july 2009.


sadly the time has come and i have to leave this fine abode to head back to old blightly where i have been paying rent still for the last 6 months!


in the last 6 months of being home i tramped the hopkins valley two times, once with scouts, silver peaks three times, once with scouts as well and i finally completed a failed tramp back in 2004 of the greenstone/caples loop with the original party minis one.


after lugging all my gear to london, literally the other side of the world im going to do me some tramping over here!
