  1. Camping Saga 4

    Well my friend and I did go camping the pictures are here We didn't do to badly, with 10 miles on the first day and 15 on the second, the plan was to spend three days and do around 35 miles, but it didn't quite happen. On the first day we were busy following a "path" it was on the ordinance survey map but lead us nicely to a fast river and a deer fence. After climbing down a small cliff to get round the fence, passing the bags down in turns, we found that the path didn't exist in the ...

  2. Camping saga 3

    I've only just got on-line again and I'll be off in two days!

    Finally the snow has melted (ish) and my friend and I are about to go hiking, there's only two of us going and we can only go for three days as she is working after that, and her boyfriend is jealous enough as it is!

  5. Thanking the Gods

    Slightly more frivolous than the title suggests. an hour and a half before my exam and I decide I want to check something that is on a pdf. Ok no problem I say, I look on the computer, not there. Ok it's on the pen drive, which is in my trouser pocket, which has just been washed and tumble dried. Argh, Absolute miracle it still works and all files are accessible, this is the third time it's been through the washing machine! It's also 6 years old and it is truly the work of I divine power that ...
