Chimney Rock Climber's Log
SawtoothSean - Aug 17, 2015 5:42 pm Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2015Very fun
Long approach drive, but easy approach hike. Started at 2p. Went up and over Roothaan and to base of west side and climbed standard route. Great summit and did a non standard rap down to clean a bunch of gear left behind. Went up and over the north side of Roothann on way back.
Jakester - Jul 18, 2011 4:40 pm Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2011Standard Route
Tons of snow this season made this July hike a 99% snow slog. Camped on the ridge just below Roothaan. Scrambled up Roothaan in the morning then hiked the rest of the way to Chimney Rock. Always a fun climb.
Jakester - Jun 14, 2010 1:44 pm Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2010Standard Route
Couldn't drive all the way to the trail head because of too much snow. The entire approach was a snow slog, boot ski adventure. I had never been up there with so much snow. Very memorable. We were the first entries of the year in the summit log book.
Shano - Aug 23, 2009 10:18 pm Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2009?
not sure about the date... sometime in July.?.?...
Did the E.Priest approach. Wasn't feeling the love there.
The worst mosquito tornados I have ever experienced.
But the rock was great. Climbed just W.Face then bailed. Would like to go back for another go
Jakester - Aug 11, 2009 3:33 pm Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2009Rappel Chimney
Climbed a weird variation of the Rappel Chimney route. Super fun day trip, although very crowded. Left a #9 BD Nut.
Jakester - Aug 4, 2008 1:22 pm Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2008West Face - Standard Route
Backpacked in from the Pack River (East) side with three other friends. Bivy'd just below the West Face under clear skies. Climbed the next day in perfect weather and had a great time. We had the rock to our selves all day.
Spungdeeper - Sep 9, 2006 9:21 pm Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2006West Face Standard
Climbed the west face route. I lead the first two pitches and Ryan Kelly led the last 4th class pitch. There was some disagreement in the group about the ratings, but I feel that it isn't really harder than 5.3. With three of us there and a little hesitation on the 2nd pitch (Ryan took a while to be sure that he wasn't going to lead the pitch) it took us longer than it would had there only been two of us. It was my first multi-pitch trad in two years, but I felt confident and didn't succomb to some of the exposure dread that my rope mates did. I can't wait to get back there and the silver dollars and harrison peak.
spotly - Aug 18, 2006 4:20 am Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2006Standard West Side Route
Climbed early. 5.3? Sure. Nice rock on all 3 pitches with plenty of pro but a few goofy feeling moves. Bootied a brand new red tricam. Didn't stay long due to dark clouds. Hail hit us real hard as we climbed into the truck - perfect timing!
willow - Aug 3, 2006 11:25 pm Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2006It Ain't Hay
Awesome route! Climb in morning to stay out of sun. Had some trouble finding car on the way out since we went to the East Priest Lake Road / Indian Creek State Park "trailhead". The flagging is no longer present. I think I prefer the trail to the bushwacking, although the road was nicer to our car.
vertx - Jul 10, 2006 3:07 pmWest Face
Another beautiful day on Chimney Rock. This was my third trip in and it never gets old.
Martin Cash - Jul 25, 2004 6:28 pmRoute Climbed: It Ain't Hay to Fun Roof, Cooper Hiser Date Climbed: July 24, 2004
Chris and I started out in the shade in the morning on the west face, on It Ain't Hay. Chris lead the first pitch (5.9) which consisted of some really nice flake liebacking and jamming, to our sweet belay on top of a large detached flake. I lead the short second pitch (5.8) to the base of the Fun Roof. Chris lead the strenuous Fun Roof (10b) which was an amazing pitch! We went completely sideways under the huge roof.
In the afternoon the shade moved over to the east face. We headed over there and climbed the classic Cooper Hiser. This route has two very long pitches with some challenging climbing, then several possible third pitches. We exited via the South Nose route to the summit (5.9).
A great day!
Martin Cash - Jul 12, 2004 11:54 amRoute Climbed: Free Friends (1st Pitch), and Rappel Chimney Date Climbed: July 10, 2004
Free Friends was very nice. Must come back to do the rest of the route. Rappel Chimney was fun, moderate climbing.
What an amazing place! Probably the best granite anywhere in Washington or Idaho. Really stunning Yosemite quality crack climbing. I will be back, soon!
ghoulwe - Jul 6, 2004 8:21 amRoute Climbed: Standard West Face Route Date Climbed: July 3, 2004
Beautiful, fun route! Nice hike in with a couple of small snowfields left under the Roothan col. Summited in building weather and opted not to do a 2nd route - good choice, as it dumped on us on the way out. Tagged Roothan, in pelting hail on the hike back.
- Eric Barrett and Eddie Whittemore
willow - Jun 23, 2004 12:51 pmRoute Climbed: West Route Regular & Descent Chimney Date Climbed: 19 June 2004
Although perhaps not recomended, we did drive a honda prelude up to the trail head - carefully. Lots of snow on approach, beautiful weather, summited twice on Sat with Marc.
Moni - Nov 17, 2003 8:36 amRoute Climbed: West face Date Climbed: 1977
Have climbed this several times with Fred. Hey, what are belay slaves for?
vertx - Sep 28, 2003 9:17 pmRoute Climbed: Chimney Rappel/West Face/It aint Hay Date Climbed: August 2003
Camped just below the summit of Roothan and started in at 5:45am to get an early start. Did 3 routes in one day then all the way back the car. The walk out sucked after a long day of climbing, but not having another soul climbing on the rock that day made it worth it. Next time I am going to try something on the east side.
Sharon - Aug 31, 2003 11:30 pmRoute Climbed: West Face / Standard Route II, 5.3 Date Climbed: 1989-2001
Multiple ascents as noted below. Can't stay away. Did my first full-pitch lead here on 13 Sept. 1989.
3 September 1989; 13 Sept 1989; 20 Sept 1989; 3 Sept 1990; 4 July 1991; July 2001(?)- losing count!
Fred Spicker - Aug 20, 2003 11:31 amRoute Climbed: West Face & Rappel Chimney Date Climbed: Numerous
Summited 10 plus times between 1977 and 1996 with various friends and family. A great day trip from Spokane.

