Invincible Determination

"Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man".
Iain Duncan Smith

Oh.. Guys...
I took 20+ Photographs today and I had to set aside all the others in favour of this Gentleman's Invincible Determination !.. I meet him near to top of Rivey Hill, Linton. He paused and proudly told me he had made it all the way to the top and that he was just worried he might slip over..

I stepped aside to allow him to continue his downwards journey.

F.Y.I. Rivey Hill at this time of year is a Slippery,Wet,Muddy Path with an incline of 1 in 4 plus the path is tilted at 1 in 5. This lovely gentleman was slowly pigeon stepping his way back down in full shirt and tie,cap and using TWO walking sticks...

I admire his true grit... This gent is probably 75+ and was walking alone..
