Initiation

 Tristan climbed the biggest mountain in south Wales before he was 4, so his little brother has to do the same. Obviously.
 So on a very warm afternoon the three of us set off to the summit of Pen Y Fan,
 Full of enthusiasm, mostly.
 Quite full of sugar.
 Which the boys shared nicely, big bro looking after little bro.
 At the saddle leading to Corn Du they added to the cairn.
 An hours and 45 minutes they had reached the top
 and were rewarded by spectacular views
 that feeling of achievement
 and lots of hugs
 for the little mountain goats.
 Getting down was a bit quicker but involved more sit downs.
 Thankfully the hot dog van was still open where they had two of the finest and ice creams.
 Eric and Ernie made the trip as well.
 RRMK2 was not tired after his initiation!
The Apprentice beaming with pride.
