Still in the grip of the lurghy, it's nice to remember (considerably) previous achievements.
This was issued after an expedition organised by my late grandfather Eric Arnison. He wanted us to be the last people to the top of the highest mountain in Lancashire. The county boundaries changed very soon after our ascent. One of Boy One's middle names is Eric and this is partly why.
I love this Ellen, what a fabulous memory
ReplyDeleteIt is thanks.
DeleteFab memory. x

DeleteI love this. I've climbed the Old Man of Conistion several times but it was in Cumbria then. I didn't get a certificate either. Your Grandfather sounds like a very special man.
ReplyDeleteIt's still a hill worth climbing!
DeleteA lovely memory. My Mr's middle name is the same x
ReplyDeleteNot after my Grandpa though!?
DeleteWow! A very specific age for such an achievement! Well done!!

Popping over from TBAM's linky.
Thanks.
DeleteA young age for a big achievement. Well done indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe family joke is that we're all bred to walk long distances, like donkeys.
DeleteA fabulous memory and a great achievement at such a young age. I saw this on pinterest the other day and love it, showed it to my husband and we are determined to do a certificate like this for our son's first trip up a mountain
ReplyDeleteMy bigger two's first mountain was Ben Lomond and I got them personalised mugs to mark the occasion. They were a bit older though.
DeleteWhat a legacy! Fab :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI love this, and what a great piece of family history to keep hold of. I think I love your grandfather. :)
ReplyDeleteHe was an adventurous spirit.
DeleteLovely memories, and a fantastic achievement at such a young age, can't beat boundary changes!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
