	We stayed at Ambleside Youth Hostel. Changes in the structure of the organisation mean that, unlike in Scotland, you no longer have to be a member to use the Hostels, being a member just means that you pay less. It even has a bar!
	First day's walk was to do the Faifield Horseshoe. This starts and finishes at Ambleside. Great, no driving. The approach is by way of paths and green lanes
	Eventually the heat got too much
	On Erne Crag
	Leaving Erne Crag for Fairfield
	Summit of Fairfield, a bit cooler here
	On our way
	The return leg of the horseshoe follows the wall, Lake Windermere visible
	Sunday morning, the view from our Hostel window.
	The walk today was to Saint Sunday Crag. This lies next to Fairfield, but we are starting from Ullswater, on the other side. This is Ullswater, with a steamer
	Now above the snow line
	A bit further up, with good lighting
	Relaxing on the top
	Looking east. Cross Fell, 893m, the highest point in the Pennines, clearly visible
	Fairfield, from a different angle

	The Annual Highways Munro Dinner was on Friday 20 January 2006 This year it was Tim Feathersone's turn to organise it. We met in Ryrie's Bar at Haymarket, and were then duly marched off along Dalry Road to a secret destination, which turned out to be First Coast "a quality neighbourhood bistro for the West of Edinburgh". The seating arrangements were two almost adjacent tables, which was fine, and grub was good, which was even better. As can be seen, a couple of glasses of wine soon put a smile on our faces. Thanks Tim
