• Rise early. Fix a time-table to which you must try to keep. One seldom regrets having made an early start, but one always regrets having set off too late; first for reasons of safety-the adage 'it is later than you think is very true in the mountains-but also because of the strange beauty of the moment: the day comes to replace the night, the peaks gradually lighten, it is the hour of mystery but also of hope. Setting off by lantern-light, witnessing the birth of a new day as one climbs to meet the sun, this is a wonderful experience

• Gather up your telegrams
  Your faded pictures, best laid plans
  Books and postcards, 45's
  Every sunset in the sky
  Carry with you maps and string, flashlights
  Friends who make you sing
  And stars to help you find your place
  Music, hope and amazing grace
  Maybe what we leave
  Is nothing but a tangled little mystery
  Maybe what we take
  Is nothing that has ever had a name
