Dave,
The knees are fine at the moment, but I won’t be venturing out very far until I’m pretty sure the heel can stand it, and even then it will be a very short trip.

A very tidy tent, mine always looks like a party has taken place inside! Hope that you are better and up backpacking soon Geoff.

I was wondering whether to go via my GP but I wanted remedial action fast, so I went straight for the physio. Do let us know how you fare with the GP approach and subsequent treatment. Robin, Thanks very much. Knees are the worst of all I find, which is why I take it slowly and very carefully on all descents. I hope the Carneddau trip goes well, a very fine area. Mark, I always make good practical use of the recovery time, albeit with gritted teeth, but I already feel a bit sluggish and unfit. I have a bench and weights for training but it's not the same as walking by a long chalk. Hendrick, Thanks again. I look forward to seeing your picture of the Scarp 1. Martin,

Tidy it looks in your tent. I tried to snap a photo of inside the Scarp 1 last weekend, but it didn't work out too well. But space in the Scarp 1 there is plenty off, and I had all my stuff minus shoes inside. On my next trip I'll need to try to take a better picture. Robin started a trend there =) Also from me the best wishes for your recovery, Geoff.

Time flying by is the worst part of recovery...even worse than the !@#$%^! PT, painful or boring or both. Not only are you not doing the things you want to be doing, but you feel that the fitness you need to do all the things you want to be doing is quickly sliding away. The only solace is beer and snapping at small children. I wish age and patience increased at the same pace, but so far, no. Best wishes for a quick recovery. You’re so right, Geoff.

Having suffered from a knee injury for many years, which prevented me from doing backpacking, I know how frustrating it is. Best wishes for your recovery Geoff.

The Laser Comp has such a good porch. Such a good tent. Hope you heal well. My Doctor has refereed me for physiotherapy so things are looking up for me as well. Very tidy.
