Time to stop messing around make this available to the whole wide world. There will be changes, upgrades and general messing about with the blog over the next few weeks – it’s one of my favorite things to do. Lets see what happens when I push this button… hmm… probably nothing… what a dissapointment.

After hours of searching over many days I’m officially bored of trying to find travel underwear online in the UK. I’m going with Jockey ! It must be something to do with underwear models – pretty sure their gym routines are longer than 30mins and they make me feel “Less Brad Pitt than Brad Pitiful” (Thanks Tim Minchin).

Would it not be more comfortable if V could shop for me, and I for her ? Shopping for lingerie is just so much more satisfying than shopping for  jocks 😉 … and to any outdoor clothing manufacturers out there, “Travel Lingerie ” seems to be an un-tapped market.

V off to work - Look'n Good in GoreTex

Look what arrived by courier yesterday. No, not V. The ‘Chilli Pepper Red’ Downpour Jacket. A serious piece of gear.. for a serious adventure…. serious. Should also come in handy for our snowboarding trip next week – will report back on how it performs in the snow.

And yes i’m also a gear junkie. I got a travel shirt yesterday – from Rohan (not the kingdom) and am wearing it today with the intention of hand washing it tonight in the sink to see if is dries by tomorrow !

BTW – We are both in pain having decided to start a tiny exercise routine, about 30 mins a night, to get us ready for the snowboarding and travel. I hope it makes a difference (doubt it), but I guess its better than just sitting on the couch (we do that too).
