Or "The man who went to a left in a plane but returned down a mountain."
So I have a few mini holidays over the next few days.
Firstly, me and the Missus will be off to Vienna on Friday. Visiting the oldest zoo is the main point. Very much looking forward to it. The weather has been amazing for the past few days. The BBC has had nothing but sun all week, a bit of a heatwave in fact and typically enough the BBC says it will rain on Friday. Nevermind. Eeeek, Speaking of which, I best let the Missus know. She won't be happy with the sudden change in weather as she has already started packing.
Of course we will return with plenty of photos of cute animals. The Missus is taking her digital camera so will be better then my shoddy grainy attemtps from back at V.
A few days after I return my dad is taking me up a mountain. Not just any mountain either.
Last year, for my holiday, I travelled with my dad and his friend across England. A two hundred plus mile trek across many mountains, feilds, gates and three National Parks.
One the third day of our walk I twisted my knee bouncing up a mountain. I had lots of enthusiasm those first few miles. The following day we were to go across Striding Edge. Striding Edge is a ridge and for those not totally sure about a ridges, its basically the spines that connect moutain peaks. Striding Edge is a very thin ridge, see the link for more details and photos. But here is my favourite photo.
Some folks walking across Striding Edge.
Speaking some friends of the Missus, they had mentioned that theyd walked along there and apparently there had been a few deaths already up that ridge this year. The BBC only has this story from a few years back.
The most attractive point about Striding Edge is the sheerness of the drops. Guides and websites will inform everyone that;
"The traverse of the edge is relatively easy in normal conditions and can be made easier by following the path that exists alongside and lower than the main ridge route. Care should be exercised when there is a high wind or ice as it is a very exposed ridge - a fall from here would be fatal."
Despite any weather conditions next weekend, my dad has said that we will be doing this.
Hopefully I'll be back with some photos.
Although they might be a bit grainy.
Thats if I make it back 
(Sorry Sammy, Ill stop making it sound really bad)
I've alot of catching up to do on blog land. Mainly as I have found a new paint tool called GIMP. So I've been looking at alot of tutorials of what can be done and how to do it.
One of the fancier things I've taught myself within a few minutes is this blending technique.
If there is anyone who enjoys photoshoping, but only has paint, I highly recomend GIMP. Its got a lot of uses and fancy things, but most important it's free.
If the Missus was a cloud.
You may see many more of these from now on.
Or at least while I'm still excited to have a new toy.
