Mountain to myself at 2200m

I rode the upper gondola down and slogged back up a couple hundred meters. There’s no one within a quarter mile. Just this view, the sun, the wind… I believe I’ve discovered the perfect spot for a siesta . . .

2700m

Granted, I ascended by gondola, but the view is still impressive!

Au revoir England

Leaving St Pancras station this morning en route to Paris. When I was in high school, I saw a TV show (yes, pre-internet) about some crazy engineers who were going to try tunneling thru the chalk under the channel. “How awesome would it be to ride THAT train?!” Bit sad to say goodbye to all my friends (old and new) in London, but we will meet again! Allez! Allez!

Did you say ‘climbing challenge’?!

Blane setup several climbing challenges in our last session. This was the easiest, but so fun! Was hangin as the coppers rolled by… “and you sir! how old are you?! You should know better!”

The White Cliffs of Dover

Another thing I thought I’d never see! I came straight from Heathrow …just hiked two hours from the train station at Dover Priory. TOTALLY worth it.

Allo Allo! London calling…

Across the pond. But before I meet up with some other ‘Yanks tomorrow, I’ve a bucket list item to tick off. Heathrow, to Paddington station, to St Pancras station, to a certain Southeastern traing . . .
