Three Peaks Part 16 - Motivating fellow walkers

[TheWalkingEnglishman]

Funny enough, Steve was in the Army but a chaplain.....sorry, I mean a medic!!

Steve reminds me of a bloke at work, who is an ex-Coldstream guardsman, fighting fit, even in his mid fifties, slight east anglian accent and a huge freaky moustache. Is Steve an ex guardsman? He looks frighteningly fit, not a bead of sweat at all! I sweat even in snow :-(

[RamblingSteve]

I am frightening and (occasionally) fit, and Somerset is the origin of this testament to virility. The moustache is a legacy of years of silent rebellion in the military, and I had my sweat glands surgically removed to avoid the embarrassment of showing weakness when on strenuous walks. I also use regional accents in order to keep my anonymity. I hope to meet you one day Tiger but be warned that there are many imposters on the hills. If unsure, tweak the moustache and reveal the true man !!

It would be a pleasure and an honour Steve. Sadly, I was excluded from military service due to 'asthma' appearing on my boyhood medical records. For the time being, I can only follow in your footsteps, but rest assured I would not mistake you! The sweat is an eternal embarassment due to my 'warm' nature, and the freaky moustache only a distant dream due to my fair complexion. The walking however, is a reality, a dream come true.
