Jeff, you need to see a doctor
When I saw the thread title I thought Jeff had injured himselfA significant part of me hoped this was an opportunity to do a sponsored walk with our full size mascot.
Filbert's been up Ling Fell this afternoon.
When you getting Skiddaw?
I climbed Skiddaw when I was 12. It's a pretty easy climb, albeit a bit of a slog. How unfit are you exactly?It's on my list. Along with the other 203 Wainwrights I've not done yet...
But I'm saving the bigger ones until I'm a bit fitter.
I could have climbed it when I was 12. I'm 55 now and haven't done any regular exercise for 20 years, until recently. I'm sure I could manage Skiddaw, Blencathra etc today, but I'm working my way up gradually. Plenty of smaller hills to start with.I climbed Skiddaw when I was 12.

Just get yourself and Old John lubed up first.I might give Old John a go at the weekend, but might be a struggle
Skiddaw is absolutely excellent as long as you don't go up from Keswick which is a boring scree slope.To be honest, Skiddaw ain't that great. Some of my faves are Blencathra, Great Gable, Haystacks, Allen Crags, and the lovely little Catbells. Helvellyn is also a good one.
