A poor year in terms of new Marilyns but a very productive period on other projects and challenges. The four new Marilyns were all climbed on Jura, which I visited in an incredibly settled spell of weather in April, also completing a two-day backpack along the sublimely wild west coast. The big trip of 2015 was to California and a hike along the John Muir Trail (another tick off the bucket list). Such is the popularity of this walk, particularly in the wake of the film 'Wild', that we had to hike the trail in a south-to-north direction (not the norm), starting at Mount Whitney and finishing near Yosemite after three glorious weeks.
Better go now as I have accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next visit to the toilet could spell disaster.
