Lock keeper meets his nemesis

Tomorrow I challange my nemesis, the Wigan flight. Maya is sat at the top of the flight ready for an early morning assault. With a little help from our friends we'll get down.

Departure

Setting off this evening...

Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares, and the slavery of Home, man feels once more happy.

Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821 -1890)

Unknown Lands? oh yes, going 'dahn sarf' and everything...

so what have we forgotten? think we have the essentials; each other, sense of humour, bit perspective, love and compassion, curiousity. All is well.
