work owed me a couple of days back and so I took them yesterday and today. I've had a brilliant couple of days with the family. loved seeming them doing some of the things that I normally only get to hear about. Gym today at the Wiltshire School of Gymnastics in Melksham was brilliant. Seeing how they are both developing so much and watching them with other children so rewarding. Today another boy asked Oliver about the things on his ears, Oliver told him very confidently that they were his hearing aids. He really seemed to enjoy being asked and telling him what they were. He said it with a big smile and was laughing with the boy after. He's doing so very well with them :)
This was the main street crossing the river in Tafraoute. The worst flood in 30 years rose in a matter of minutes and washed away the entire marketplace.
Nemrut was closed for the season, but we climbed it anyway. 3 hours up, 1 hour at the top and 2 hours down. We started at 6 in the morning and were back by mid-day.
In Death Valley, the viewpoint above the old ghost mine of Chloride is tough to get to, but worth it. Some in the group opted to stay below this hill and walk up. It's not too bad if you pick a good line and keep your tires over the large rocks.

Rock climbing isn’t all action movie-style, death-defying ascents. It’s also a fun change from the typical gym workout and totally beginner accessible.

Ah, it is wonderful to be finally able to see and photograph my muse again... Muses can be male, right?
The Poet has moved to Aarhus in Denmark and my zoom lens isn't good enough to snap photos of him over the Atlantic, so we'll have to visit each other every once in a blue moon.
Katahdin means “the greatest mountain,” a fitting name for the breath-taking finish to the famous Appalachian Trail. Named by the Penobscot Indians, Mount Katahdin at Baxter State Park in Northern Maine is one of the tallest mountains in the region. Host Lisa Densmore hikes into Chimney Pond, the base camp for the mighty Mount Katahdin.
Join host Lisa Densmore and Rick Wilcox of International Mountain Equipment in North Conway, as they brave the treacherously icy Frankenstein Cliffs in the White Mountains. Crawford Notch is one of the most popular and challenging ice climbing areas in New Hampshire.

Standing tall at 5,366 feet in elevation in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Mount Madison is the northernmost mountain in the Presidential Range. Mount Madison and the Presidentials, including nearby Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson and Mount Washington all rise well above treeline into the alpine zone. Weather can be very changeable and harsh without much notice. On this trip, we lucked out with clear skies, but a steady wind.
We began at the Appalachia Trailhead on Route 2, just outside of Gorham, NH. From there, we took the Sylvan Way Trail to the Howker Ridge Trail. The Howker Ridge Trail climbs steeply after Hitchcock Falls, making its way over a series of small peaks on the ridge, eventually ending above treeline at the intersection with the Osgood Trail (which is also the Appalachian Trail). From there, we followed the Osgood Trail over the summit of Mount Madison and down to the Madison Springs Hut.
The Appalachian Mountain Club huts are always a welcome break from a hike in the White Mountains. They offer a comfortable place to rest, restrooms, clean water, and if you want to spend a few dollars, freshly baked goods and coffee.
After resting at the hut, we made our way over to the Airline Trail to descend back to Appalachia. The Airline is one of the most scenic trails in the area, following a narrow ridge along the edge of King's Ravine, offering views both up the mountain and down into the valley. The trail descends more than 3500 feet to Appalachia, so you're knees will definitely feel it by the end!
This was a 10 mile hike with about 4,300 feet of elevation gain. We'd classify this as a difficult hike, with rock scrambles, a few small climbs over large rocks, and then a very long and rocky descent on the Airline.
