Expedition Planning

Sun 2009-06-21 20:33

Phew, been spending a huge amount of time planning for our Lakes District hike. Only two weekends between now and the weekend we head off. Next weekend we're going for a trial run, a two day hike around countryside along the River Stour north of Colchester. It is just for the weekend, camping at a proper campsite on Saturday night. We'll have packs fully loaded as they'll be for the start of our Lakes District trip though.

Preliminary Lakes Route

Mon 2009-06-15 00:24

I've been asked to post a mudmap of our planned Lakes District walk. So here it is. There's a rather small version iframed below too. The last two days (yellow and cyan) are very vague, I just threw in some random lines really. This starts on July 12th at the blue marker. The dark blue line is a steam railway, everything else is walking. The intention is to do about 10 miles per day (FYI: long days, no hurry, very wrinkly terrain in places.) If we find this is too easy, we'll cover more ground, if it is too difficult then perhaps less. The current plan loops us back to our departure point well within time, so we have a lot of flexibility for timing. It'll probably all change drastically once we're on the ground and have the first couple of days of walking behind us!

We went to Barcelona a couple of weeks ago. As always I had big plans to write about this, but all I've really managed is to write about Barcelona's excellent Mercat de la Boqueria (coming very soon.) In summary: it was an excellent trip. Kat and I went with my sister, and we met up with a couple of other Aussie friends over there.

Barcelona, Day 1

Mon 2009-05-18 09:49

Halfway through our break in Barcelona. I sit on a bench in the sun near a café while I await the availability of a spot to sit in. Another bright sunny day awaits. Leading up to our visit we were somewhat concerned to see weather reports of cloud and rain. Happily, this has not eventuated.
