In reply to pneame:
I don't agree. Check the photos (I am sure you have) . These were lives replete with joy, spirit, adventure, absolute connectedness and driven by being in wild places. The photos show that. Massively sad, heartbreaking. But the blog is testament to their fulfilment.
I didn't know them at all, and so feel a bit fraudulent for writing what I've written about them. But I feel impelled to, it is just so sad, and yet captures what draws us all to the hill. Sorry.
