Why bother walking in the mountains!
It is a fast descent! You'll miss the plants though :-\

Glad you're back safely Mark.
Just thought I might float a consultant joke:-
"A consultant is a man who knows 101 ways to make love but doesn’t know any women." :P

Nothing to do?
If you don't have anything pressing to do why not join on this 1 1/2 hours drive in the Norwegian mountains (and some fjords). The road is more than 100km. Parts of the road opened last week after winter closure.

"We are Luddites" - Peter George's article in RGQ 70 #1
Having just received the latest RGQ I was very interested to read the President's piece in the NARGS Bulletin Board.
Peter raises some interesting points and I'm reminded of something we were told when our (non-gardening) group was facing similar issues: the death of any group starts with seven words: "We've never done it that way before".
Although Peter asked for members to e-mail him their feedback I wondered if it would be appropriate to discuss it on the Forum.
In that case I just wanted to get the ball rolling.
cheers
