Our January trip to the Stirlings (Ridge walk)

I have cheated with the date on this one. But i got some spectacular photos of the Stirling Range ridge walk in January and had to put some photos up! Basically this is typically a 2 night trek from Bluff knoll to Ellen Peak, (although i have heard that some people do it in 1 day by sprinting!). You need about 12L of Water each if you are going for 2 nights and 3 days. That is about 4L per day (in January when it is really hot), you tend not to need so much food. Also try to go 2 to 3 weeks after a storm or similar, then the water barrell half way along the walk will be full of the Most delicious Mountain water you have ever tasted. Also if you get to the barrel and the siphon is not working then, just climb a little further up the crack to the barrel and re-siphon the water into the tube. There WILL be water there after a storm....i think. Even though the ranger cannot tell you for sure because of the liability.....Anyway

Here are some of the great pics

UK! and Holmsted Manor, West Sussex

I arrived in the UK, on the 18th of April and spent a couple of days with My sister and Brother in Law, and My Niece in Newbury. Then on the 21st i headed to Holmsted Manor in West Sussex. DTS kicked off that night, there are 13 of us, 10 Girls and 3 guys. Also there are 3 other schools on concurrently. a School of Worship and a School of Digital communication.
