Kings college…..

 Kings college taken from the new lions yard car park, taken on my camera and up loaded to blog using Shozu……. took me hours to set it up and now I am not sure if I like the the programme πŸ™‚

Another Guided walk…

While in the Lake District we met up with Paddy Dillon , the writer of over forty walking guidebooks, including the GR20 one we used while out in Corsica.misc_102107_006

He gave us a guided walk around his home town and pointed out where the Cumbria way starts, this is a 70 mile long distance walk from Ulverston to Carlisle.

According to Paddy most walkers have trouble finding the starting point and walk past his house a few times until he points them in the right direction.

We spent hours chatting, while taking a look at most of his guidebooks including his new one, The National trails of England Scotland and Wales.

This book is too big too use as an actual guidebook but is a must for any keen walkers book shelf. paddy

It was interesting to learn that Paddy takes all his own photos for his guidebooks, and kit weight before adding any walking stuff is 3kg.

He spends 5 to 6 months a year walking and the rest writing up the Guidebooks.

A very interesting few hours spent with a very interesting man….

Packing again….

Very shortly I will be off to pack my bags,as tomorrow Geoff and I will be driving up to the lake district for a long week-end of walking.

I will be up at 6am to go to work ,will finish at 2pm and then be on my way… it means Geoff will have to put up with me smelling very fishy , but it wont bother me as I have become immune to the smell.

So I will be away from my blog for a few days and my mobile is away getting mended so no mobile up dates or twitters…  πŸ™

Very scary to realize how addicted I have become to my mobile, I feel quite lost with out it, think I am just scared I will miss something  πŸ™‚

Before I go I must give a mention to my 2 wonderful boys.. who hardly ever moan about me gallivanting off at week-ends. I just hope they keep the house a little more tidy this week-end…  πŸ™‚

See you all next week   byeeee  x
