Cheers Merry. I'm starting to think about what to do footwear wise, we can expect the temperature up high to be below zero and i don't have any waterproof running shoes. If snow melts on my shoes and gives me wet feet it's going to be awful, i think all i can do is to wear 2/3 pairs of socks and spray some Nikwax onto my Walshes.

How is anyone else approaching this problem or am i the only one worrying?

Erm, might just be you. Wet feet? You've tried this fell-running lark before, haven't you? Just a regular pair of trail socks for me.

I'm thinking more of what the going underfoot will be like: wet and muddy, break out the Walshes; hard and rocky, might give the Swoops a test. Will take advice from the advance Abba Recce Sqn.

Hann,

Sooo sorry; going to have to re-wrap now!
Lots of folk at work have the Samsung, bought from Amazon (tax free in Afg) but always go for the memory upgrade (roughly £25). Fits in seconds and really helps. As for your films how about a rugged external drive (also Amazon) which will hold upwards of 100 films, use like iPod. Costs ish £75.

Keep warm,

Lots of soup

Ohhhhh... thanks Lola darling! Mwah!!!!

A friend tries to convince me to buy a mac, but they are 4x more expensive!

I am still feeling sorry for myself for being stuck here, in stead of having fun up in the Lakes... will miss you

P.S. this may sound silly, but how do I get the films onto the external drive???? No drive on the netbook and the dvd's I have cannot be copied... so I'd rather have an external dvd/cd drive to be honest... seems easier?

[southernsoftie]

Crumbs! I've not packed yet!

Phew! Job's a good un. Bound to have forgotten something.

On a worrying note, just necked some Beechams All-In-One after a couple of hot flushes and some difficulty swallowing in the last hour. I'm sure I'll be reet.

Would like an early night, but got to pick BH up from her work's do at 12.
*yawn*

Edit. Phone call from BH: Make it 1 o'clock.
