Missus wanted to go 'hiking' so we did Helm Crag here in Cumbria today while the weather was good. I took a tiny day pack that she wanted loaded with shit (handbag, three water bottles, phone power bank) all for a 2 hour hike at most. I took some poles (don't use them myself) because I thought she could do with them. Complained the way up, made her have the bag and she wore it for ten minutes before complaining how heavy it was. Explained to her that it was full of shit she wanted to take and she realised she might want to pack lighter next time. She really enjoyed it apparently, says she wants to do more /out/ in future. Found the poles more useful than I ever have, particularly on the descent.
