Broken!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I swam a bit too fast this morning after a very hard hike on Sunday! It was nice though, I had a whole lane by myself almost for an hour which is unusual. The winter started to do its effect…less people at the pool! Weeeee! The hike was not very nice, cold and wet! No […]

Quiet!

A very quiet night yesterday indeed! Good sleep and excellent swim. I talked to two fast swimmers at the pool today and asked them about the fast, private lanes. They do not mind me swimming with them and one of them made me laugh when she said the public fast lanes were crap and full […]

I had a very short night, one of my flatmate had friends in the common kitchen and I could not sleep. After going out 2 times asking them to talk less loudly, I asked them to leave at the 3rd time. My flatmate had the idea to try to insist to stay I told him […]

SURREAL

The views on the last hike were beautiful! Probably among my best scenery shots: Rhyd Ddu I did not enjoy much the social side. I had the impression half of the group did not like me much. I usually set a quick pace when I am in group 1, the hardest group.

Water/windproof pants + water/windproof hat + thermal base layer to protect against the cold. I am ready for tomorrow’s Hike. The thermal base layer is really nice, makes me look like an athlete. It was made in germanny and it fits me like a charm. I love it! The weather seems nice though according to […]

Unexpected Fame!

It has been 6 weeks now that I am in Manchester and things have started sadly in a bad way for me. I kept on running into awkward situations and people would be more or less rude to me. So I tried to be as simple as I could and disappear in the crowd. I […]

Two Very Hard Hikes!
Filed Under Daily, Hiking | Leave a Comment
I had two very hard hikes consecutively! Capel Curig last Sunday was very windy and Langdale this week was very wet. I really thought I had no “acceptable pictures” from Capel Curig but I did have some decent ones. I felt very good after though. Yesterday it was very nice on the social side. Everyone […]

No Hiking with the Uni club but Hiking with Couch Surfing people in Manchester this Saturday. I wish I did not commit because the weather forecast does not look good and it is a pain to walk in the rain and with gusts up to 55 mph! I wanted to meet some Couch Surfers in […]

A Scary Thought!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
Monday night at 11 pm, I received a SMS from a team leader in the hiking group asking me if I have lost anything in the bus. I confirmed it was my Ipod. Suddenly I had a very uncomfortable thought. Usually when I move, I used to put a very important personal file called memo.txt […]
