Arriving at Holyhead, I braced myself for the last leg of the trip, trying hard not to worry whether I’m ready to complete the walk I was looking forward to, Snowdon Horseshoe. I ran through all that I’ve done and practiced for the last few weeks and it’s been great being able to follow weather... Continue Reading →

It was a good idea to stay close to Cairnryan for an early ferry but I wasn't keen to stay in an open area next to the road, where there were many trucks passing by to get the ferry. So I opted to stay at Kirroughtree Forest car park that allows overnight stay. It's a... Continue Reading →

One down, three to go... On my way up to the Lakes, I stopped by Newcastle to visit a good friend who have always given me the courage to change and morph, stamped a bit of confidence in me to carry on being who I am and do what I want to do. Part of... Continue Reading →

When I heard the midge forecast in Scotland a few weeks running up to the trip, I knew I had to change my plans. I’ve been traumatised by the midge attack in Burbage a few summers before this and I told myself, ‘never again!’. I was in itchy hell for at least six weeks with... Continue Reading →

Never knew how hard a day job is...wait, I lie. I do know and was probably able to tolerate it better than I do now. A break was due even though Vienna wasn't that long ago and I needed something different, something that would let me think about the plans for Spring/Summer 2020. First stop,... Continue Reading →

Cramming in five days worth of work in three...it's been a while since I did that and it was well worth it for a loooooong weekend away with the girls. I was glad that the plan came together and there were six of us that will be able to meet for this first reunion of... Continue Reading →

~4th July 2019~ OK...it's Thursday, D-Day for my Climbing Wall Instructor course. Yes, it's assessment day! A few days prior to that, I decided to fit in a trip to Chamonix to see a wonderful and dear friend, Michael. It was about making the effort to go and see him since I missed my visit...
