Not long now. Just over 14 days and 8 hours at the time of writing. The office is awash with ideas. Suggestions for our next adventure: Everest Base Camp - Nepal (Distance: 74 miles); Inca Trail - Peru (Distance: 55 miles); Great Divide Trail - Canada (Distance: 745 miles); The Trafford Centre (Distance: 2.6 miles); The Eccles College Café (Distance: 60 yards if we go the long way round). We take a shortcut. "Steady on!", I exclaim. "Let's see how the Outward Bound® thing goes first." We 'did' Beijing in February this year and saw 'The Great Wall'. In February 2006, we hopped across to New York. Central Park covered in snow...lots and lots and lots of the white stuff. Magnificent. We plan to return in February 2008. Who says Business at Eccles is boring? I couldn't help noticing that one of the other departments had arranged a trip to Southport. No, not the one in Indiana, the one on the Irish Sea coast about 16 miles north of Liverpool in the UK. Southport. I ask you! I couldn't possibly name the department.
The picture was taken during the half-term visit to Outward Bound® Scotland (25 October). Our accommodation for the 'Teams and Leaders' course, a former shooting lodge set in its own extensive grounds on the foreshore of Loch Eil, was owned by the Chief of the Clan Cameron. We are lucky to be based in the Outdoor Capital of the UK.
