Whose Idea Was This?

Setting off first thing tomorrow to do a 16km walk up a 1300m mountain with 8 other women of a certain age (ie 40ish).
We are staying here (scroll down for photos) tomorrow night, walk another 15 km or so up an down a bit and here the following night and then another 15 km or so mainly downhill. We are having a bbq in T parent's house in Albertville. (our destination and the big smoke around here)

Hubby the kids and I are camping on their lawn for the night. Hubby has decided to do the packing for the camping...I have reluctantly agreed to let him...but posted my camping list prominently on the fridge. I'm just hoping for a soft dry surface to sleep on. Although drinking and camping work quite well and I'm planning on drinking at the bbq. Slept on rocks the last time I was camping and drinking...about 14 years ago.

I'm pretty competent downhill, its the uphill that concerns me! Especially tomorrow. I've never climbed that much or that high...max I've done is about 1100m. There aren't any 1300m mountains in Ireland.
In fact we are climbing to 2200m. I'm not sure I'm evolved for this.

Nervous.....be back in 3 days to report how it went.
