Here it is, the end of the year.
Another strange year to be sure. I started with one job and living in Staffordshire and ended it with a different job and living back in South Wales. I’ve seen more snow this year than for a very long time (in South Wales). I’ve made an effort and kept my blog up to date and its now 16months old. I’ve done a fair amount of walking but not a huge amount of wilderness camping. A very mixed but nethertheless completely unboring year to be sure.
I just want to say that I hope everyone has a great new year and I hope to see you out there in the hills perhaps. Oh and many thanks to James over at Backpackingbongos . The Buffalo shirt I won in his December competition arrived today and its a perfect fit. Thanks James, much appreciated!
Happy New Year All

Get that Buffalo shirt out on them hills and have a good new year.
I’ll try Martin. Its very warm and a different feel to anything I have had before. Happy New Year
Happy New Year, just might cross your path in the Brecons someday.
let me know when you are in the vacinity Geoff 🙂
All the best Dave!
cheers Dave and to you
Happy new year matey and here’s hoping we all get out a bit more for some good old wild camping fun. All the best.
absolutely Marcus, I’ll drink to that.
Dave, I hope you and your family arrived well in 2010. I have a magic fascination with Wales, and hope that this year I might be able to make a trip over to the UK, Wales and Scotland particularly, and walk with some of the outdoor bloggers there =) I’ll let you know if I drop by for a walk, so that the Buffalo shirt gets to see the hills!
I hope you do get to come over Hendrik. The Welsh hills have a magic all of their own. Mysticism, history and of course gorgeous views. When you do make it over drop me a line beforehand
Have a good un. At some point I’ll head to the Brecons this year, so we’ll have to hook up. Baz
indeed yes Baz. By all means drop me a line upon firming of plans. It would be a pleasure and an honour
Happy New Year Dave, glad that the Buffalo shirt arrived in time for New Year and that it is a good fit. You certainly will not be cold wearing it!
absolutely not. Its as warm as a warm thing on a warm day 🙂
