[Dixielandjazz] My Heart (!) (was Cornet Chop Suey)

[Steve Voce]

I used to ascend Snowdon several times a year (I could get from home, do the climb and return home in the same day). The mountain I climbed after my valve replacement was the nearby Carnedd Llewelyn, which is only a few feet lower than Snowdon. You're a good bit younger than I am, Tony. You'd manage Snowdon easily!

I go hill walking two days every week and yesterday went to Wales to climb a hill just under 2,000 feet (mind you, I had a heart attack without knowing it climbing the same hill 18 months ago, but it was nothing to do with the valve).