wow. I want to try this. And if you smear it on apples, it could be considered health-food, right?
Stephanie ODea said...
I would think so!
dabrah said...
It sounds absolutely wonderful. Maybe I can do this with one of the slices of brie that I've just ripened and frozen. Mmm... don't know where to get candied pecans from, would plain ones do? That would make it even more of a health-food, wouldn't it?
At first I thought "what the heck?" Then I looked down a few posts and want to whip out the old crockpot and make some of your yummy looking recipes. Keep up the good work!
Stephanie ODea said...
Hi canwemakeit (very cute name)!
dabrah, you can most certainly make it with regular pecans. If you opt for candied, melting a tad of butter with a bit of brown ugar to mix with the chopped pecans would candyify them perfectly.
Here is the invitation. Bring us brie. Blog looks great. :-)
Jennifer P. said...
I have made this little ditty before-- but all wrapped up in puff pastry dough. It is super yummy, but I don't think I'd have to hide it from my kids--somehow I don't think they'd be dying to get their hands on my french cheese with nuts and cranberries :)!
Can't wait to try this one!Thanks for sharing!
Unknown said...
Oh I wish I would have read this Saturday instead of today! Now I need an excuse to make this. . .and I have everything in my fridge!!! NUM, thanks!
*I think this would work perfectly in the smallest bowl!
Stacy said...
Oh that looks yummy, I may have to make that one soon. :)
I am living in MX without an oven, but with my trusty crockpot. I also have Celiac Disease. Having no oven and a craving for cornbread(Grew up in the South), I decided to make it in the crockpot. This is before I discovered your blog. It came out perfectly. I also made a fresh blackberry crisp (with quinoa flakes in place of oatmeal). It too was great. I have a large oval pot and doubled the recipe.
I roast my chicken in the Crockpot and stuff garlic, oranges, lemons, and whatever else I have inside. Thanks for your great blog.
Stephanie ODea said...
Dallasred, you are so very welcome! I'm glad to be somewhat helpful.
zippiknits.....sometimes said...
Your blog is a great inspiration to me. I keep flogging the cook, a retured DH, to make some of these delicious things. He forgets, I flog... Someday soon I hope he will gather it all, including his wits, and go for it.
Unknown said...
I don't know if this is a stupid question or not. I made this a couple days ago and the hard ends of the cheese didn't melt, so I was wondering if I am supposed to cut part of the cheese off before I melt it? It was very good other than the slight weirdness of the hard cheese pieces.
Stephanie ODea said...
Hi Sunnie,
when I made it (a few times now, it's one of our favorites!) the outer rind of the brie doesn't fully melt, either. I like it like that, but I can see how some may not. You absolutely can try to peel the rind off if you prefer it that way.
Stephanie ODea said...
Hi Sunnie! I JUST tonight made a round brie dish (brie with apricots and brown sugar) and you are right.
If you buy the packaged round brie, it has a VERY thick and hard rind. I've not come across that before, because I've always used the fresh brie from Trader Joe's. I would definitely (from now on!) cut the very top part of the rind off before adding the topping to the crockpot.
The rind from the Trader Joe's brie is nowhere near as thick and softens enough to eat.
I'm sorry to have led you astray!
tgillock said...
Oh wow!! I just found your blog and I am in love with you. hehehe. Kidding. I LOVE Brie and this sounds so flipping good!!!! I will be reading this from now on, since the year is almost out.
Unknown said...
Thanks Stephanie! I am looking forward to trying this recipe again and also the new one with apricots and brown sugar! I wish we had a Trader Joe's near where I live, but the closest one is about an hour away. Alas, I will have to continue trimming the rind. Thanks again for your help!
Unknown said...
This was a major hit at the office Christmas lunch!! FOUR people asked for the recipe!
Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

Happy birthday to my sister, Zia. We attended mass at Mt. Carmel at noon, went straight to The Cafe Mediterranean for lunch and ate dinner at The Flying Pig at Eastwood. I will post photos--unwatermarked because I get lazy these days.
Family photo. Wish you were here, Ahya. We miss you terribly, especially during times like these.
The birthday girl responding to her many text greetings. Yes, I have witnessed it. 14 messages all at once for the first batch and them some more on the next ones.
My new pair, don't you love it? I plan on getting all colors. Hmm. I can't wait to wear it with my soon-to-purchase acid wash jeans!
This is what I wore today. Floral top from Mango, Harem Johphur pants from Zara (the black version of my gray ones seen below), worn-out belt, Louis Vuitton Neverfull, and sandals.
I have read some of the questions sent today. I love how you guys appreciate my previous post. I can't wait to answer them. Keep 'em coming!

It is way past my bedtime but I felt the need to put this up. Have you seen Phoebe in Wonderland? It is a great film--it made me cry enough to fill a pail.
"At a certain part in your life. Probably when too much of it has gone by. You will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself, "But I am this person." And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love." -- Miss Dodger, Phoebe in Wonderland.
Have you ever pictured yourself 50 years from now? I think that will be time when you can say Miss Dodger's lines by heart.

Hello! I just wanna say that I appreciate you asking questions! I was not expecting any questions today, or any day at all, but surprisingly I have received them. Thank you again. I am just waiting for them to pile up until at least 15 so that I could answer them and post them here. I am itching to answer though! Keep them coming! Again, you will remain anonymous as no email would be required--I deleted that requirement. :-)
I am OLSEN-fied today.

My take: I wore this to school today.
Forgive me, I do not think I've given her outfit enough justice, but, hey, I tried. Well, minus the shopping bags.
On a lighter note, I am able to Tweet and Plurk anytime/anywhere. I LOVE IT. Yes, even without WiFi. :-)
Did I say THANK YOU for the questions?

I put up a section where you can ask me about anything -- scroll down, right corner. Hit me up a question, don't worry you will remain anonymous as no email would be required. Someone said that it would be a good idea so let's see. I already have 5 questions since I put this up earlier this afternoon. Woohoo. I'm just waiting it to hit around 20 so that I could answer already.
Please do not pollute the air. I have been meaning to forget you.

Will definitely make your heart ache and stomach churn in all possible ways. I got this from my friend, Denise.
I downloaded so many albums. Jack Johnson, India.Arie, among others. And yes, I downloaded Sara Bareilles' too. I am currently listening to her song Vegas. I love it.

Oh My Jesus Christ. Watching Chelsea Lately at the moment. Michelle Trachtenberg is so gorgeous! I'd die with her outfit. Okay. Kicked Harley out of my room because he had tons of things in his mouth: wood (from JC knows here), tissue paper (that he makes sure he scatters all over the room), Q-tips, and my Hello Kitty trash bin. He is outside now and is barking. I'll go get him.

