Happy New Year

What a last day of 2008 (oops).
Today a parcel arrived from the US, a parcel I had been eagerly expecting. Yes the quilt kit and the updated Beyond Backpacking now renamed to Trail Life. The temptation is to be anti-social tonight and read the book. But I can wait until tomorrow.
I now have to either find some-one handing with a sewing machine or learn to see myself (a skill a want to pick up).
The other thing that I got today was unexpected. During a visit to Tesco I came across a tripod for a tenner that would be great for the video filming and also for photography. So it ended up in the shopping basket.
Anyway enough of my shopping trips and new arrivals I need to wish all my readers, friends and family a Happy New Year.
I hope you all have a great, safe time this evening, and see you all in the New Year.
Let me know what you did with the extra second you had this year.

  8. Ian, thanks for pointing out my mistake. Just too eager to leave 2008 behind.

  12. Happy New Year!

    Just out of interest – have you already got Beyond Backpacking? I’d be interested to see how much it’s been updated given developments in the last few years, although Ray Jardine may see things differently…

  14. I have had Beyond Backpacking for a while now. I will try and compare the two to see how much it has been updated and cover that in a review later.
