Back in 2011 my wife and I (and our unborn 1st son, though we didn't know it at the time) went on a trip to the Highlands, and at some point found ourselves at the Mountain Coffee Co. bookshop in Gairloch. I picked up a copy of Dave Cuthbertson's "The Climbers Logbook" and since then have used it to record details of particularly memorable days out in the hills and crags. Each entry starts with the date, place, company and weather and then I give a little diary entry for what we got up to.
At the moment I am reading it with great enjoyment, dipping into it to dust off some great memories that otherwise would perhaps be fading, and using it as a sort of methadone to replace the real thing. I hope that when I am an old(er) fart I'll pass happy hours remembering all the great days outdoors in good company that I have been lucky enough to have, sitting by the fire with a cup of tea and my logbook on my knee. "Ahhh, them were the days my laddie" : )
What's my point? If you are just starting out consider doing the same, I know lots of us use the logbooks here but this is a bit different and it is amazing how I can access technicolour recordings of some brilliant times with the help of a few words.