So, the usual Monday Lunch at Eastwood has been postponed. TWICE. But it is well. Raincheck on a Friday is even better -- great food, great company.
RSF Toni, Me, and Diane
Shai, Eleu and AJ
This is me TRYING my best to sport Jane Aldrige's outfit, top and visible bra. OKAY.
What can I say, I am blessed with wonderful friends that know me all to well ("Ooh, PURPLE... BUTTERFLIES..." -- Shai's best imitation of me, but in my defense this was in HIGHSCHOOL). So well, that even our laughs, we get to imitate. AH-HA-HA-HA (Shai's laugh, the winner laugh of the night). Intensity, intensity -- I am talking about the pep talk.
Harley turned 4 months yesterday and I am a proud Momma. He has gotten so big -- gaining .5 kg every two weeks. He has kissed me one too many times on the lips. And, oh, he licks by default.

Quick entry before I leave with Mom. Pulled this shirt out of my closet-I forgot I had it. It is beyond amazing, perfect for the rainy weather. The gold sailor buttons are to die for and my topknot's implication is that it did not take me an hour to get ready for the shopping spree that's gonna happen in an hour! Weehoo! I am so happy. Wasn't able to take a decent photo of my black leather fringe bag, my apologies.
Cheerios, Chicas!

What can I say? I am out of words--everything is just delicious! Number 1 is just beyond amazing, the dress is just spectacular, and the topknot is just genius. I will try my very best to get everything here TOMORROW because Mom and I will go shopping at Shangri-La. Do I hear a SALE? If I don't, I will probably drive over to Baguio and go Ukay-ukay. After all, I am the Queen of Thrift.

I am so excited to see the Henneh Montene Movie tomorrow with 1/8 of BC girls at Eastwood Cinema tomorrow! Crazy schedule though. We're hoping to catch the 2 to 3 pm show. Goodluck to us. I can just imagine the hoard of little girls (and boys, too?) getting in line with their mommies and ALSO I am anticipating how they hog the screen.
Hoping to get a Henneh Montene shirt! HA HA HA.
And give it to Ling and Gela.

I get it, the King of Pop passed and it is in everybody's right to mourn. But what is up with the headlines about the tragedy of his death and the sudden top-notching songs of his. When he was still living, all he got was sheer judgements paired up with hasty generalizations. Way to pump up the old habits, huh? By suddenly praising him in all his glory. Just saying. And pure observation. Let him have his happiness and that does not include SUDDENLY downloading his music and PRETEND he is your idol. Give me a break.
I have been rotting at home and bought some cool stash from Metrowalk. I am going back with my sibling tomorrow morning because apparently, a movie sells for P40 a piece. Not bad for my pocket (or my parents' rather) but bad for the entertainment industry. The photo below would show it.
PrEncess Protection Progran. Yikes! Fail! I slept halfway through the movie and decided to give it another shot. It was cutesy patootsey. I will hand them to my niece, Daniella tomorrow. I have also seen Fired Up, which made me miss cheerleading terribly and Table For Three. Jeez, with due respect to Sophia Bush (whose character in the hit Television Series, One Tree Hill, makes me want to find my own Lucas Scott), I caved. I was frustrated with her character in the movie. I have also been watching Smallville. All because of my long-time crush, Tom Welling. So long I have been crushing on him, I remember declaring my love for him nationally and probably, internationally, if you count the Candy issues that my relatives abroad bought. Who inspires you (Candy Magazine asks in 2004): "My family and Tom Welling". Jesus Christ!
I will try my very best to update this. I know, I know, I have been saying this everytime I post a new entry. But this one is real. I just have not found anything interesting to blog about. Big thanks to those who visit my blog. Thank you. :-)

People can be so apathetic sometimes—well, most of the time. Along Wilson, I saw an old man carrying a brown folder; the white shirt he was wearing, almost worn-out. I noticed how he stopped abruptly, holding his stomach and holding what seemed like the pain he was feeling. Right there along the sidewalk, he stopped. There were passersby, cars even. He walked a few steps and stopped. Again, holding his stomach. But this time he leaned forward. I can imagine how much pain he was feeling. There were many passersby, cars even. No one stopped to help him. I cannot stomach how people did not even help, let alone ask if he was okay. Not one car rolled down their windows to ask.
Neither did I.
Tatang, my driver said, it is the responsibility of the government to help these people. I could not agree more. But we have to accept that the government cannot stand alone. Most of us have accepted that the government cannot (and will not, point taken) fulfill its responsibilities. So what (or who) are we left with?
Not one person stopped. Not one car rolled down their windows.
Neither did I.
Green light went on as I watch the old man suffer—that's when I realized that sidemirrors are not that helpful when driving, it was a very devastating sight.

Hello, how are you? It has been too long, I apologize.
Anyway, I decided to click on the Bookmarks section on my MacBook (Wee, I feel so powerful typing that in. Lol.) and visited my favorite websites. Good news, one and all. I have found the picture that would best explain the HIDE AND SEEK I have as a tagline in most of my social network page and also here, in my blog.
I got it here. What do you think?
I got a call from my good friend, who has been long-lost since the 1980s--I exaggerate. Marc Law, in our 1-hour conversation via mobile, said that a relationship does not turn out right or what we perceive to be "right" because the GUY did not make/do the right approach. Or in my take, manifest the right moves. The right approach, I do not know, not even the slightest bit of idea. The right moves, I dare not cave.
This one, which I got here, screams CAROUSELAMBRA. I would kill for the hair, the sunglasses (which I think is very Osborne meets Larger Than Life), the jacket, oooh the jacket!
Mondays are for the cool people, as Shai, my very good friend puts it. After class, I drive to Eastwood to have lunch with my friends. We have been doing this for two Mondays now and hopefully, all other Mondays to come.
Cheerios, Papitos.
Follow me on Twitter!
Hope you'd fill in my chatbox with comments so that I gain the inspiration to blog religiously. Just a simple HI would do. Mwa!

Understanding the Human Cost of Imprisonment
The problem is not just that "prison conditions" are abusive, but that the cumulative effects of imprisonment itself constitute cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.
From Truth Out/ By Lacino Hamilton
No one who spends time in prison leaves unscathed. I have been incarcerated for more than 20 years in Michigan state prisons, where I remain today. I know from experience that prison is so much more than confinement to a cell.
Prison disposes of and makes invisible a growing underclass, prison's majority clientele. It also incapacitates those who have shown – through their imagination, audacity and defiance – that they possess what it takes to push and pull something bigger than themselves, such as a social justice movement. Prison functions to expel self-determination, exacerbate weaknesses, exhaust strength and suppress expressions of intelligence, in an aim to produce a robot-like mass that will follow the rules of prison.
It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have been subordinated to the will of others; reduced to dependence on these authorities for the most basic services; isolated from the rest of the world's population; confined to a fixed habitat; coerced to work for little or no compensation; and subjected to a prison culture that breeds a profound sense of psychological depression, personal worthlessness and social despair – all in the name of justice, law and order, or whatever justification is fashionable at the time.

