Deep into the Cairngorms

Every now and then I meet somebody completely inspirational.


It's not polite to ask a women her age, and all I will say is that Jean is just ever so slightly younger than my Grandfather.


Yesterday, Jean travelled over 35km and climbed over 1616m in ascent and bagged 3 rather remote Cairngorm Munro's.  Jean got blown over once in the wind - promptly got back up, dusted herself off and continued - and fell off her bike once - once again, got back up, dusted herself off and continued without a word of complaint.


Next time, anybody who uses the 'age' excuse needs to meet a very special lady.  Jean Dougall, you really are a Beast and I salute you :)
