Congratulations to Me!

What can I say, I'm almost speechless.

Today my "Dan the Proclaimer" video has reached 100 views. With YouTube receiving just 30 million video views a day, I cannot believe it only took 25 days to get 100 viewings!

My next big milestone is 1 million views and based on my calculations I will only have to wait 685 years!

Damn Funny

I watch a lot of stuff on YouTube and most of it is a waste of bandwidth, yeah OK, and possible so is Dan The Proclaimer (see earlier post), but tonight I came across this one which is hilarious (WARNING: Very strong language).

Ascent of La Tournette

Last week my brother-in-law Mike came to stay. Both being keen hill/mountain walkers, we decided we would do La Tournette. This mountain is the highest peak in the region and reaches 2351 metres at its peak. It took 3 hours to walk up and apart from it being a constant ascent it wasn't too difficult. Nearer the summit there is some scrambling over rocks, but chains have been secured to the rock faces to help you. Once you get to the top the views are amazing, Mont Blanc was stunning, particularly as we had almost perfect weather without a cloud in the sky.
