After the mad rush prior to Christmas to send out all necessary mail before the festive period, Christmas and New Year were actually very good and almost relaxing with a trip to the Peak District in hurricane force winds on Christmas Day. New Year brought to a close the eventful and successful year of 2011, which included a Scottish winter , climbing in Kyrgyzstan upon Peak Lenin subsequently learning many lessons, and closing with the Baruntse and Mera Peak expedition .

Anne Marie Gross 4th again 91h28mn only 9mn slower than last year! Well this is going to be short because I don’t want to dwell on my own failure too much.

In the last three days I’ve heard a few things about Mountain Rescue teams and how to raise funds for them.
