Sometimes, Daisy, success is measured by heeding the wisdom to take the safer path. But it takes strength and courage to "admit defeat." I believe it is better to try and adjust the plan than not to try at all. But I think your wise decision was the bravest one of all.
There is no failure Daisy. You went for a walk, yes you didn't quite make it to the top, but you still had beautiful views. Life is about the journey, not the destination. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey, and beautiful words and photos. I hope you still enjoyed your Christmas cake, even though you weren't at the summit.
I climbed it once, in the summer, en route to holiday somewhere and was surprised how tricky it was. Even in good weather the descent was much harder than I expected…I can imagine it would be dreadful in the wet. Better to be wise and turn back than to end up getting hurt because you were too stubborn to admit it was dangerous.

Thank you Frances, there were the brave ones visible on the summit but I did have my fingers crossed for them coming down safely.

Thank you Fran. The Christmas cake was enjoyed once my legs stopped shaking 🤣
Brilliant, yes Christmas cake is good. Any time.
Well done for continuing with the initial shaky legs.
And what a beautiful place to visit x
It is a very special place to me.
Yes, I can tell from your words. Thank you for sharing x
Absolutely right, Fran, well said.

Yes you definitely need your wits about you.
