The Tramping Report: About this blog

16 February 2006

I'm still trying to find time to catch up on writing up my tramps. I have three weekend trips I haven't posted yet.

Still to come are Mt Somers South Face route, Brass Monkey and Salmon Creek.

Maybe this week...

Honora and I haven't been out tramping for weeks. We've just moved house and things are still a bit chaotic.

I hope this weekend we'll be able to get out for a walk somewhere or either one of us could go hut crazy.

Making it worse is that I won't have my cable connection back on for another week so I'm off-line too!

I hope people bear with me through this difficult period.
