Suddenly, Wibble has a bit more bite, Icy! Wonder why that is? :shock:

Am tempted to do it as an example on someone that won't get upset.....snappy?

I have just done this, just with J2ski info, but posted it to the person, so it remains private. I felt there was quite a lot of personal family information, but that if you did not have any additional links, such as linked-in or FB, probably OK.

OTOH, I agree should you be so inclined, it would be easy to build up a profile for personal abuse or criminal use.

The current actions by Lord McAlpine may well reduce the personal abuse/libel aspect, but there remain issues of criminal intent.

If you ain't tried it you can't say it is bad ;-)

I just don't like, erm, I mean don't like to admit, it's difficult, you know, I mean outing myself this way.

It's just that toe nails, (and finger nails), like hair, is stacked full of protein. Lives have been saved, ski bums have eaked out their season foods.

To be fair, I have never tried black nails, only pink. And I do recommend blond hair over all other colours.

Good diagram. The shaded area at the ankle is where you need to attach some dense stick-on foam. Dense enough to be barely compressible.

This can go inside or outside the liner.

It will draw the foot back, and prevent it from sliding forwards.

Will the Cervinia lifts be open? Gondola up, with gear, gondola down, with gear. You may have to ski with rucsac for some of it.
Milan Milpensa, where to go?

Gareth, if you drop an email to the skiwelt tourist office, and be specific in your needs, dates, rooms, HB etc, they will circulate to all accomodations in their area. The hotels/pensions will then contact you direct. I got a terrific offer for Scheffau this way.

From Munich, you can also access Kitzbuhel, the Wildschönau, (I will be in Niederau that week), Alpbachtal.

Happy hunting!
France - driving and breathalysers

That is good info re theposition of the Hi viz vest, CD, most people would naturally position it within the boot, along with the triangle, first aid kit, breathalyser kits.

Actually, logic tells me that you would need three breathalyser kits, because if you did use one, you would only have one left, and if........