Gaming visionary Gary Gygax, co-creator of the Dungeons and Dragons universe, passed away on Tuesday, March 4th, 2008. He was 69. Gygax is credited as the father of role-playing games (RPGs), but D&D's influence has permeated almost every genre of gaming since it was first published in 1974. Perhaps what's most remarkable about the game is that, in its basic form, D&D is only a set of rules and suggestions. The creative aspects of the game are left in the hands of the players. With only a few multi-sided dice, a pencil, and some graph paper, D&D players devise fantastic worlds, develop complex characters, and engage in dynamic group experiences. The imaginative agency provided by the game and its participatory nature may be its greatest contribution to the foundations of contemporary game design. Video games have been particularly inspired by D&D, as many of the designers and coders behind some of the most important titles in video game history grew up rolling a 20-sided die. It's hard to imagine the existence of Richard Allen Garriott's Ultima series, Hironobu Sakaguchi and Yoshitaka Amano's Final Fantasy series, or Blizzard's World of Warcraft without the game play mechanics established in D&D. Even the internet itself owes a little bit to Gygax. From late-70's MUDs to the massively multiplayer online games of today, the development of networked, D&D influenced RPGs has both paralleled and pushed the development of the web towards creativity and collaboration. Artists such as Brody Condon have translated the form of role-playing to the gallery. For Untitled War (2004), Condon invited twelve warriors to fight until their "death" at the Los Angeles space Machine Project. The taxing two hour long performance, accompanied by the music of the Winks, is an absurd and playful commentary on the slippage between reality and fantasy proposed by legendary games such as D&D. Fittingly, avatar-filled Gygax tributes have been occurring all week within many of these online game worlds, including D&D online. - Nick Hasty

Where Do We Stand?
A willingness to invest in manufacturing technology may determine our place in the world.
"A healthy domestic machine tool industry is vital to national security and prosperity."
A summary of the annual World Machine Tool Output & Consumption Survey appears in the April 2011 issue of MODERN MACHINE SHOP. No piece of research from MMS publisher Gardner Publications is cited more frequently than this one, mainly because it compiles reliable figures about the global machine tool industry in a historical context. Joe Jablonowski's analysis of the results is insightful, too.
Joe, editor and publisher of the Metalworking Insider's Report, has years of involvement with conducting this survey and presenting the findings. His comments about the remarkable rise of China as both a producer and a consumer of machines grab attention. From a global perspective, it would be hard to miss the significance of this development.
However, the most important figures for U.S. readers are those related to the consumption of machine tools in this country. Broadly speaking, "machine tool consumption" is a good indicator of a nation's willingness to invest in manufacturing technology. It signals whether manufacturing is growing or declining. As Joe notes, U.S. consumption in 2010 was down overall from 2009 but has picked up sharply since IMTS 2010. If the United States moves up in the ranks as a consumer in 2011 (we were in sixth place for 2010), that would indeed mark resurgence of U.S. manufacturing. This figure, then, is the one to watch.
Nevertheless, I tend to be a bit preoccupied with machine tool production figures. A ranking of countries according to the dollar value of machine tool production can be found at gardnerweb.com/consump/survey.html. In 2010, the United States slipped to eighth place, continuing a slide in ranking that began more than a decade ago.
One industry observer who worries about this decline is Albert B. Albrecht, author of the book, The American Machine Tool Industry—Its History, Growth & Decline. I became friends with Al a few years ago, when his book was first published. He's been associated with machine tool manufacturing for almost 60 years. A major theme of his book, now in its second edition, is that a healthy domestic machine tool industry is vital to national security and prosperity. This view is not held as widely as it once was.
Al and I spoke about the industry over lunch recently, and he shared an article he had written about the prospects of the United States returning to its place as a leading world producer of machine tools. The article outlines the steps he thinks are necessary for the United States to increase its position in world markets. Although I don't entirely share his concern about America's dependence on manufacturing technology from foreign countries, I agree with this important comment: "Other nations appear to have a better understanding of the value of manufacturing and the importance of the machine tool industry that supports it."

