Oh, Oh ! Never mind the stunning fact that Mark Lammmaaarr is doing a show on BBC2 as I type these very words, and it has reggae, rock and all sorts of musical bollocks, today, whilst clambering down an un-named stream that becomes Mithil Brook when it turns West, I noticed a stone with some marks, and those marks are Graptolites ! My second favourite fossils ! Brilliant !
Here is a piece of Ordovician seabed, with a few Diplograptus Multitudes, from a pelagic sea of something about 400 million years before present. More of less. What a strange thing to touch the remains of an extinct species that once filled the seas. Floating in a deep sea of a time before even iPods and tinned lager were known.

What I did today...

At the trig point on Great Rhos.

Walked up Great Rhos, 660M , Radnor Forest. On a typical British summer day, 17C maximum, with low cloud and moderate North Westerly wind. Was going to spend the day lazing around, plan to go to Windgather Rocks was not so good as rain forecast. So Mrs suggested me & the Boy go somewhere, so we did !

Walked up the hill, down by another route and at the end of the path read this happy notice.
Lucky I threw the parts of a trip flare I found away.

Last Friday went to Ogwen Valley, parked, up with the plan of going into Cwm Bochlyrtrrd and up the South Ridge of Tryfan, bu walked into mist, and ended up on the East Face and thus decided to climb the East face to the top. Good scramble !
Heres the Boy, near the top...


On the way down the Miners Track saw a couple of cargo planes...


Wierd to be walking above a plane.

Well that sums up the 2 weeks holiday. Next week I'm hoping and praying that all my efforts to get off the internal project have come to fruition...

A Happy Monday, on a Saturday on Hydra, in 2005...


Someone stabbed on the Pershore Road, a couple of Policemen stabbed as well, another isolated incident.
Ho fucking hum.
