Rich and Gina have made it to Lands End from John o’ Groats. About 900 miles or so of cycling, mostly it seems in the rain. Anyway, we’ll blog the full story soon, until now have a look at this…

Oh, one more thing. If you’d like to give something to support, please, please, please click here. It’s for Oli’s Ski Fund which is a charity to help a young lad with Cerebral Palsy. We wrote about it here if you’d like to learn more.

Yes,  the sun’s out and i am the proud owner of a new clever phone that will enable us to get lots more pictures up here on the site.

Er, lucky you…

Yes, I am aware that sometimes I use this blog to yap on about giant statues of roses (thanks to Tom at CK for pointing out they’re not tulips). But this is more important.

Much more important.

Because Rich and Gina are doing something that is simultaneously daft and commendable and for charity – they’re cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End for a young lad called Oli who has Cerebral Palsy and is supported by the brilliant charity Cumbria Cerebral Palsy.

Well, they set off next week (so it’s probably going to start raining) and they need your support – so please visit their Facebook page and like it, and you can sponsor them by clicking here. Go on.

And please tell everyone you know.

Things are happening up on the mountain and it seems to involve helicopters a lot. Brilliant.

There’s a reason things have been quiet on the Verbier blog front. It’s because things have been quiet in Verbier full-stop. But now there are more humans in town and it’s all gearing up for summer season.

So The Powers That Be have decided it’s time to add some art. And they have clearly been watching Alice in Wonderland or listening to too much Velvet Underground, because this is what they’ve built.

Interesting eh?

I always say that no Mountain tourist destinantion is ever truly complete without a forty foot tulip.

Yup, Mike’s up there and destroying the old two man lifts (Combe and Mayentzet) and he’s sent us the evidence…
