No hills this week :-(

[pozorvlak]

Its hailing outside. The forecast for the hills this weekend was -13C after windchill, and gusting winds of up to 50mph - we've been out in much worse, but there was also the danger of blizzards, which would have been a problem. Plus Philipp's away, and Michael and Jo are busy this weekend, so the walk would have been me and someone else less experienced. I'm not going walking on my own in a blizzard, and while Bart, say, is a sensible guy with his head firmly screwed on and a few walks under his belt, I really didn't feel like taking him out in those conditions1. So I'm sat here at home, failing to work on my thesis. Bah. My last hillwalk was two weeks ago now, and I'm starting to get the been-in-the-city-too-long shivers. Rock climbing's fun, but doesn't quite hit the same spot, particularly when it's indoors.

Going to the Adventure Film Festival yesterday didn't help, either...

firefliesinjune: I haven't forgotten about my promise to take you to the Highlands, but let's wait for the weather to improve, eh? :-)

1 Maybe I should have left that choice up to him, I dunno.
