    Trade your axe for this?

    Watching that video I kept on hearing the voiceover chap from Big Brother in my head. "It's day five in the cabin and Lars is still trying to split the same log."

    A short walk along the High Bridge Trail.

    Now that's something we need more of! There seem to be too many limitations to allow that to be done over here ... Thanks for the write up :)

    Super scrimping ideas

    Not bushy - and sounds like an odd one - but even if working in an office carry a full water bottle at all times. Since I started (to try to stay better hydrated) it's meant I've not been tempted to nip out from work for a ridiculously expensive tea or coffee. Means I don't feel as hungry...

    Take care what you post in the mail

    Unless the rules are being changed significantly I think those PO staff might be getting mixed up. Weapons are already prohibited for sending by Royal Mail (they classify weapons as "Including Section 5 firearms, CS gas and pepper sprays, flick knives, tasers and stun guns.") But an axe is...

    Wild berry question....

    I'm guessing your lass is wanting to do a bit on glycaemic index. In which case I *think* rasberries and gooseberries are some of the lowest. Got a couple of books on molecular biology of diabetes at home - I'll have a look this evening if it helps.

    It's not and never will be as long as its constructive. When talking to the papers the MRT has to use any opportunity to further the education of everyone on thinking about the risks of the mountain and making sure you are confident in dealing with those risks before you head out. They've done...

    Another one who didn't listen

    Easy to start ranting when stuff frustrates you isn't it :) In this case I honestly think it is in the interests of everyone that wants to use the mountain that the MRT has a bit of a rant. Bearing in mind what I said above about the responsibility these guys feel for the safety of people on...

    Another one who didn't listen

    I can sypathise with the MRT leader - if nothing else I imagine each time someone dies up there it's going to hit him and his whole team hard. They may be volunteers but every time I speak to an MRT member what comes across is the very real responsibility they feel for the mountain and the...

    Snow snow snow!!

    Time to show off my ignorance again :) Given that looks like a fairly full covering how much of an issue is air quality in the tent when you're buried like that?
