Expedition Prep

I've had my first mince pies, Christmas dinner and even a church carol service this week!  

Nervous excitement is having to be contained, in case we get thwarted at the last minute, but plans for some long overdue alpine antics are in the pipeline!

Pulling out skis and alpine gear out of the kit stores has been very exciting 'just in case'. Some frantic washing, packing and logistical travel planning has taken up all of our time over the last few days, and despite some brief good winter climbing conditions up the road, we've tried to stay focused.

It's been so long since we drove abroad in winter, that we've had to learn new travel regulations. The most ridiculous of all surely has to be this - it is now illegal to display a GB sticker on your car. Seriously!.... The world has officially gone bonkers. Fingers crossed and we're off to go and explore it soon...
