Scafell Pike, New Year Meet

So midnight and we had just made it .. there was several parties all up there and one even had a radio.
As the bells rang I proposed to Sue .. then we spent the next hour drinking champagne, beer, whiskey and anything else we had carried up in celebration.
We did not have much food, and it all went to our heads quickly.

We all crashed out ...  Sue, Bryon and I in bivvy bags, and Alan found somewhere for his tent ....  on top of the summit cairn!

The whole summit was like a disaster area..  bodies spread around in and over the boulders.

My head hurt .. as I think did everyones ...  Bryon even went off the long way down to see if he could clear it, while Sue and I followed the others down the normal route ...

Next the long drive home then I had to go and repeat it all again with her father.
