Looks like Face Book is full of the afore mentioned
Then you would need thirty trucks to rescue the ten and then 100 trucks to rescue the thirty etc. etc. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

Your right natural selection can be a bit slow! On the other hand if we got rid of all the idiots in the world there would be no one left to measure our superior intelligence by…

Indeed. I went with some visiting friends to one of Chamonix's 'must see' sites, Lac Blanc. Late spring, if I remember, some snow still on the ground at the height of the Lake, 2352m/7716ft. As we climbed from the access chairlift (2000m) for the 90min walk, we passed a family of four. Mum, Dad and two kids under the age of ten, wearing t-shirts, shorts and trainers and with one bag between them. Apparently their school-sized Disney back-pack contained 4 x full sets of waterproofs, 4 x pairs of gloves, 4 x hats, 4 x sun cream, 4 x thermals, 4 x food, 4 x water, phones, maps etc etc etc. Amazing really as it looked capable of carrying a round of cucumber sandwiches and little else. Fortunately it was (and remained) an impeccable day, but I don't need to tell experienced outdoor folk on this fourm that the Alps are anything but tame and snow at 1000m in August is not unheard of. Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |
