SWMBO invested in a couple due to knee problems - we walk quite regularly on the South Downs and she has problems coming down slopes rather than going up them.
As for you Cliff - Shame - I thought more of you - I'm sorry to have to say this but walking on Ben Nevis in ordinary clothes without taking any waterproofs or emergency rations is just plain stupid.
I have experienced just how quickly a gentle stroll in mountains on a sunny day can change into a fight for footing in fog , rain , gales or snow within minutes.
Have you never watched helicopter rescue?
