Well, off at last. My trusty travelling companion, my big red MEC bag weighed in a comfortable 10% under the limit at 46lbs. Fortunately I will not be carrying all that on the trails. It includes clothes for the cold and wet (Sweden), presentable attire for visiting in the UK, and light weight clothes and camping supplies for hiking in Turkey. Three very different holidays really.
So now I have to get ready for change in time and temperature. 30 here today, 15 in Ayr tomorrow, then 10 in Kiruna.
I still have to get the hang of taking selfies. You will get one with a smile when I do.

Didn’t I get you a selfie stick for Christmas?

Yes you did. Did I think to bring it with me, no.

There’s a PM in Ottawa who could provide instruction on selfie technique. Especially the smiling part!
