Taking a chill pill
Since I’ve kicked off my training plan, my blogs are very focused.
What about the rest of life? I have two main hobbies, riding my beloved motorbike and skiing.
This is not about motorcycling (I really need to get out on the bike…)
Taking a chill pill?
You need two things to alpine ski: snow and a slope. We travel for these. Here are some pictures from a couple of weeks ago.
The photos show the snow in Merribel, most of the way down the French Alps.
They show the weather, the sky, the peaks and slopes, fir trees and cafes.
This is our first holiday without our son, which was a bit strange. He’s leaving home in September and it gave him space to concentrate on his A levels and us a chance to relax with just the two of us.
We drove down France from the channel tunnel: about an 8 hour journey with breaks along route. We relied on our aging sat nav (2012 maps!) and google maps which got us all the way from home to the hotel.
Why?
I am very nervous about hurting myself on the mountains but I love the quiet of the mountain air and, if I’m honest, skiing itself. It’s so different to my everyday.
It’s partly why I’m keen to stay fit and healthy and why I use an electric vehicle where I can.
