I would like to register with you my Walk details.
My card reads
Mr T Bannister, crossing 24 February 1968, time 17 Hrs 20 mins, west to east, issued by The Chief Dirger Potto Hill, Swainby, Northallerton.
“Condolences on your crossing”
…..are offered on the card!
PS I am now 76 yrs of age and have hung up my long distance walking boots! However I can still remember my walk. 6 of us started out, only 4 finished and there was snow up on Fylingdales, by the RAF station.
I had to carry a companion for the last half mile or so because he’d collapsed. I knew that if I didn’t make the last bit then both of us would probably have perished in the dark, so I was assuredly motivated!
No mobile phones nor nanny rescuers around then!
Cheers
Tony Bannister
