Hikes and other stuff
Yay – the Garmin was not a waste of money
I plan these walks but I seem to only plan some parts. I’m really good at sorting out my trains, booking campsites and hotels, booking time off work, and also buying new kit. I’m really good at the new kit part. The area I really lack is the route. By that I don’t...
Post delayed