By Jörgen Johansson
This is a slightly revised version of an article that has been published in Swedish before here at Fjäderlätt.
If you have children you have more to gain than most by adopting lightpacking techniques. As a parents you do not have to forfeit backpacking, but can bring the kids on outings that can become a source of joy for them for the rest of their lives. However, giving advice on backpacking with kids is not that easy. And that probably explains why some advice is a bit confusing.
Those who have read my book "Hike Featherlight" (Vandra Fjäderlätt) will recognize many of the following thoughts. But please note that my advice is just advice. A help for you to reflect and make your own decisions. I do not have complete knowledge of all situations and all ages and of course, not of all children. But the key message remains, with the help of lightpacking principles backpacking with kids will make the burdens for the parents a whole lot more than manageable.
How much can children carry?
The question depends, of course, on many factors with regard to age, strength, and hiking experience. But generally, you must of course adapt the walk so that you do not go beyond what kids think is OK and can cope with. Which does not necessarily mean that we should not encourage them to push their own boundaries and get out of their comfort zones - within reasonable limits.
Basically you do of course apply the same ideas for the childrens gear as for your own, when it comes to lowering the weight. You start out with the three big ones, which is where you can save most. This article explains the 3 for 3 method.
Let us try to find some way of calculating packweight for kids. A classic rule of thumb for adults when it comes to backpacking is that you should not carry more than a third of your body weight. But to carry that much of your body weight in a pack is not to be recommended, on the contrary. This is thus the upper limit according to the old adage. A quarter of your body weight is more to be recommended as a maximum weight if you want to be able to enjoy your surroundings as well. Needless to say this is far from what I call lightpacking and unnecessarily heavy. But let us start by looking at the consequences of these old rules of thumb.
The mother that weighs, let's say 57 kilos, should not carry more than 19 kilos in her pack and the father (75 kilos) should not carry more than 25 kilos. So far so good. Or bad.
But little David who weighs 21 kilos should preferably carry no more than seven kilos, and for Lisa, who weighs 39 kilos a maximum is 13 kilos of packweight. This is when the absolute maximum, under the old rules. If the parents also want the children to come on another hike ever, they should not carry more than a quarter of their respective body weights. David then will carry up to five kilos and Lisa ten. All this dependent on that the old rule of thumb also applies to children of their age, which is doubtful. But we have at least set some ground rules for our planning.
What equipment is needed?
The problem is that with traditional outdoor equipment the stuff that David and Lisa have to carry is not that much lighter than mom's and dad's, even though children are smaller in stature and can carry less. Both children need backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, rain gear, extra clothing and so on. And they do in fact eat as well. Something that very quickly means that David's and Lisa's maximum packweights are attained. And the slack is of course by necessity taken up by mom and dad. Meaning that not only are their maximum packweight reached, but left way behind.
This can easily lead to parents staying at home instead of doing what they would wish; bringing their children on overnight backpacking trips. Or perhaps you walk between the huts, which definitely is not a bad solution. Apart from that you would actually like to be in a tent, both for its own sake and to show the children how wonderful life can be on a walk beyond the beaten track.
For the lightpacker it is probably obvious that much of the above can be overcome by applying the philosophy and techniques for lightpacking to children and their gear. Lightpacking truly opens up new opportunities for families to walk light and far without neither the children nor the parents break down and cry.
How do you do this?
Let us, as always, start where it counts and look at the big 3, the heaviest objects in the packs, and see what we can do.
In my expericence (kids 7-15 years old) you can let them carry all their personal equipment, providing you pick light gear. Personal gear is pack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, rain gear, warm jacket/sweater, extra socks and long underwear, spoon, eating bowl and cup. This does not need to weigh more than 4-5 kilos, meaning that kids that weigh around 20 kilos should be able to carry this (according to the old rules). In my mind 25% of body weight is too much for anyone, and I recommend 10-20%. So if the personal gear exceeds this limit mum and dad will have to step in. Which is not such a big chore if you have picked few and light pieces of gear for your kids.
On a 5-7 days hike with food for the kids weighing 500-1000 grams per day this means that their packs will weigh 7-12 kilos or so, if the kids carry all their own food (or the equivalent weight). Kids from about 40 kilos and upwards should then be able to carry their own gear and food. As they grow bigger they can also start to carry some of the community gear that so far have rested in the parents packs.
To the top of Sweden?
I will illustrate this somewhat theoretical prologue with how this turned out in real life a couple of years ago. It all stared with my son Jakob wanting to climb to the summit of Kebnekaise, the highest Swedish mountain at some 2100 meters. After some careful questioning it was clear that he also saw Dad as part of this endeavor. I sighed quietly with joy and the planning began during the winter. I will tell the whole story in an upcoming article.

PORTSMOUTH — While thousands of visitors will take a festive walk through the grounds of the Strawbery Banke Museum during the next few weeks, staff and volunteers there will be judging dozens of carefully constructed gingerbread houses on display.
About 40 houses have been entered into his year's competition, along the Candlelight Stroll, according to Sarah Regan, a member of the education staff and woman in charge of the gingerbread houses.
The scent of gingerbread wafted through the Tyco Visitors Center and the Howells Lecture Hall where the decadent structures were being arranged on Wednesday.
"There's a lot of fun and different ones," Regan said.
She was busy setting up the houses, some illuminated, and arranging what will be a "Winter Wonderland" by the weekend when the Candlelight Stroll kicks off.
While many of the gingerbread houses had a traditional look, there were some that stood out with unique and unorthodox themes, though most were holiday or winter themed.
Santa's lunchbox, for example, was just that — a square shaped structure that included carrots and apple slices for Santa's reindeer and a note for Santa from Mrs. Claus.
At another table, a SpongeBob themed gingerbread house, made by Berwick, Maine Girl Scout Troop 229, was created with an under-the-sea theme complete with a gingerbread pineapple.
Regan said there was at least one entrant who dropped off their creation and said they had looked through children's books with their grandchildren for inspiration.
"It's fun because you see the families," she said.
Some gingerbread artists take lots of time brainstorming for a theme and the right materials to use, while others, Regan said make a simpler version that takes less time but create some family memories in the process.
Each entry completed a form listing ingredients used for the creation. Other than the base and a lighting device, if needed, all items used to make the gingerbread houses were required to be edible.
This is Regans fourth year organizing the event and she said what she loves most is the change between how things look when gingerbread contestants drop off the houses and when the Candlelight Stroll invites guests into candy and frosting filled room.
Part of what she's grown to love over the years is seeing returning gingerbread house makers.
"Some of them come in and I can remember what they made the year before," she said.
One entry was a child's recreation of Candyland — a Christmas version; Another, a yellow VW bus, and a colorful "Happy Holidays" constructed by Stratham Girl Scout Troop 10228.
"Seeing them walking in and seeing their faces when they come in (is the best part)," she said.
Three categories will be judged by the last Stroll weekend, Dec. 15 and 16: adult; family, which includes entries made by children either with or without the help of an adult; and youth, which includes children's groups such as boy scout or girl scouts troops.
A ribbon will go to each winner and prizes, which are not yet determined for this ear, will go to winners of each category as well.
Usually, Regan said, prizes are an adult or family membership to the museum or a book related to the museum and its history for children.
The Gingerbread Houses can be seen Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1 and 2, Dec 8 and 9, and Dec. 15 and 16. The event will run from 5 until 9 p.m. on Saturdays and from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $20 for adults; $10 for children ages five to 17; $50 for families, two adults and children ages 17 and under; and children four years old and younger are free.
Edible abode: Dozens of gingerbread houses on display in Portsmouth

Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo career.
- I can be. I do not normally try to be. In fact, there have been some reviews—which I've loved—that said I didn't try to sell my show on sex, that I sang my show. On the other hand, I know I'm cute. I can dance. I don't have a bad figure. I know exactly what I am. I'm certainly no great beauty. I know exactly how far I can go.

- I phoned Prince out of the blue, hummed a melody, and he listened," … "I hung up, and he came over within the hour. He listened again, and I said, 'Do you hate it?' He said, 'No,' and walked over to the synthesizers that were set up, was absolutely brilliant for about twenty five minutes, and then left. He was so uncanny, so wild, he spoiled me for every band I've ever had because nobody can exactly re-create—not even with two piano players-what Prince did all by his little self.

- I met Lindsey in high school in San Francisco. We had gone to some party and he was sitting in the middle of this gorgeous living room playing a song. I walked over and stood next to him, and the song was "California Dreaming," and I just started singing with him. And so I just threw in my Michelle Phillips harmony, and he was so beautiful. And then I didn't really see him again until two years later, when he called me and asked me if I wanted to be in his rock 'n' roll band, which I didn't even know existed. And within two or three months we were opening for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, all the San Francisco bands. Two years later, we packed up and moved to Los Angeles with about 12 demos.

