Did a lot of trekking once but sadly for personnel reasons cannot break away for very long.
I am in a HRP dreamtime mode.
It's a springtime thingy I guess.

Dork, you're very lucid at the moment and positively interesting. Are you unwell? ;-)

The trail report last year .
The PCT relatively easily traversable .
This guy follows in the best traditions of the British amateur observer now sadly corrupted by the forces of usury.
Precise ,methodical , balanced and clipped enough to convey information without excessive drama.

@tomo
Well up very high I should think the snowpack is so compacted that it will not melt fast even in warm weather.
Perhaps in the foothills seen in the video but not the High Sierra given the weight of the snow and ice .
This is the guys blog and video channel.

Dork

iirc floods have been as bad as earthquakes in the land of fruits and nuts - all that snow will have to melt.

Great interview of this British guy doing trail reports of the southern California mountains .
There is a massive snow pack in California .
These are just the foothills of the Sierras and not the real mountains .
I follow PCTers every year and cannot remember such heavy snow and ice resistance so close to the Mexican border.

Mrs May in Strasbourg is a toe curling embarrassment - what on earth possessed her to clamber into a get up that wouldn't be out of place in a Skegness pantomime - was it run up especially for the occasion?

Obviously intended to make an impression.... has to be up there with Broon clambering out of his official car at The White House with his trousers tucked into his socks - I wonder if Junker's people made sure he had the same coloured shoes on tonight?

What an absolute shitshow.

- and then The President of The European Parliament makes comments about punishing the UK - as if having May as PM isn't punishment enough.

Well - Mendacious May has received her instructions - now we shall see if it is bought!
May takes her instructions back to Westminster UK

In Strasbourg tonight, Theresa May has said:

It means we regain control of our laws, by ending the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.
That would appear to be a lie.
