind the Base A building, this is Mount William at the south end of Anvers Island). #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie It all depends on your skills + equipment. Now we're past the equinox, the nights draw in quickly so it's about how confident + comfortable you are in the dusk/dark. But we've still got a couple of months before we might get into real winter conditions #PTTravel
