Well my daughter gets married in about three or so weeks time, and work must have taken pity on me. They let me work a couple of weeks in the Norway office, and it has proved very relaxing and given me a glimpse of the wonderful landscape. I managed a few little walks which were mostly in good weather, but the one I wanted to see most of all saw me drowned in a deluge. But I will save that one for another day, and do the touristy thing of going to see the Pulpit Rock at Preikestolen, and then freak myself out on the boulder at Kjerag. If you type Kjerag into the internet it will instantly give you a result of someone stood on the boulder with an inane grin on their face.....mixed with a modicum of terror. I suppose it depends on the weather -the day I visited was blowing a gale towards the 1000m and needless to say I didn't even attempt to go near the edge.
So I'm nice and relaxed and back to blighty for another attempt at the Nantlle Ridge in North Wales - I hope we have better weather than last time. We got blown away and had to abandon the ridge for safety reasons...and we lived to walk another day...next week actually.
Then it's walking on the back burner until the wedding is over.....but maybe I'll sneak up to the lakes one day when nobody is watching..
