I forgot to add on the first English Romanticism but it's relevant here! I think you are one of very few, in fact, I cannot remember any, to talk about the Wordsworth siblings. The only mention of Dorothy I came across was, ah yes she was with W when exploring the Quantocks, and she may scribbled something... I'm so happy to see her being at last spoken about! And yet. Ah! The Loch Coruisk! It stole my heart and along with the Hebridean geology will definitely be the main reason for my moving to Scotland!
hmmm, what to say, Tilman and Shipton's handshake has gone down in history. I don't think I've ever done it. Indeed, summit's aren't always necessary, but when they are, nowt better than collapsing in a heap on arrival and, if it's been a hard or good climb and the weather and time of day permits it, enjoying the view, a brew, some grub, and sharing memories of the climb before descending.

There are plenty of Dorothy W fans out here and I think Substack is quite a likely place to find us!

Whatever, some kind of emotional display may be appropriate on reaching the highest summit ever climbed.
