Thanks to Barrie for sending round some of his Nepal pics – I’ve picked a few to stick on here.

Just north of Pisang there’s a feature on the map marked as “small green lake”. When we got there we found it was, indeed, a small green lake

Barrie had some good pictures of the avalanche paths and mudslides we had to walk over coming back down from Yak Kharka…

I’m glad I didn’t look up the hill……..

A great pic of Machapuchure from Poon Hill…

and a pic of me dancing in the Nepali (??) style on our last night out….. having fun!

Hi all,

Happy New Year !!!!!

We’re looking forward to a weekend away this Friday down at the seaside in Saundersfoot. West Wales has got some massive, beautiful beaches especially on the Gower peninsula (near Swansea), at Pendine, Saundersfoot and Tenby further west and then even further west at Newgale and many other places on the way to St.Davids.

We love to spend weekends in Saundersfoot village and this’ll be our first trip of the year. It’ll also be the first time we’ll take our dog Polly down to West Wales. I’ll post some more pics next week but here’s a peek at the beach and the harbour.

2006 is going to be a great year – I’d dearly love to go back to Nepal again but instead the plan is…..

Boston USA in Feb (Andrew’s christening)
New York on the same trip.
Prague in May (stag weekend)
Roadtrip in Alberta, Canada in May
Cologne in June for the World Cup
St.Andrews for Golf Tour X in September
Sydney in Oct

I’m determined to squeeze in another list somewhere…

Scotland in the warm month(s) for a long weekend based way up north in Inverness (maybe try to get up Ben Nevis).
London for a couple of weekends to go to the Science museum and the Natural History Museum with Kath & Megan.
At least one celtic home game (with a trip to see Scott in Perth).
A weekend in North Wales to go up Snowdon and see Laura’s new house.
A weekend at Larry’s place in the Pyrenees.

And on top of the above there’s the list that would be lovely but…….

A skiing trip with Louis and Kate.
Trip to Barcelona-Chelsea with Bien in March.

And some possible business trips…..

Rome in Jan
Salt Lake City, US in Jan or Feb.

Let me know where you’re going in 2006 and how it goes.

Love and hugs

Martin
