Sun 25 January - Started bad but turned out great

Some dirt bikers - breaking the local laws and messing up the hill side. But, then what do they care

Sunday 18/1/09 good walking

4 CROWS 2 fledglings. 10K with 590m

Some scrambling and summits on Slieve Meelmore and Meelbeg

Cold but good !

Fighting the wind on Meelmore

Now, this proves just how severe the wind was!

Skiing in France

Heading off early in the morning. We skied in Espace Diamant and Megeve.







Stephen and Gerry on the slopes well above the cloud in the valley




Some times "No Brakes" Kenny comes a cropper




Contrast the modern skier with the one wearing the 1970's "Sheena Easton" jacket!












View of the Aravis chain of Mountains









The old jail Annecy











Street scene in Annecy










One for Tony - Paraglyders do it in the snow too

For 2009

Last Walk of 2008

12 for a walk to the summit of Donard







Great day for walking with fine views in all directions.

The Mourne wall was a clean and dry way to cross the Bog of Donard - if you didn't mind the height.


























Margaret striding out towards Donard







Sunset with Carlingford and Slieve Foy in the distance











Paddy and Tony crossing with the - eh, additional supplies!

View towards Newcastle
