Not good news to find out I got breast cancer for the second time in the same breast, after 13 yrs. Not good. After lots of thought & talks with family I decided the breasts had to go. Tears every day up to Thursday going into hospital, all went well. Home now at my daughter's with lots of love around me,...

OK everything has been done and I am ready at last to pump up the kayak, the pump has been charged for the regulation minimum 10 hours. Having read once again the pump up procedures I am ready to start and all goes well and the kayak is ready for the dam. It is not heavy and I can easily carry it down to the dam fr...

Managed to scare myself silly yesterday by going up Jacobs Ladder on Ben Lomond. Cannot believe this road is access to the ski fields! Single lane, no where to pass - unless on the hairpin, up traffic has to give way to down - so what? - I would have had to BACK down the road!!!! No safety barriers. I do not ha...

The kayak has been discussed at length previously. Had no kayak until it gets exchanged but still went down to the dam edge and looked up Tom and Dennise, they have their spot permanently and live in Eidsvold. Going backwards and forwards to Eidsvold last year they often brought things back for me th...

Well made the big leap a week ago and I'm camped at greens. I haven't met so many friendly and helpful people in such a short time before. Just the right balance of me time and chat. I'm glad so far I took the plunge and recommend it to any other solos out there wondering. Cheers

Anyone camping there now or has anyone been to the dam to check it out. My plan is to camp at Wuruma early March and any inf...

Set off from Ban Ban Springs by 7am heading initially for Eidsvold where I wanted to ascertain that the pharmacy there carried the medication needed for my 6 monthy injection for bone density. Hard enough to get to Eidsvold from Wuruma without finding that it is unavailable. Ended up having to get to r...

The wind has dropped, the birds have gone to bed and the crickets are chirping. I have a glass of wine and just watched the sunset. The too close neighbour has moved on. Maybe this solo travelling life ain't so bad after all.
