So I survived the ski guiding on Tuesday, knocking off a couple of blacks on the way.
On Wednesday we had a private lesson to brush up on technique. The effects were immediate and amazing, with N's confidence increasing as the day went on. We ticked off red after red with abandon.
Thursday saw a bus trip to another resort, pila, which we explored with what seemed like half of Italy. The reds tumbled again and N did some runs which previously would have had her fleeing the hills. Very impressed with the improvement, and it meant we were able to get to the summit and enjoy a 360 degree panorama of the alps. Spectacular. As was the chocolate ice cream I had afterwards in the main town.
Today, a day off from the skiing to explore the nearby therme spa at pre st didier. Spent quite a bit of the day staring at a snow covered mont blanc from a hot tub, feeling very decadent. A feeling marred only slightly by the other half of Italy being there too. The mud bath was a hoot.
What? Why? How? (sticky)
Hello and welcome,
Thanks for dropping by. I set this site up to track my progress towards the completion of my 2012 challenge. I'm aiming to travel 2,012km in 20.12 (appx) weeks in the gym or on the road. You can sign up yourself (or find out more) at this website.
Early on in the process I realised that the distance I would be covering would get me from Bristol, UK - where I live - to the outskirts of Rome, Italy. So I've been tracking my route along the way following this map.

I hope to raise a bit of money for Habitat for Humanity in the course of this - there's a justgiving page for that purpose. There is no obligation on anyone to donate - for me this is more about the process.
