Welcome

Welcome to my 2011 follow up to the hugely successful blog of 'Jotown and Wally on the road'.

Here you'll be able to follow my quiet 'lifestyle',as I wander around the highways,byways,mountains and trails of Europe, in my van affectionately called 'Wally', or further afield using metal wings !

If I'm around where you are, and you want me to call - or visit me...just let me know ..

You can follow my adventures and keep in touch by posting messages whilst I am travelling.

For those of you who are returning for the second season then I expect more messages than in 2010....... this year there is a counter of page views at the foot of the page, so I will be watching.....!

Off to the Snow Clad Mountains..

Another very early start, this time to set off for Bartlett, in New Hampshire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlett,_New_Hampshire , for a few days climbing.

It was heavy rain in NYC, as we set off at 0715 in Joes hired ’Jeep ’through the busy rush hour traffic.

As we travelled further North, the rain eased,passing through Manchester (yes, another one !)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester,_New_Hampshire  and Springfield, home of ??http://www.chron.com/entertainment/photogallery/simpsonspremiere.html  then turned to heavy snow !, as we wound our way around the White Mountains http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Mountains_(New_Hampshire) the road was distinctly ‘tricky’, but eventually we found our great house on a lake in Bartlett, the snow engulfing everything !

After a quick shopping trip for provisions, and the first of our many trips this week to East Coast Mountain Sports in North Conway http://www.ems.com/shop/index.jsp?kw=storeDetail&f=161 .

Then it was back to the cabin, before more snow arrived…

Should we go out to sample the food all around ? – No we settled for Nicolas Spag Bol –great !

There was so much snow around, that the snow plough was still coming around outside the cabin at Midnight !