Song LyricsEdit
Fleetwood Mac (1976)Edit
- She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
- Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
The Dance (Fleetwood Mac album) (1997)Edit
- I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me, no
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know.
Rumours (1977)Edit
- Thunder only happens when it's raining,
Players only love you when they're playing,
Say, women, they will come and they will go,
When the rain washes you clean you'll know.
- I don't want to know the reasons why,
Love keeps right on walking down the line.
- Well, did she make you cry,
Make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love?
Bella Donna (album) (1981)Edit
- The clouds, never expect it,
When it rains
But the sea changes color,
But the sea does not change
And so with the slow graceful
Flow of age, I went forth with an,
Age old desire to please,
On the edge of seventeen.
- Is love so fragile,
And the heart so hollow,
Shatter with words,
Impossible to follow,
You're saying I'm fragile, I try not to be,
I search only, for something I can't see.
The Wild Heart (1983)Edit
- No one knows how I feel,
What I say unless you read between my lines,
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand, take me home.
Rock a Little (1985)Edit
- A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect.
Quotes about NicksEdit
- Stevie Nicks is the high priestess of her own religion, ruling a world of prancing Gypsies, gold-dust princesses, and white-winged doves, all without going anywhere near a sensible shoe. Like David Bowie or Bryan Ferry, she has spent a career turning her private fantasies into an elaborate pop mythology.
- Kia Brackett and Christian David Hoard, The New Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), ISBN 9780743201698, p. 585.
- Witchcraft became part of the rock sensibility in the '70s, when Stevie Nicks twirled onstage swathed in scarves, bathed in incense smoke, and illuminated by hundreds of candles.
- Maureen Callahan and Kim France, "Girls!", SPIN, Vol. 13, No. 8 (November 1997), p. 92.
- Stevie bridges the gap between the powerful rock singers of the sixties, like Janis Joplin and Grace Slick, and what's going on today.
- Sheryl Crow, as quoted in Laura Furman, Rumours Exposed (2003: Citadel Press), ISBN 9780806524726, p. 5
- She had a huge influence on everybody, whether they admit it or not.
- Courtney Love, as quoted in Laura Furman, Rumours Exposed (2003: Citadel Press), ISBN 9780806524726, p. 5

Europe's dry soils seen from space
The trend of below-average rainfall across Europe has continued into the first months of 2012. ESA's SMOS water mission has revealed the negative consequences of this recent bout of 'good' weather.
Western Europe is experiencing a severe lack of water because of this trend. Concern about the deficit of water is rising across European countries and their respective water agencies, in particular in Spain, France, Germany and the UK.
The absence of sufficient water resources threatens crops, which in turn increases food prices and can cause a shortage of drinking water or affect industry by drying up shipping routes.
Autumn saw particularly dry weather, disrupting shipping in the Rhine and Elbe rivers, and even sparking a forest fire in Bavaria.
The trend of low precipitation in Europe continued into the first months of 2012, reflected in readings from ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission.
Launched in 2009, SMOS looks at microwave radiation emitted from Earth to calculate the amount of moisture held in the surface layer of soil, up to a depth of about 5 cm.
The data from SMOS show the difference in soil moisture between February 2011 and 2012 across Europe. Low water content in the soil is especially pronounced in Spain, France and the UK.
The information is particularly important for a better understanding of the water cycle and the exchange processes between Earth's surface and the atmosphere.
SMOS acquires its measurements at a resolution of 50 km per pixel – though for some applications, a higher resolution is desirable.
Combining SMOS observations with the high-resolution data on vegetation and land surface temperature, soil moisture maps at a spatial resolution of 1 km can be created. Experimental high-resolution soil moisture maps over the Iberian Peninsula are already available at the SMOS Barcelona Expert Centre web server.
Information on soil moisture at such a high resolution can be used in applications like the evaluation of soil water content for agriculture management.
Under conditions of extreme drought, the maps can help to locate specific areas at high risk of fire by combining the knowledge of soil moisture with other satellite data and forecasts of air temperature and wind intensity.

Tony Lechmanski: "My favorite road? That hit me off guard. I don't really know a whole lot of roads in Charlottesville. My favorite would be where I grew up in California, a kind of ghetto area called Violin Canyon Road."
Gopal Metro: "Road?! I don't actually know the number, but it's out 250 West, and it's a crazy, winding roller-coaster road that goes under bridges, over bridges, and through the woods."
Andy Deane: "Well, huh... I'm trying to think. My initial reaction is Blenheim Avenue, because that's where I grew up. If I come up with something more clever, I'll give you a call."

Clinton Campaign On Alert For Undercover Conservative Sting
Hillary Clinton's campaign offices around the country have been put on alert after at least two women approached Iowa staff under the guise of being supporters in an apparent effort to catch the campaign engaging in improper or illegal activity, a Clinton campaign official said.
New Campaign For Accountability
IndictBreitbart.org is a new campaign to seek accountability for the violations of criminal law committed by Andrew Breitbart, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles. O'Keefe and Giles illegally and surreptitiously recorded employees of the Baltimore ACORN office in the summer of 2009 and then their employer Breitbart illegally published their edited versions online in order to harm ACORN. This is a grassroots campaign to let law enforcement officials in Maryland know that ordinary citizens want accountability.
Since that illegal conduct occurred, numerous official reports have come out showing that O'Keefe, Giles and Breitbart acted illegally/unethically with regard to their ACORN recordings. Those reports are listed here. Also, James O'Keefe has been arrested and convicted for tampering with the phones in Senator Mary Landrieu's office, and he is under investigation for attempting to lure a CNN reporter on to a boat in Maryland for nefarious purposes. Andrew Breitbart was responsible for posting an edited recording of Department of Agriculture employee Shirley Sherrod which resulted in her improper firing. A subsequent investigation determined that she did nothing wrong and should be reinstated.
You can help hold these people accountable for violating Maryland law by signing this letter to Gregg Bernstein, the new Baltimore State's Attorney.

