Glen Doe

 
The Glen Doe hydro electric scheme is operational again so presumably access for walkers is back to normal.  Maybe.

The Eiger – Fatal Attraction (repeat). BBC4, 8pm Wednesday 22 August

Superb skiing conditions in Wengen - photo (scanned from slide) taken from Wengernalp. The hot chocolate and cake wasn't bad either!

For anyone with an interest in climbing history (or anyone without for that matter) – this is worth watching.   Even at Swiss prices this makes me want to go back!

All in all, I'd rather be here

..but unfortunately garden, cutting hedges and some outside work on the house have anchored us firmly at home, although we have managed a couple of days on the local hills. Thankfully, our next trip is not too far off but the destination is flexible. Thanks to Alan Rayner, Martin Banfield and Sir Hugh for providing interesting reading on their respective blogs - always worth a visit. Hopefully I'll be able to post something of interest soon!
