OK - Maybe not Everest or K2 but has anyone ever had a music session up a mountain. Or somewhere just as remote? If so - What instruments did you take? Or what would you take if you arranged such an event?

I was thinking about it over the weekend when a group of us combined three pleasures - Walking, drinkling and folking:-) We dodn't take instruments out but had a session in the pub after. I have however played mouth organ up a mountain.

We walked up Ben Nevis some years ago. At the top I got out a gob iron and played a couple of tunes. My mate tossed over a 10p piece and said, "There you are. You are now the highest paid harmonica player in Great Britain." It was true - Quite clever I thought:-)

OK - Back to the original question. Apart from such things as harmonica and tin whistle - What else would be easy enough to get there and survive both the journey and potential weather conditions? Ben Nevis, for instance, was covered in snow on top and having a heatwave at the base.

Over to you...
