  1. My weekend trip up to Durness and the far North was cancelled late
    Friday when I had a sudden kidney stone ! (NHS24 actually worked
    very well ! )
    BUT the weekend trip was off!

    So I have spent an hour this afternoon putting some pics of my recent
    Kilimanjaro trip ( plus some from Dartmoor) on Fotopic.

  2. Great pictures - bought back memories as I did Kili in '96.

    My own photographty was not as succesful as yours as the temperature on the
    summit
    affected the battery in the camera and I managed only one picture before
    the camera packed up!

    Thanks for letting us see them.

    Thanks, I have just flirted with digital photography and not yet
    mastered the art of enhancing the results so there are clearly some
    issues with colour, contrast etc that I am sure others could improve
    on. The pics are really just for my own enjoyment and sadly most of my
    winter ones are on film so I cannot share them here. Maybe this coming
    winter I will get some on the site

    Cheers

    That reminds me - how's Paula's nose? I can't imagine how
    painful that must have been. Yeoooowww.

    Hi Rudi
    yeah, the pic of Mawenzi came out well and resides as my wallpaper on
    the laptop, well pleased with the result ! all seems quiet with the
    stone so far so I hope I may have passed it ok. Going for an x-ray
    tomorrow to check ! Hoping to get out this Saturday to kind of make
    up for the "lost"weekend

    cheers

    Hi Fran,
    Paula's nose was seemingly more dramatic than it felt. She liberally
    applied "witch doctor" gel and natural Aloe Vera straight from the
    plant in the hotel gardens and the blackened dead skin fell away in a
    few days without any permanent damage. Her doctor advised not to
    expose to strong sun for about 12 months to prevent further damage so
    she is coming to Scotland this summer for her holiday instead of her
    usual hot spot !

    Thanks for asking and I will pass it on to Paula

    cheers

    Ooh, lucky, lucky Paula - she can get midged instead of
    sunburnt!

    Yes well done Graham, and I'm glad Fran asked the question I was a bit
    worried about the blackened nose.

    Good that Paula is OK.

    Regards and thanks.

    They tell me this can be a painful experience and I think you would have
    known if you had passed the stone. Have you had it bombarded with
    ultrasound?

    Bill

    Had an X-ray at the end of that week which confirmed stone had gone.
    GP is a personal friend and said that it could have been passed in the
    first 48 hours as I was getting some pain but drinking so much it just
    have flushed through. All well now though so thanks for asking

    cheers
