And don't forget to bring the Alpine Rope to tie to each other in the group at convenient intervals in case someone slips while trying to point out some mountain goat, or an eagle's nest, or some distant Scottish mountain. Be sure it is agreed before starting out that there is to be no more mentioning of the G.A. as such thoughts might disturb the view of the Isle of Mann from the top. When you do get to the top, check out the rockpile cairn at the top for a loose stone near the bottom. When you find the little tin pushed in behind that stone, look for the signatures there, remember who "Bob" was, and leave the contents intact for all times as you return the tin to its hiding place.
Surely it is there, as it was all So Real. So Real...
