Home

Well its been an amazing trip and I still have much to write, describe and discuss. The final hotel was a bomb and I shan't be recommending them to anyone but overall the trip was magnificent, the Junior Grendels are exhausted but happy and Mrs Grendel looks back fondly on surviving.

It is great to be home and I am looking forward to some routine again, including work on Monday. They boys are looking forward to vegging out without 'Dad' rousing them out of bed in the dark to go climb something cold and steep - and possibly geologically active.

Mrs Grendel is glad there are no more boats.

And finally - here is the image I mentioned weeks ago - shot through the lens of a telescope on Mount John - a bit ragged around the edges but I was holding the camera over the eyepiece.
