Major red face! I thought something seemed a little odd with that title when I wrote it, but I just couldn't see the grammar error. (Don't get me started on how stupid it is that unlike almost every other word the possessive of who is whose. If they'd just let us engineers make a few tweaks to the language it would work so much better......) Ah well, people responded on topic, which was the end goal.

Have rambled on about that, a request. Could one of the defenders of the Scottish hills, or other english hills, try to describe what those hills are like (shape, ridges, formation, rock...less interested in flora and fauna for the moment), for those of us not priveleged to have rambled amongst them?

Hmmm, I've been in Avignons a couple of times, but for some reason I can't call to mind the mountains near there, darn it.
