The countdown continues.

I've just got back from North Wales as part of my training. Lugging a 24kg pack up and down Snowdon isn't much fun but I know from past experience it is going to be even harder on the mountain. After a foggy and damp start we climbed above the clouds for a really dramatic view over Crib Goch, The Glyders and the Carneddau beyond.

The spot communicator appears to have worked well at logging the route, so I'll definitely take it with me. 

Now back home and ploughing my way through my list of jobs to do before I leave (which seems to be increasing!).

Spot2 satellite GPS messenger purchased - track my progress

Well the title says it all really. I've just bought a second hand one off eBay. It should be here next week when I can start playing with it.

Hopefully it will allow me to send an update of my location on a daily basis which you can follow on the interactive map page. I'm hoping it will work always to the summit. Yet more technology to get to grips with (and batteries to carry!).
