It's what I do. Alaskan adventures: Part 3, Hallucinations on the glacier. The route was the stuff of dreams. Steep solid granite walls, separated. Linked together by narrows ribbons of ice. What we hoped to be 'easy' early pitches turned out to be hard, brittle steep ice, or thin ice and mixed like Tony on the Twin Runnels, above. The obvious rock feature above is 'The Prow' the crux of the first rock band. Of bringing such a strong rope gun as Tony to dispatch. Hard We are being made to work for this.

just doodling: B I G Birthday Month
http://jodoodle.blogspot.com/2011/07/b-i-g-birthday-month.html
It's what I do. B I G Birthday Month. June was my birthday MONTH. Yes, that's right folks - I used the excuse to celebrate as much as possible being alive for a significant amount of time. It started with a fabulous asian banquet laid on by my gorgeous flatmate, Sarah - thanks Sar! Pic courtesy of: Sarah Lambert. Pic courtesy of: Sarah Lambert. Then we had a 'summer garden party' with a 'beach' theme. It rained. Sarah, me and Handsome Dave. Trying to 'limbo' the slackline! Pic courtesy of: Kate Lindey.

It's what I do. I have enjoyed plenty of snow around the festive period. Eoin and I went on a walk [trudge more like] in the Pentland Hills south of the city. It's mostly gone now and things are starting to feel a bit like Spring. there's hope for me! I am travelling to NZ next month to see my family and meet my new nephew, Kahu. Hopefully I'll catch the end of some actual Summer weather as well! A natural poser (Oct 2010). Kahu smiles (11 weeks). See you fellas real soon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Silly Billys Roam the World. Ok, this has nothing to do with our trip, but don't I look speedy! Climbing the Castleton Towers in Utah. Ed and Em on top of Romania! Here is Ed, our third traveling companion for 1.5 months has now left us! Mark and Sylvia's Blog. Abbie and Ed's Excellent Adventure. Wednesday, October 3, 2007.

It's what I do. Fun in the snow. After our week in the sun, luckily Edinburgh was still frozen and there was still lots of fun to be had. I got out into the hills several weekends in a row climbing. But what made this really special was when you could do it right in your backyard. Climbing on the crags above Edinburgh. I could see my house from the top! Although on the other side of the hill, you felt like you could be just anywhere. Just magic. Sunshine and steep rock bliss. Ginger Jo doing awesome.

It's what I do. I would cycle 220-odd miles. Have you ever seen 135 cyclists on the road at once? It's lycra-tastic I can tell you and I was fortunate enough to be one of the few women in this cycle challenge, organised by BAE systems in June. We embarked on a tour of the western islands of Scotland weaving in and out of Arran, Kintyre Penninsula, Bute, Islay and the mainland for 4 days. We had incredible luck with the weather and only one really bad patch of midges! To Arthritis Research UK.
