Oli, Dave, Kerry and I had a planning meeting for the Dales Walk last weekend. If you’re really interested you can see what we discussed here, but it’s rather dull.
Oli sent me some photos that he had taken during the meeting, and his captions amused me somewhat so I thought I’d share.
I think it sums it all up very well.
Dave, the Quartermaster was looking at “Things to Eat”, stroking the crinkle cut crisp.
Evan was pottering around, handing us things.
You were trying to work out which of the four maps to open first.
I couldn’t even focus the camera.
At least I didn’t get a bit of lego stuck in my foot!
This shows the true cohesion of our planning group. You’re pointing at a path, and Dave’s indicating the motorway. Marvellous
And finally, a photo in focus, and with a big smile. (are you actually sitting on Amy?!)

In July of this year I shall be walking 78 miles in 6 days in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by my close friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005. Please look here for further details and consider sponsoring me. Thank you.

“You’re pointing at a path, and Dave’s indicating the motorway. Marvellous” Hahhahsha!!! That would be me too! Be so grateful I’m no where near your maps - I’m hopeless! I couldn’t find my way out of a paper bag and I am NOT kidding!
Sorry Amy is still poorly - don’t squash her ;o)

I particularly like that giant shot glass to your left. I understand though… I’m quite sure this event is proving to be very stressful for you.

Xbox - What do you mean impending? It’s already here.
Penelope - Dave was actually expressing his concern that we would have to cross the motorway by just pegging it to the central reservation. I told him I was pretty sure there was a bridge.
Jeff - That’s actually a sick bucket, you can also see a very ill looking Amy on the sofa.
Arjan - I’m glad one of us is

Isn’t it just one path? Surely you just go straight?

Excellent stuff, good luck with it, and with all the, erm, expert planning.
I’m doing my own thang this weekend, the London to Brighton bike ride, for the BHF. Blissfully little planning is required, though general fitness may be more of an issue.
