whats your excuse for not being outside bushwalking?

[wayno]

I've been out for a couple hours of coast walking, and legs are sore from being unable to hack running during the week...

[Son of a Beach]

Three reasons:

Wife's away so I have to look after the kids.

Had to be here when the local farmer/butcher delivered the meat mid-morning.

Have had a fever for two days and severe diarrhoea for three days leaving me 5kg lighter and with no energy for anything at all.

[wayno]

hmm, sorry to hear that, possiby a wee bit too much information

[Strider]

Uni assignment, and work. Although I did manage a moonlight wander about Mt Wellington last night.

Wifey due to have our first baby any day. I'm on home watch, banned from going away too far from home.

Had the last 2 nights in the hammock on the deck though (She's developed a snoring issue in later pregnancy). Still trying to devote time to my gear......
I'm sorta camping that way at least. I just close my eyes and imagine I'm tucked away between 2 trees in some remote corner...

'cos I have over 100 pages of maths and physics to to read and learn before an exam on monday... oh yeah, and theres those two assignments that are due next week and the week after. *&%$#! assignments. Worse part is its beautiful weather to be outside, well, perfect is probably a better word...

But I'll be going for a run tomorrow rain or shine and hopefully my new tent arrives nest week so I have another reason to put off study (because the lord knows I need more of those )

[Bluegum Mic]

Get better soon Nik. And fingers crossed for a happy healthy bundle soon Forest. Phan-tom Im sending all my best cramming brainwaves your way (I had a real talent for cramming at uni...possibly linked to the time spent socialising at the bar?!?)

Well Im walking in the lammington next week so Ive got a good walk to look forward to. For me today was spent doing a killer bootcamp session first thing then heading to the beach for the first swim of the season. Lovely!

[wayno]

you were part of a bootcamp? or you were killing other people by taking one??

[north-north-west]

*cough*
Well, I had to work today. I did load the car last night so I could get away straight from work, but *cough, cough* am coming down with a nasty chest cold.
Given that I have a minimum 50 hour week lined up starting 6am Monday, I figured it would be better to spend tonight and tomorrow doing as little as possible. *cough*

[Bluegum Mic]

I was one of those being killed. Im ok now but tomorrow...

[wayno]

whatever you do, don't stop moving for the next few days....

Thanks Mic, I only managed about 25 pages yesterday and the test is this aternoon, It's going to be a long day!!

I'm heading to Lamington to do the Border Track to break in my tent when it arrives, I'm really looking forward to it. It looks like you'll get superb weather, what walks are you planning?

[Bluegum Mic]

Just doing Daves Circuit next weekend so a nice easy walk then possibly Mt Greville the following weekend. Border track sounds like a great break. Its on my to do list.

[MartyGwynne]

Am at work filling in time till days off (yes nightshift at 12:33). CO2 factory working well so surfing time
But then I am at home doing work I have left for the last few weeks of being else where.

The weekend this was first posted was a glorious, warm few days here in Tassie. The weekend just gone was a wakeup that spring is a time of fickle weather - rain and snow low down on the mountains and then strong winds - over 150km/h on Mt Wellington and other places. Anyone out camping would have wanted a really bombproof tent and a very sheltered location. Fun at places like High Moor I imagine.
