Advantages: Stunning scenery Disadvantages: Long flights
Trekked around the Torres Del Paine National park as part of "Trek Patagonia" a charity trek organised by Mencap. I had always wanted to visit Chile and was able to combine raising over £3,000 for Mencap with seeing one of the most beautiful areas of Southern Chile.
The park is a few hours drive from Punta Arenas which is one of the last stops before polar expeditions and the local wildlife includes penguins.The park is well organised with several camp areas and provision huts. We had local trek leaders with each group and all fitness levels were catered for. The trek to the 3 peaks was hampered by cloud, but the best part for me was a trek to the Grey Glacier. We sat and ate lunch facing the glacier watching chunks of ice thousands of years old dropping into the water- Magical.Glacial lakes and condors provided some of the views as we ...
Advantages: I'm sometimes bold Disadvantages: I'm often in italics too
Much as you were too polite to admit it, I'm sure that those of you who read my recent "Who Am I?" review were disappointed that I didn't disclose any intimate and embarrassing details, not consciously anyway. So to make up for any such disappointment (or dispel any consequent relief) here's an update of one I prepared earlier, with the addition of a few questions that have emerged in challenges since it was first written to bring it up to the full 57 varieties.
01. What time is it?
~ High time I stopped responding to challenges like this.
02. Name?
~ Duncan - my second name but the one by which I've always been known. torr to my offspring, and to Ciao.
03. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake?
~ Neither sure I had a cake nor whether it had candles on. Memory fades at my age, especially ...

Advantages: A Christmas cake's a scrumptious treat Disadvantages: Too rich with so much else to eat?
December's here. It's time to bake
Our annual family Christmas cake.
Some say it's best done months before,
But I'm pedantic; I deplore
Such early starts to Christmastide.
If it were my decision, I'd
Forbid the C-word to be used
Till Advent started; it's abused
As matters stand?.Enough, I'm ranting -
Instead, I'll go and start decanting
Some Christmas spirit from its bottle.
Thus fuelled and running on full throttle
I'll talk you through instructions for
Gateau à la mode du torr.
Ransack your larder first of all.
It's likely that among your haul
You'll find dried fruit, which often lurks
In shady corners (and it irks
A cook to find it aeons later,
Condemned to waste by "use by" data).
Assuming it's still "best before"
Weigh what you've got and buy some more
If there's too little. For a tin
Of seven inches ...
