I think I'm not alone when I say that I don't really enjoy New Year. It's always been a time of chaos and sad partings for me and this year was no exception. Had to say goodbye to a very special friend, which is never easy, but were both pretty good at navigation and with the right map and compass maybe our paths will cross again.

In the meantime, there are hills to be walked and mountains to be climbed, metaphorically speaking of course! Can't be doing with all those ropes and sheer drops - too much of a coward. So, out come the walking guides, map of the U.K and train timetables as I settle down to a bit of planning and focus on my mission - to reach the summit of Ben Nevis by the end of September. I need to be increasing my distance and stamina and start looking at visiting some of the smaller sites in the lead up to Big Ben! Think I'll take the next few days to sort out a schedule for the next couple of months and take it from there. If anybody has any suggestions as to ideas places and routes to start building up the terrain and stamina please do let me know.

Hope 2007 brings joy and happiness to you all - and lots and lots of walking.
