That was an interesting tale. Everybody should have adventures once in a while! I have a bunch of sponsored ones on my agenda (have adventures and raise monies for charity? Do want): climb Slieve Donard, coast-to-coast walk across Ireland, and maybe climb Carrauntoohil at some point too. Neither of the mountains is what you would call challenging (you can basically just dander up aside from a few bits) but if I can get £1/metre above sea level we will be cruising. ;-)

I liked that you found a sekrit nature trail by following the song; it seems like it would be fun to deliberately plant clues to things like that in your band's songs and hope your fans uncover them all. Maybe they did it on purpose, maybe not, but I shall choose to believe the former because it amuses me! PS: plant phobia: Yours or Rik's? If the former then it's a fact I did not previously know about you (Internet acquaintances, how do they work). Is it rude to ask more about that?

Also, the outfit looks fine on you. DISCLAIMER: my fashion sense extends to "what clothes are on the top of the pile this morning" so get your salt shaker out and all, but I wouldn't give odd stares if I saw you walking down the street at any rate. Well, apart from the "she looks just like rax" kind maybe, but I'm sure you get that a lot. The resemblance is uncanny, actually.

(got some amusingly odd spell-checker suggestions for "Carrauntoohil": Currently, Grandiosely, Groundhog, Grantley, Grandly, Grendel. Excuse me whut r u doin spell-checker.)
