Disappointing total in 2015 but at least it was better than the previous year and, most importantly, I achieved a long-term objective of climbing Conachair on St Kilda. We went on a National Trust for Scotland cruise and, thanks to a very skilful ship's captain, managed to land on Hirta. Conachair was a lovely wee hill and St Kilda is a fascinating place.
On my now regular trip to the Yorkshire Dales I climbed Hoove but, unfortunately, pulled a muscle in my leg on the descent that kept me off the hills for a while. I was recovered enough a few weeks later to have a very interesting stay in Holmfirth and climb Black Hill, with an excellent path - a popular hill where I met many people.
I finished the year in Scotland with two trips to the Borders, climbing Roan Fell, a hill I had been meaning to climb for a long time. Excellent views and a lovely day, especially the opportunity to see the baying hounds at the foot that I had read so much about. Then, finally, Blackwood Hill which was much easier than I expected.
