Hi there. On the weekend, Maureen Martin became the first woman to complete a full round of Abels. I had heard of Maureen as being very experienced and when I finally met her, encouraged her to add up her Abels. At that point, a year ago, she had fourteen left to climb. In the last year, she has climbed all fourteen, as well as six others because she couldn't remember who she'd climbed them with, so wanted to be sure. Maureen is the eleventh person to complete. Congratulations Maureen.
Meanwhile, thanks so much to people who let me know, either about themselves or their friends, when the number of Abels listed against their name in my blog (natureloverswalks.com) is now out of date. I am not the KGB with secret spies out there, so rely on others giving me correct information. If your number of Abels is now out of date, please let me know. On that note, congratulations also to Martin Doran who completed earlier this year, and to Dale Lisson, likewise. My blog has had over 83,000 readers, so it is worth having your record accurate.
Cheers,
Louise
