Good point :p
I'm still up, writing an email actually... Taking so long bcause the words i wanna write will, erm... Yeah. Let's not go there on the grounds of... umm... yeah, nevermind. an email :)
You're still coherent. You have wakefulness left in you yet.
True, i seem to have come alive with the addition of hot chocolate! Sugar rush i guess...
I tend to chuck down Red Bulls, which has little effect save for further increasing their profit.
Are you sending the person who i think you're talking about an email about something you're not so subtley suggesting?
If you are, then I'd pass... Until you're a littlre more rested and clear headed.
I think i'm going to PM you.Quote:

"summers walkabout "??? All I can see is "summer of code"...ehh..no ehh..."summer of love"...
Only covering about 400 miles this summer, but taking a good long time to do it. There'll be some really scenic ridge walking, some really dull road walks, and hopefully, no encounters with the Griz.
Alone? I really like to go alone. It gives me plenty of time to think. Something you don't get in a stressing city environment these days. We are going to Annecy, a bit outside chamonix (france), about one hour from Geneva on sunday. Starting at 700m, going to about 3200. Wish me luck. I still lack two ligements..:) First real try after the accident...:)
That's pretty serious. Course, it's just a matter of attitude. My personal best was covering 1,100 miles on a broken foot. Actually, after two months of that, the bone had healed.....just not quite straight.
Yeah, this trip will be seriously alone. Not all that good really. After a certain length of time, I start craving company, and this route is seriously untraveled. However, there was a TV show on it a few months ago. I didn't see it, but everybody was asking me if I was going to finish the trail, as I would be the first person to do so since it was first laid out twenty years ago. There's a reason for that, it's might remote. Last summer, when I covered the first 600 miles, I spent weeks without ever talking to anybody (except the darn deer, and I was just cussing at them because they kept waking me up).
OMG, did you have to break it up again? Or is it still bendt? My right foot is bendt after an accident on the basket course. Ruined my football intrest totaly. But "Becham" foot became "the ball over in totaly wrong direction" foot. Gave up starting over again to be good at cross balls.
I see what you mean by getting bored after a while. But I bet that if after a week you suddenly got a mate there. Then you would think it was fun for 2 hours. Then get irritated that he did not walk fast enough, or wanted too many breaks, or the other way around. I like to be my own lord on the mountain. I always bring pen and paper, so I can write down my thoughts. My watch I always leave home, and cell phone is turned off (not that it works many places in the Norwegian mountain anyway). And then I just enough glaciers, big mountains, fjords, rain dears, and all sorts of things I walk by. In Norway you can go a week or two without finding civilization. So then bathing naked in ice water is a really nice thing to do in the morning. Really wakes you up...:)
Ohhh, and the next best sound in the world after my PCs fan....the sound of going into the tent after it is dark and put on your "stove" (is it called that?), the sounds of it makes me want to live for ever...
Two of my toes slightly overlap, that's the only result, so no big issue.
I also carry pen and paper. Actually ran out of ink last summer in the middle of the woods. I was really unhappy about that. I thought it would be a week before I got anywhere where I might find another pen. Then I found some folks working on a cabin along a remote river, and they gave me a pen. That was pretty convenient.
Didn't carry a cell phone, as there would have been coverage for only a couple of days out of the 39 that I was out. However, I got up on top of a high mountain and met a gal who was the fire lookout up there. She had a cell phone, and actually got coverage. I couldn't figure out where the tower was, because we were a looooooong way from any town that had coverage. I can only figure the tower was on top of a peak, but the nearest potential location seemed like it had to be over 100km distant. She also cooked me lunch, which was REALLY nice.
Don't know what stove you mean. My stove is utterly silent (assuming you are talking about something to cook food on) and weighs about 1.1 ounces. Nothing better than reaching camp by a mountain lake with a light breeze blowing and trout rising.
