The main purpose of this post is to thank the young couple who lent me a headlamp for the descent, and to warn any other novices that they should carry a light at this time of year. I'm not sure I'd have made it in the dark.
I completed the hike as far as the base of the Haystack. There were lots of ultra-fit people strolling and even jogging up and down the thing with gay abandon but being an unfit, overweight 59 year old I found it a struggle.
My legs still ache several days later.As I was coming down I vowed I'd never repeat this but oddly, now I can't wait to do it again.
I'm going to train for it though. Here in my part of England there are no comparable climbs but I think a walk along the coastal path from Lulworth Cove to Weymouth would about equal the exertion.
If the above mentioned good samaritans read this could they say hi on http://tinyurl.com/peanutbutterpretzel
Thanks! Ian