Young Progressive Voices: Audio Emerges Proving Secret Conservative Organization Behind Benghazi "Scandal"
-by Justin Acuff
Crooks & Liars: Groundswell Group Stoked Scandals with Help From GOP Leaders
-By Karoli
July 30, 2013- When David Corn broke the Groundswell story last week, the general reaction among the politerati was a shrug and a giggle. Even influential NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen called it "no big deal."
Mother Jones: Groundswell's Secret Crusade to Crush Karl Rove
Ginni Thomas and her conservative allies have launched a stealth attack on the GOP's top strategist.
-By David Corn
July 25, 2013- Groundswell, the recently created coalition of prominent right-wing activists and journalists, gathers weekly to coordinate messaging and plot strategy for "a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation." These sessions usually fixate on how best to battle the president, congressional Democrats, and progressive groups. But their 30-front war also includes something of a civil war: a fierce crusade against the Republican establishment and Karl Rove, the GOP strategist and Fox News pundit.
Mother Jones: Inside Groundswell: Read the Memos of the New Right-Wing Strategy Group Planning a "30 Front War"
-By David Corn
July 25, 2013- Believing they are losing the messaging war with progressives, a group of prominent conservatives in Washington—including the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and journalists from Breitbart News and the Washington Examiner—has been meeting privately since early this year to concoct talking points, coordinate messaging, and hatch plans for "a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation," according to documents obtained by Mother Jones.
James O'Keefe death rumors are a hoax.
If you've heard any rumors about conservative weasel James O'Keefe dying in an attempt to sexually molest a horse, the source is the Teabilly parody site below:
As far as anyone knows, O'Keefe is still alive and well, and will probably crawl out from under his rock again soon...

Three dining experiences every foodie must try before they die
Aussie millennials are deciding their next travel destination based on the delicious food available once they unpack and hit the streets, according to research from Hotels.com.
The Tasty Travels report revealed over two thirds (69 per cent) of young Aussie travellers consider a destinations cuisine the most influential factor when planning a trip, and 76 per cent admitted foodie experiences stand out the most in their holiday memories.
Hotels.com Marketing Manager for Australia and New Zealand, David Spasovic says understandable Aussie millennials are defining their holidays by what they can eat and where they eat it.
"Young Aussies love coming together over meals, and as the universal language of love and life, food is one of the most connective and rewarding currencies when travelling" he says.
So where are these food-fanatic travellers heading?
Paris (27 per cent), Tokyo (23 per cent) and Rome (22 per cent) topped the list as the hottest destinations for foodies, according to the research.
Here are three dining experiences every millenial foodie must try before they die.
L'Eclair de Genie – Paris
Translating to 'genius éclair', L'Eclair de Genie really does live up to its name. Located in the historic aristocratic district of Le Marais, this dessert cafe has a sweet-tooth's dream range of over 257 éclairs, famous for their intricate designs and unique flavours – such as salted caramel and mascarapone cream, lemon yuzu cream and crispy meringue, and even matcha cream and white chocolate.
Although an éclair is one of the most classic French pastries and can be picked up at pretty much every French bakery around, Le'Eclair de Genie is the spot for foodies on the hunt for something a little extra.
Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko – Japan
Two things you think of when planning a trip to Japan – the mouth-watering food, and Mt Fuji. Both are revered, so why not experience them at the same time for a double-whammy of Japan's finest.
Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko, nestled at the base of Japan's impressive tallest peak, is renowned for the region's traditional hoto noodles – a hot pot style dish packed full of thick flour noodles and vegies in a miso-based soup.
Guests can kick back with an Asahi and warm their bellies with a bowl of hoto or any other favourites from the menu after a day of exploring the mountain, taking in its sublime presence from their table.
Pigneto Quarantuno – Rome
Located in Rome's easternmost corner, Pigneto is a lively, pedestrian-only thoroughfare filled with pizzerias, cafes and music venues that will make any foodie never want to leave. When exploring Pigneto, dining at Pigneto Quarantuno is a huge must.
There's an extensive menu brimming with Italian classics, however Cacio e Pepe is the dish to pick for travellers wanting to experience an authentic Roman meal. Cacio e Pepe means 'cheese and pepper' and it's literally just as simple as that – a tasty creamy pasta with rich pecorino cheese and freshly-ground pepper.
Although simple, Cacio e Pepe at Pigneto Quarantuno is something to add to your bucket list and tick off, quickly, and probably more than once.

Forgot to answer Nancy Headlee's question. I served mine with crackers & also had mini croisants to spread it on, if desired. Both the crackers & croisants were used & this was served as a snack. There was some left over & I just packed it into a bowl to use it later as a sandwich. Worked great all the different ways.
Mar 18, 2012
Made this salad & it turned out very attractive & was very good tasting. Just wanted to give a hint about chopping the eggs. Because you want the pieces small, use a pastry blender & keep using it until you get the desired size needed. Thanks Lois for a different way to present egg salad.

Do you eat it with something or serve it on it's own?

Very pretty and tasty. I add a bit of yellow mustard to the gelatin/mayonnaise mixture. That's the way my mother did it, and I like the taste and color it imparts.

Desert Bloom is what Gangplank is all about. While it was a great showing of using free infrastructure provided for creatives to create and show off their work it really was about so much more. It was about a group of people stepping up and taking initiative to make the place they live better. Not only for themselves but for other creatives like them. We asked for volunteers to get involved in bringing music to Gangplank and from a few exchanges Greg Taylor, Brandon Franklin, Brandon Mason and Nicholas DiBiase ran with it and put together a fabulous event to kick off the YearOfMusic.
We are excited to be moving into a new space soon that will allow local musical creatives to really flourish by providing studio and venue space to not only perform, but to create and collaborate. If you want to be involved drop us a line we plug you in. If you have an idea of something you want to see at Gangplank speak up. Our goal is to help people follow their passion and unlock their talent and creativity. We look forward to seeing everyone participate. If you want to participate in the photo equivalent of the YearOfMusic check out PhotoCon and sign up for the Chandler Photo Throwdown.

