    The Old Man of Storr, part of the Cuillin range of mountains on the Isle of Skye. We used to spend a few weeks here mountain training every October/November when it was guaranteed to be cold, wet and miserable before moving to Arctic Norway in January for three months.

    Nah, that looks nasty . . . really nasty. Even if you'd pay me . . . I prefer being below the waters.


    Having said that, we took up a new 'sport' a while ago - ice climbing. See if I can find a pic



    These are stills taken from a vid . . . not far from here, roughly three hours from here . . . on an active vocano.




    Frozen waterfall . . . a big chunk broke off just a few minutes after we left



    And down . . .



    An easier part.



    My girls have abandoned me for this activity and wait at the batch (cabin) with hot Glühwein . . .

    Posting that Skye photo brought back some memories. Our time there always culminated with a tactical night move with full kit through the mountains and then a dawn attack on the remote Sligachan Inn. For exercise purposes, there was no bridge across the river so crossing it, what is fairly fast flowing water was either up to your knees or your waist. Lovely. I found this short video which gives you some idea.

    Went there back in 2010.

    It was peeing it down when we visited the Old Man of Storr.

    Thankfully the Talisker whisky kept me going.

    This pic was taken near Uig.

    Post any pic anytime as many as u like-8a1b1701-72a1-492e-b3b4-2a6105d4a08f-jpeg

    A few days later we got the ferry to Arran, where the weather was glorious all week.

    One of the most atmospheric places on earth, even in bad weather. Of course there has been a bridge across to the Isle for some years now, though the years I was there ferry was the only option. The few weeks that we spent each year, we could manage at least one night out in Portree, the main centre of population (I hesitate to call it a town), and many a story came of those nights.

    Did it involve chasing and catching a greasy hog around the streets or perhaps a wicker man.

    I bet PAGs seen plenty of action.

    Even though it was like throwing a kit bag in the back of a three tonner

    Only NI, lost a couple of friends outside Crossmaglen. I'd left before the Falklands, though many I served with were down there.

    Here's one that's just popped up as a memory on Facebook from a year ago. Me trying to get into the kitchen.

    I don't have a mansion or an inground pool, but I have this movie star hangs out at my house. She tells me like it is. I'm carrying buckets of water to water my grapes, telling her I don't know how long before we have grapes, maybe I won't even live long enough to see grapes. She tells me "well you have to live longer than that dad" I start to get a tear in my eye, a lump in my throat "cause I'm not gonna water those grapes" I tell her you can finish the ice cream Trina because I'm getting fat. " it doesn't matter dad, your an old man, nobody cares" Thanks dau.

    Thanks. What the citizenship means to me is freedom. She will not need to ask the Thai government for permission if she wants to leave.

    Why would she need to, out of interest?

    Most every nationality is better for travel than Thai, freedom is right.
