Well it's been a while since I last updated so I thought I'd share some of MY trekking news -

on New Year's Day 2010 I climbed to the top of Ingleborough, one of the Three Peaks in the Yorkshire Dales, in a bid to kick-start my fitness campaign for June 2011. That's when I hope to climb Kilimanjaro and follow in Great Aunt May's footsteps once again!

Here's a picture of myself, my friends Sue and Matt and my husband Duncan at the top of Ingleborough.

It was a bitterly, bitterly cold day and we arrived in a blizzard. Another couple we met at the top, while we were enjoying a cup of tea (freshly brewed on Matt's stove) and a slice of my homemade Christmas cake, told us how a woman and a child on another ascent, were being taken off by Mountain Rescue, thought to be suffering from hypothermia - that will tell you how cold it was.

Despite the Arctic conditions, I really enjoyed the trek. The scenery was absolutely stunning - a veritable Winter Wonderland!

I hope to continue doing one walk a week from now on - building it up slowly and gradually!!
