So, the snow in the Northern Hemisphere is giving way to green pastures in the Alps, so what's your plan?
I'm off back to Bad Gastein for my first proper summer holiday since buying there last year. I'll be checking out the mountain biking and climbing mostly. After that, i'm coming back here to get married! 
Where you going?

A weekend break for my birthday in June, location still to be decided, and 2 weeks in Monetier starting on 13th July, just in time for Bastille Day. We may fit in a day at LDA, as we have a free days skiiing to use up, and no doubt kids and hubby will hurl themselves down mountains on bikes.

I'm very very tempted to try some summer skiing in L2A if I can wangle enough time off work and persuade any mates to come with me. Oh, and if I can find some money

After that, it's up to the SO. We struck a deal that I get to call the winter holidays, and she gets to call the summer ones.

veeeight, why don't you come to the PSB this year??? Last year I couldn't do all the lessons requested anyway .... Sorry to be so sensitive, but after all these years of very hard work to persuade peeps that it's a good idea to ski in the summer (which seems to be working), and as, if any of us working in the summer are happy and surprised if we earn enough to pay our bills ......

We want to go somewhere mountainy, sunny and with plenty to do but very difficult to find anywhere at a reasonable price from Northern Ireland. I'll keep searching!! Would love to go to Zell am See as we could sail on the lake, and ski in the mountains at Kaprun

cathy, It's a short, easy one at not particularly high (relatively!) altitude, part of the Annapurna circuit between Kathmandu and Pokhara. It's the middle seven days of a two week 'cultural' guided trip - the guide is a Cambridge lecturer, an anthropologist who speaks various Himalayan tribal languages as well as fluent Nepali. Apparently we'll be staying one night (in Tatopani) in a lodge owned by his 'ritual brother.' I shall look forward to learning what that means! Can't wait, seeing the Himalayas has always been on my 'must do this before I die' list.

We'll be in Serre Che during the last two weeks in July, and we'll most certainly be heading up for a day's skiing at some point.

I'm planning...
A weekend in Paris - to try out the TGV - in June.
A weekend in Seaford - to reduce the EC wine lake - in July.
And then work the rest (or maybe take a day off here and there) - so that I can afford to go skiing next season.

Hurtle, sounds good! Especially the cultural side. I've done the Annapurna circuit and, before that, a shorter one week trek going up to Poon Hill from Pokhara and then round. Both times I just went with a friend and we did it by ourselves staying in lodges along the way. Great fun. Don't be fooled by the relatively easy altitude - there's a hell of a lot of ups and downs to go up & down! Although I suppose it was a bit worse for us as we had to carry our backpacks - hopefully you won't have to do that!

cathy, Thanks. No back packs, thank heaven! I think the cultural side should be fascinating and also, because the guide has lived in the area for long periods, the villages we stay in/explore in depth might not be the more obvious ones. Any tips about what to take - though the tour operator seems good and will surely offer advice as well - would be very welcome. I've never even been to that continent, let alone Nepal!

A weekend in Paris
|
Mind the dog poo! I went a couple of weeks ago and, whilst the city looked as beautiful as ever, you really had to look where you put your feet. And, because it was so hot while I was there, the whole place smelled accordingly. What ever happened to those little squirty, street cleaning cars they used to have in Paris?

Hurtle, well the Indian sub-continent is an experience! I found Nepal slightly better than India in terms of smells, hygiene & pestering. In terms of what to take we probably had different priorities to you, ie, as little as possible as we had to carry it, orange squash to mask the disgusting taste of iodine tablets in water, lightweight but warm sleeping bag - oh and don't forget the Immodium and rehydration pwders! It's also surprisingly warm/hot at the lower altitudes although temps do drop a lot at night - so a mix of layers to wear. And a hat. But I'm sure your tour operator will give you proper advice. Be sure to tell us all about it when you get back!
