Trying to hide from a blizzard while not in a university library...
Sorry for the lack of posts as I have been otherwise engaged in the pursuit of my academic career, namely I have had a load of essays to do and haven't been climbing. As I write, the snow is falling outside, in fact it started today when I was appropriately positioned on top of a mountain. Rather wonderfully it covered the hideously icy path I came up turning the decent into an absolute nightmare, meaning it took me two and half hours to the top, but three and a half down. Not nice, and I've the bruises to prove it.
I've been working on an essay on the Middle East that has managed to remove all my memories of a vibrant emotive place with one of complexities, but most likely not in the right order. The mantra of always answer the question was lost in a rambling, mixed up prose lacking the detail and thought I'd like to think I put into my articles on the said Middle East. Basically I'm making the excuse for it before I get it back, and am looking for another part of the world to cover, unfortunately the topic of the essay I'm, or should be working on now. Above this text should be a picture of me in the uni library, rambling happily on the keyboard. But due to the stress of 3 days waiting in for three mornings, for deliveries that have not arrived, well one did and I got it from the neighbours when I got home, but that is beside the point I had to get out. So I did in a blizzard. And my books that I need to finish this essay have still to arrive, one month after ordering them. Arghhhh! Anyway enough ranting, and after only going up stupid climbs for several years, so far this year I've inadvertently climbed through no plan, three munros. Two of these with celebrity climbers as well, who are probably as shocked that they have become munroists. Evidence below...Anyway back to Kashmir...
