I believe Rab and Elaine fancy it.
I will of course again be at hand at camp Tommies to take photo's and keep up moral

If they have installed a cable car or a funicular railway with a bar at the top serving ice cold Efes you can count me in, (Future Business Idea) else I may join
JT at Tommy's unless someone wants to give me a piggy back.

Having spent time with
JT at Tommy's "supervising" last June's climb to the flag, I'm not sure that it's the easier option...

It nearly killed me and the wife last year, if it hadnt been for paul and all our other minders we could never have reached the top.
I took loads of water with me, carried it all the way to the top then pancho went and drunk the lot.
After the climb we all met in Tommys,I ordered my pint and drunk it that fast I almost drowned.

Poor Pancho - he was exhausted by the time they got back. Even after drinking all Gene's water, he was still so thirsty that he downed several dishes of water, and so hot that John had to hose him down!

Pancho had been on the top before and was ok and not done in but I think because David kept him on a leash and used him like a sleigh dog it nearly killed him so no more for Pancho unless I take him up and, well you know that outcome

Would have made him hotter hosing him down

Dogs pant to cool themselves.
Aww Pancho likes his trip up the mountain, but then Pancho likes cats from what I remember
Yes John you go up, we will sponsor you

The only way I will see the top of that hill is from the window of a plane

John Elaine is of the same mind as you she says someone needs to take responsability at tommys to watch if anyone slipps and rolls down
