Great Weekend

I spent the last 4 days away from home. On Thursday I spent practically the whole day travelling, first by bus to Bp, then by train to Debrecen to attend a film showing and a meeting, finally back to Bp on the train. I was on the go from 7am to 11pm - a knackering day.

Friday I spent in Bp, mostly having a rest, reading my book and getting ready for the weekend. The highlight of the week was definitely the weekend. I spent it in the Bükk inspecting the terrain fo the Postas Kupa Trail-O and starting the planning. This weekend there was about 18 of us, mostly from the Postas club, inspecting the Start and Finish, checking the map and generally getting ready for the event in April. I got dragged along to confirm (or not) my willingness to plan it. As it happens, I did say yes, as the forest was gorgeous, especially covered in a foot of snow and it did turn out to be very technical, even though it did not look like it from the map.

We have done a great deal of good work. I worked with Laci and Koxi, but Jutka helped on Sunday as well. Both days were bright and sunny with no wind, but even like that we were pretty cold in 4-5C below zero. The pictures show 1) our accommodation, which was in a youth camp with very primitive conditions, but still OK; 2) and 3) the Finish field - with or without people in it and 4) Jutka coming off the mountain with some flags. I finished my Bryson book of Shakespeare, which was great and generally had a somewhat exhausting, but brilliant weekend.
