I haven't got much to report except to say Thank goodness it is Half Term!
'Backpackinglight' have been very co-operative and have offered to replace my broken Vargo hexagonal stove - broken on it's first useage when a pin fell out and was lost in a pile of pine needles.
Tomorrow I am driving up to Birmingham for some alternative exercise; a weekend of Irish Set Dancing. I can assure those not in the know that it is certainly better for general stamina and fitness than walking, and probably better for the soul. One of my missions during the CWT is to become better at playing my tin whistle, and the weekend in Birmingham (a place that has more potential than you would think) promises to inspire and rejuvenate me in ways beyond my imagining. Joy!
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
