First Camping Trip

We went on out first camping trip with the 3 of us to see how it would go. 2 Nights in the Vercors with our friends Pete & Helen and their 2 little ‘ns Thomas and Anna.

Joe loved camping, as it meant he was outside all the time. He tore around the campsite, playing on the “Slide-a” and making lots of new friends, including quite a few Girl friends !

Joe meets Santa

Joe now recognises Santa as he has several cuddly Farther Christmi at home! He was very pleased to see Father Christmas at the Launch of the Season fireworks in the Village, as well as seeing some of his reindeer.

Chocolate !

Tracey asked me if I wanted some chocolate, Joseph heard and came rushing over all excited! Looks like we will have to be careful what we say from now on - no sneaky chocky snacks!

Here are some new photo’s of Joe from the end of summer, beginning of autumn.

Ultra Trail Courmayeur - Chamonix

24th August was the day I’ve been waiting for and training for all year! The start of the big run - the Ultra Trail CCC, 86.5km with 4,500 m of ascent.

I’m glad to say that it went really well. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of running this incredible event. It was certainly tough at times; there where time I thought I would not make it, but in the end I arrived in Chamonix at 5:38am on Saturday morning, 17 Hours 8 Minutes after I left Courmayeur, in 361 st place (Out of 1,600 starters)!

I’m over the moon at such a good position for my first Ultra Marathon, having only done my first Marathon this year as well!

There is a full writup on mountainnomad. In the meantime here are some pictures.

Joe in The Sandpit

We got Joe a sandpit the other week. He loves it! Just sits for hours digging sand and letting it drain through his fingers! Here are some photos.
