The Led Zeppelin concert is going to be soooo cool

Well its finally happening, the biggest rock reunion in the history of rock reunions. After the little hiccup of Page fracturing a finger the gig is finally on for Monday 10th Dec.

I entered the draw for tickets, and then every competition going to win some, but alas it doesn't look like I'll be going.

I still had a couple of other options though..

1. I now live within a 5mile radius of Robert Plant, so I've desperately been loitering around the market town of Machynlleth in the hope of bumping into RP or an old roadie, smiling sweetly and grabbing myself a couple of tickets. This hasn't worked.

2. RP himself actually opened the church gardens in Penal and the local Rector is a friend of mines Dad, sooo maybe just maybe, Ah nope seems he's not been round for beer for a while now.

3. Take up mountain biking again and start visiting all the old houses in the area that Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin wrote songs and filmed video in, in the hope that their having a nostalgic visit. Geeez you can knock that idea on the head after biking up to the Bron Yr Aur which appears on the Physical Graffiti album, I'm knackered.

Well on that note and before I get arrested for either stalking or trespassing, I hope everyone that goes tomorrow has a great time, and I guess I'll be buying the DVD.

The "This Isn't Just Food, This is......" Joke

Well as the weather has been that bad and BT have finally sorted my phone line out, but as yet Tiscalli haven't sorted the broadband out, I've had to revert back to text communication to occupy myself, my inbox is now full of the weired and wonderful.

So if your at all squeamish don't read this joke....and it must be read with the Marks and Spencer's "this is not just food" advert in mind, you know all sultry and breathy with long poignant pauses.


Fresh 9 inch cock covered in hot mustard sauce....
Pierced young nipples dipped in boiling hot toffee....
Soft virgin clits grilled on maple soaked skewers....
Freshly shaved bollocks marinated in garlic and ginger, battered, lightly fried and then served on a bed of crisp rocket....

This isn't just food....This is S & M food.



And low and behold the sun has come out and wind guru is forecasting 15knts. I'm saved.

Are we on the brink of a new ice age?

Do you really want to scare yourself?!

I do my bit for the environment, admittedly I could do more but I've got a fairly low carbon footprint anyway.

If I can I'll bike or walk to where I need to get.
My hobbies don't use any fuel or power (kites, hiking, biking)
Lights get turned off when I'm not in the room, as does any heating.
I'll buy organic or farm produced food when possible (no packaging)
I avoid unnecessary flights, it helps that I'm not that keen on flying anyway, but I'd still rather have a weekend away in one of the UK's wonderful cities than pop off to Paris etc.

So anyway I've far to much time on my hands since quiting my job and moving to Wales, so when the afternoons get cold after hiking or kiting I get to play on the internet (which would be even better if BT pulled their finger out and sorted my line out, but thats another story) and I've found these fantastic if not worryng sites.

Have a look and let me know your views on climate change.

Big walk today!!! Tarren Hendre From Pennal

Good 4 and a half hour walk today, up Tarren Hendre (633) from Pennal. Tough in parts but with fab views and short enough that you can push it if you wanted.

We parked up in Pennal opposite the Riverside Pub near the church, don't ask me which church they must be big sinners in Pennal as for a small village there seems to be an awful lot of churches.

Then with the main road behind us we headed off down some narrow roads with the forestry to our right.

We continued over to the right and towards Pennal Isaf before climbing upwards to Mynydd Cefen Caer. Traversing to the right with the top of Mynydd to the right and the sharply dropping valley to the left, you can pick out the path on the other side that you need to follow up Tarren Hedrun.

You then follow a well defined path all the way round in a horse shoe shape until you start to climb again, this time all the way to the summit of Hendre. The path isnt great but its easy enough to follow as it runs along the side of a fence, you can also forget any form of sign posting from this point on.

About 15 mins in you come to a stile on the edge of a new bit of forest..ignore it! but do have a look at the fantastic view back across to Caider Idris (893) and the top of Tarren Gesail (667). Continue up the marshy path for 30min all the way to the top of Hendre. Here if your lucky you get awesome views back across to Borth and Barmouth, I wasn't it was getting very hazy and foggy on the top.



From here we started to wind our way along a flat summit back in the direction of Pennal, again forget any sign posts, just kind of vear diagonally across the top until you start to drop down towards 2 small hills. kind of do an S shape across the top of these and then continue dropping down to the right and onto a farm track.

Here it kind of goes a bit pear shaped as you now follow a private farm drive keeping your fingers x that the local farmer doesnt have an arse with you until you hit the small road that you started the walk on.

Keep an eye out on as you drop off the second of the 2 small hills and onto the farm track we saw 2 Red Kites, 3 Buzzards an Owl of some sort and to top it all off a Goshawk. How cool is that, all to the back drop of the Afon Dyfi .
