Luggage defeated (I think) so I am ready to jet

Posted in canada, move to canada, snowdon, to do list on August 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Hand luggage has been packed. I’m hoping that nobody looks too carefully at the weight of my hand luggage or asks me to unpack my ‘purse’. I don’t think that most people carry 320GB external hard drives in their purse!
I suspect that I may be very, very, very close to the weight limit on my [...]

Snowdon: An Epic Journey

Posted in snowdon, to do list on July 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

There is a scene towards the end of Man in the Iron Mask (the newer one, not the Richard Chamberlain 70s version) where the Four Musketeers (and Phillipe) decide to make one final charge on the younger musketeers and the King Louis.

Off to climb a mountain

I have packed, I have printed route maps and I have updated the iPod with the latest podcasts. I am now ready for my trip to North Wales to climb Snowdon.
With any luck, by this time on Friday I will be sitting in the hotel bar marvelling at how wonderful the climb was

The other good thing is that I only have two weeks left as an employed person with my current company. Except that I still have to get through the next two weeks. Thankfully a [...]

The BIG announcement

Posted in babble, canada, move to canada, snowdon, to do list on June 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

There is something that I have been keeping from you. One might even go so far as to say that I’ve been lying at times about something. It’s something huge in my life but I’ve not been able to tell anyone about it.
Well, I made the big announcement to my department at work yesterday so [...]

Snowdon training walk 2: Everest?

Posted in babble, snowdon, to do list on May 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I went on our second proper training walk for Snowdon. It was five miles long and a bit tougher than Monday’s, involving a few more climbs including the steepest climb in the area. As we live in one of the hillier areas of England, it takes a bit for us to be impressed by hills [...]

Snowdown Training Walk 1: I have conquered the elements!

Posted in doctor who, fannish stuff, snowdon, to do list on May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I am soaked, exhausted and very happy. It’s a bank holiday here so Da and I did our first real training walk for Snowdon. It is hideous weather today (rain, wind, yuck) but I thought it would be good practise seeing as we’re unlikely to guarantee perfect weather for our climb.
We walked across the farm [...]
