A quick post to wish everyone all the best for 2012.
Our backpacks tailed off markedly last year due to other projects, poor weather and stuff happening, let’s hope for more in 2012. At least we started the year today with a very quick walk before the rain rattled in, just a short local outing from home on the deserted country lanes but a pleasant tonic after our voluntary incarceration over Christmas. Not much in the way of training though, the Cheshire plain near Jodrell Bank is flat as a pancake. It’s not photogenic at all and the morning was pretty gloomy, but on the right is the only picture we captured, a lake near one of the lanes.

A happy new year to you both and thanks for sharing your adventures over the last few years. Hope there’s more to come in 2012.
Happy New Year Geoff.
Like you my activities were very much restricted last year, with bad weather and family duties getting in the way.
Lets hope that 2012 is proves to be vintage year in the hills.
At least you blew the cobwebs away ! Happy New Year. Now where are those cold crisp winter days ?
Happy New Year. We went cycling from home today and of course it started to pour down about half way round. I can normally see Jodrell Bank from the ride at the top of the hill outside Norton in Hales.As the rain lashed into our faces, I was trying to convince my brother in law that normally you can see the Wrekin, Berwyns and Peak District from there:)
Happy New Year Geoff - hope to read about many of your backpacking adventures over the coming months.
