ROCKS! So this was not just a roll over but involved skydiving as well!

Don't worry DanShell,You are not alone ,I must have the same syndrome. ....Family is so important to me,I like to know If everything is ok & let them know I am...probably sounds strange in this me,me, only me, world.......DanShell wrote:Im most likely going to get shot down for saying this but I like having reception! Nothing better when on your own than being able to lay in my tent and catch up on the world via social media imho And no Im not being sarcastic, I do actually like being in touch with home.
The older my parents get and the fact that my kids all drive cars is another reason I like to have reception as much as possible on a walk. In fact every time I go to a remote place for holidays where I don't get reception for days, I get very anxious until I have been able to check into home and make sure everything is ok. Perhaps I have some sort of syndrome??

Funny how in the US hikers are mostly slow, and how they consider a 600 m elevation walk as "difficult" (Observation Point in Zion NP for example). Got back to France, did a 700 m elevation gain walk that was classified as easy (which it was), and almost everybody was faster than me, some crazy *&%$#! even running up the mountain. Although funny to see those people such in a rush to finish the walk, it's quite annoying. First it puts pressure on you ("am I so out of shape ?") and second it makes you realize those people barely appreciate the scenery, they just go for the physical challenge ("how fast was I ? I should post my time on my hiking forum").

Ah yes. My pet hate with guidebooks and signs. Why do they insist on giving times instead of distances?

Granted, moving fast is important sometimes, especially in the mountains, but when people start condensing a two day trip into a one day sufferfest I tend to raise an eyebrow.
