Gregs Tour Divide Ramblings
So I decided to blog my whole Divide day by day while I was working on my photos

Long term plan is to go back to this - edit it - then combine it into a short publication. That will be a month or so off.
All of these were written in one sitting, with no editing to the words after I'd typed them (puke draft), so it can feel a bit raw in placed. But that was what I wanted, not a glossy happy shiny BS write up about how I found myself. The truth is far more interesting.
Enjoy.

Re: Gregs Tour Divide Ramblings
You're welcome Dave - still debating if I should edit to make less...well, sweary or not.
Re: Gregs Tour Divide Ramblings
Great read, I've also just sat and read them all much to my girlfriends annoyance as the dishes still aren't done!
Re: Gregs Tour Divide Ramblings
Thanks for the write up, I've just read all the posts over the evening and it was like a book i couldn't put down!
Again, well done for finishing.
