New Year on top of a hill
We spent the last hour of 2007 walking up the Malvern Hills, and the first hour of 2008 walking down. The photos below just prove it was done. A couple of dozen others had the same idea (and reached the top before us), and together we looked down on Worcestershire and watched fireworks pop up all over the streetlamp-speckled landscape. Apparently on the millenium there were so many walkers that the police were corralling them up the paths.
In my youth, of course, I would have spent the time “binge drinking” with my “crew”, but in my middle years more practical activities seem more appropriate. When I am old, in about twelve months’ time, I expect to be in bed before midnight.
