And the kids are fairly independent, as you surmise. And Sue keeps going with her old Karrimor Jaguar, with its ancient contents as ballast so that I can keep up!<BR/>Actually, we do hope to re-live the 'SBR' [aka HRP] route by way of a separate blog. (I'd love to do it again though.)<BR/>You may notice a 'practice' blog of a one week trip in the next few weeks.<BR/>Next year the longest trip will be 3 weeks, and we hope to continue the Italian Border Route (IBR), starting at Saas Grund, for two weeks in September. It really was a fabulous route that continues into more wonderful territory.<BR/>For now, I think the 'year of constant summer' has now expired, so wet weather gear may finally be tested over the next few days!<BR/>Have fun yourself - I'm envious of you being so much closer to the snow than we are here.<BR/>BUT, it goes without saying, 'we have a plan!'<BR/>Bye for now<BR/>MartinPhreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-19926588010456827752008-10-02T13:47:00.000+01:002008-10-02T13:47:00.000+01:00Happy birthday!

No wonder that you can spend that much time walking.<BR/>Keep on walking and I'm looking forward to next years SBR (Spanish Border Route incorporating parts of the GR10 and GR 11) trip.. :-)<BR/><BR/>All the best from an envious<BR/>RomanLighthikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554784533149166651noreply@blogger.com
