Returned from Les Arcs

Posted: 31st January 2010

I have now returned from Les Arcs, thankfully with only a strong cold which I seemed to have picked up from someone. Its certainly pleasant that my legs aren't aching likely they normally do after this kind of holiday, my technique must be improving. I apologise for not updating via Twitter but there were crossed wires between Barclays and Vodafone meaning that I couldn't top up my phone at all during my stay in France (well, I could have bought an international top-up card but I thought it wou'dn't be worth it). I have uploaded the best photos from the holiday (taken with my new Panasonic Lumix F515 (which is very good by the way)).

As for whats coming up next - I need to catch up on the lectures I missed from the last week, finish a report and will probably be going climbing at Stanage Edge next Sunday. Looking forward to it all!

Skiing

Posted: 20th January 2010

I will be skiing in the Alps (Les Arcs 1800) from Friday 22nd till Saturday 30th via a 16 hour coach journey. This is a well deserved (in my opinion) holiday courtesy of the Sheffield Hallam Ski & Snowboard Club. As such I will be out of contact but rest assured I will more than likely be taking a lot of photos. If possible I will keep you up to date via Twitter but no promises. See you soon!
