yay finally i am going to complete this award. i have been doing it for some years now, my squadron at cadets hasn't been the most organised. Finally i have everything done apart from the final expedition.

2 weeks time i go to lake windermere to do 4 days of intense hill walking and living in the same clothes for four days living out of my rucksack. heaven.

the only slight problem is that i have a couple of injuries. i have ITB syndrome, all runners out there will be wincing in pain as they will understand. imagine a hot knife being driven into the side of your knee. especially when going up hills. not good

plus i have achelle tendonitis because of my bloody boots from lst weekend. i thought they were broken in by now but clearly not as the pressure on the tendon was insane. so a hot knife being ripped through my left ankle. yummy.

apart from that it's all good. i have my assesment this weekend for my basic expedition leader award. yay. and i have some bouldering comps coming up. on the subject of climbing i was really hitting form last week and feeling very strong indeed, i just hope i don't lose my form in the time off that i need to have for my ankle.

fun fun.
