Austrian alps!

Some photo inspiration to keep you going!

The ski trip made me even more excited! I love the mountains! We are going to be waking up to views like this every single morning! Wooh!

Check Hannah posing on the left hand side too!

Callum's kit cert!

A tent!

Ever caring Callum has got our back! He has gone for a tent:

- a tent provides for the whole team. Not just one person
- shelter from the sun! (hopefully!!)
- shelter from the rain!
- shelter in a first aid emergency...
- poles can be used as a splint
- the tent as bandages!
- and we get to have a good nights sleep!

But the question is... what tents should we take?! Size vs weight?

Dave's definate kit hit!

Leatherman CX

I've gone for my leatherman CX because:

- Loads of different applications

- Super light!

- Pimping body frame!

- You can carve sticks into model cars or boats or planes or wooden leathermans...

- Good for rescuing stricken marmots which have been entangled in redbull cans!

- Good potential for fixing things!

- It makes me feel manly!

- I get extra food as i have to slice it!

- You can sleep next next to it incase a mountain bear attacks!

- Or a honey badger!

- Tin opener...

- Ok... bored now! Get one!

Next payment

mmmm!

Walking up mountains is tough!! We need to up the calories but it is important to make sure our snacks are not only energy boosters but also tasty too!

The Faboulous Bakin Boys do awesome flapjacks and when in tescos this week i was very excited to see their new range! Flapjack with a fruit twist! Wooh!

And buy one get one free! Even better!

Fab skiing snacks too Ben and Hannah! Did I mention we're off skiing in 12 days to get an early mountain fix before the summer! Hee hee!

EHIC tastic!!!!

My EHIC has arrived....

If you haven't got yours it takes 5 min to fill in online and mine took about a week to arrive.... Happy days!

TK Maxx Genius!!!!

A top tip for you all...... Scour TK Maxx for bargains because there are some amazing things to be had! I've just picked up a Trekmates polar buff for £4.99 and I have seen a Vaude windstopper for £15 before. Also look out for decent walking boots in their shoe bit coz Paul picked up a pair of Gore-Tex off road trainers for about £30... I've even seen a North Face fleece in there so always worth a look.

A word of advice though.... if you see something and you're not sure, buy it and then take it back coz it will never be there again!

Happy shopping :)
