Things I have learnt recently

  1. 8 mile fast walks are fine until the last mile.
  2. Re-hydrating after 8 mile walks with beer instead of water may not be a good idea but you do sleep well.
  3. Hazelnuts really can’t replace chocolate.
  4. Death is not dignified.
  5. In hydraulics there is a very big difference between litres and metres-cubed. Don’t get them muddled.
  6. It will snow whether I like it or not
  7. Driving in daylight is lots more fun than driving in the dark.
  8. If you pester Red cross enough they offer you training courses you need. In Windsor :-s
  9. I will be able to get my REd Cross IHCD exam by the summer. Which means Mary might soon be a fully fledged little Red cross ambulance crewperson. Because I don't do enough things already...

Why would you try replacing a vital foodstuff like chocolate with hazelnuts?

All walks are fine until the last mile.

So you should only go for very long walks. A two mile walk would be 50% rubbish, and an 8 mile walk would be 12.5% rubbish, but a 50 mile walk would only be 2% rubbish.

Walking across the room is agony.
