A 2023 Summary

2023 got off to a promising start and I managed to have at least one day out in the first five months of the year; the best strike rate in over a decade.

But health issues within the family had to be dealt with and the impact on my ability to head for the hills was curtailment.  I didn't manage another walk for the rest of the year.

At the start of 2023 I had 239 summits on my own collated ticklist, mostly containing TRAIL 100 and Nuttall summits.

Overall I :

            went on             9                                  walks
            walked              53.9                              miles
            ascended          14,406                          feet
            walked for         38 hrs 33 mins            (including rest stops !)
            reached            11                                 individual summits that I hadn’t been to before
            reached            3                                   individual summits that I had been to before
            reached            8                                 summits on my combined ticklist
            reached            1                                   previously unclimbed TRAIL 100 summit
            reached            6                                 previously unclimbed Nuttall summits
            drove                1924                             miles on trips to and from walks


Most of this year's walking occurred in the Yorkshire Dales but the most significant summit of the year was Schiehallion.  Just 1 TRAIL 100 summit was ticked in this overall inactive year.

All of this meant that at the end of 2022, my ongoing ticklist dropped to 231 summits.