As tired as the post-rock genre is, records like All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone are keeping the artform alive, if only by a thread as withered and delicate as the soft sections of Explosions In The Sky's latest. Although the Texas quartet expand on the suffocatingly – albeit deliciously so – uniform motif of previous album The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place, All Of A Sudden… unflinchingly holds true to the band's tradition.
It doesn't break any padlocks, pick any keyholes or add any new instruments (save the isolated keys on 'What Do You Go Home To?'), and you'll be able to recognise the elongated loops and dots of their signature sound in an instant if you're already a fan. That said, it's about as consistently lovely as it can be considering the limitations adhered to by both the band and their genre of choice. Most importantly, the group dance around the rise-and-ripple dynamic expertly, never going about their business dispassionately or predictably. And after the still-lingering disappointment of M83's Before the Dawn Heals Us – which traded the lovely machinated beats of Dead Cities for obnoxious, bloated, cheesedick live drums – I'm perfectly happy settling for an upgrade rather than a complete overhaul.
These boys know how to lasso a listener and slowly, softly, and effortlessly reel their catch in with minimal flipping and flopping. Suffice to say, as soon as opening track 'The Birth And Death Of The Day' rubs its eyes and shyly opens them to the world, you'll be curious as to where EITS will transport you. And you'll get your answer soon enough, young one: first you'll be dunked head-first into a sheet of fuzz and wicked sloshes of snare. Then the guitar explosions we've all come to know and love begin, the dual six-string salvos tip-toeing around each other with such grace you'll swear they were born stuck together like siamese twins.
From there Explosions In The Sky use their savvy approach to give us more of what they do best. Most of the songs start with a flutter, work themselves into a resplendent flourish, ease back into a gentle, laying-down-in-a-field-of-warm-poppies trench, then repeat the process. Obviously it's not always that simple an equation, as All Of A Sudden… is much more redolent of rough-and-ready debut How Strange, Innocence. However, this new album somehow retains the most endearing traits of the aforementioned third album, too. And that's what really pushes this effort over the top. It lets the drums out to play like the debut and lays the shimmering guitars on thick like The Earth…; it employs an increasingly random tact (How Strange, Innocence) yet ensures the compositions fit together snugly as a whole (The Earth…).
For those simply dying for a post-rock recharge in lieu of Godspeed's sabbatical this is essential listening. In addition, much like Mogwai's Mr Beast showed the Scottish group bearing new teeth, tracks like 'Catastrophe And The Cure' jump into cascading bliss intensely with nary a build-up, fixing on volume greedily like a veteran druggie shooting a hot nick of scag after a long sober period. This and other subtle changes yield another way to appreciate a band we all seem to appreciate regardless. Sure, good things come to those who wait, but that doesn't mean we can't all win from time to time, does it?

Dmitry Chaplin Choreographing for So You Think You Can Dance Finale
I debated even reporting on this, given that I am done with SYTYCD now that it has become a bona fide popularity contest and that least skilled dancer this season is probably going to win (and just as I feared, both ballroom girls were cut back-to-back just before the finale), but alas, it's not Dmitry's fault and he is part of the DWTS family – so here it is. 🙂
Dmitry tweeted that he is going to be choreographing for the upcoming performance finale next Tuesday:
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/dmitry_ch/status/243614535792066560″]
Can't blame Dmitry for being nervous – seems like the ballroom routines this season have had about a 50/50 chance of getting ripped apart by the judges…so much for debunking the blatant anti-ballroom bias on that show. Dmitry may also be having flashbacks to last season, when Nigel picked apart the cha-cha Mark choreographed for the performance finale. Let's hope Nigel isn't looking forward to a repeat "My show is better than DWTS!" pro-roast this time around…
Anywho, I found this little interesting Dmitry ditty while nosing around YouTube – it's Dmitry talking about the cha-cha he choreographed for Cole & Anya a few weeks ago, and I think he pretty much hits the nail on the head when talking about non-ballroomers trying to learn ballroom:
Anywho, everybody cross your fingers for Dmitry that he doesn't become the next victim of Nigel the Ballroom Meatgrinder next week. I just find it funny that he seems to think his show has so much more street cred than DWTS, due to the many dance styles they portray and all the Emmy nominations they amass – yet his show has turned into a complete popularity contest, while DWTS at least maintains some degree of integrity by making the results 50% scores and 50% votes. Enjoy those Emmy noms, Nigel – because with your ratings hitting an all-time low this summer, this may be your last hurrah.

Think of Galway City as Ireland's playground. A place to unwind, kick back and enjoy yourself. Your wallet needn't take a beating here, either. In fact, you can have a ball in the City of Tribes without spending a cent. Here are 10 things to do in Galway City for free (or next to nothing)…
This colossal cathedral was first dedicated in 1965, making it the youngest of Europe's great stone cathedrals. Inside columns shoot up into the ceiling, transforming into curved arches that support a gigantic dome. The cathedral displays an interesting mix of Renaissance, Romanesque and Gothic characteristics. Walk in for a stroll. Walk out amazed.
The story of Ireland's famous Claddagh ring tells of pirates, lost love and great romance. Thomas Dillon's Claddagh Ring Museum tells the story in fine fashion. They've also got curious exhibits of stone age axes, famine memorabilia and an interesting photographic collection of old Galway. Well worth a visit.
Whoever said museums are boring had obviously never been here. This powerhouse of education is home to residential exhibits such as Galway Within the Walls – a look at the thriving port town of medieval Galway. Ireland's cringe-inducing dance hall days are also examined, as well as Galway & The Wars of Empire. All for free.
The traditional Irish music session is the ultimate 'Irish' experience. And for good reason. In Monroe's Tavern in the heart of the city, the music rarely stops. If you want to experience a genuine Irish trad session and maybe join in for a jig or two, you're in the right place. With free entertainment every night of the week, Monroe's is a must for Galway. They do a fine pint of Guinness, too.
After a busy day sightseeing in the city, why not take a leisurely stroll along Salthill Promenade? Winding along the coast, the walk offers gorgeous views of Galway Bay and, on a clear day, the hills of County Clare. There are little cafés and seats dotted along so grab an ice cream, take a seat and simply watch life flow by. Bliss.
Just a short ferry ride from Galway Bay, the Aran Islands are made up of Inis Mor, Inis Meain and Inis Oirr. On the islands, the pace of life is set to leisurely. Getting around is easy, whether by foot or bicycle. With winding roads, historic ruins and cosy pubs, the islands are a little slice of Irish heaven.

The Galway Civic Trust hosts a walking tour into Galway's medieval past. Wander around key medieval sites and buildings such as, Lynch's Castle, Eyre Square and the Hall of the Red Earl. It's a great way to take in some of Galway's best sites and there are plenty of interesting nuggets of info, too.
Simply strolling around Galway is a treat. The cobbled medieval streets are home to all sorts of pubs, craft shops and cafés. Take in the famous Spanish Arch before hitting Kirwan's lane. Be it musicians playing for the crowds or daredevil street performers defying danger, there's always something happening here. Kirwan's Lane is also home to relics of 16th and 17th century architecture. Without a doubt, this is the busking centre of the city.
The Galway International Oyster & Seafood Festival kicks off in September each year, bringing a whirlwind of foodie delights to Galway. The city is invaded by food lovers who come for the live cooking demonstrations, the 'Oyster Olympics', food talks and tastings by the shuck-load. All of this with some of Ireland's best musicians providing the soundtrack. Make sure to pack your appetite!
You can't visit Galway and not visit Eyre Square. The area consists of the John F. Kennedy Park, which lies in the very heart of Galway City. The iconic Galway Hooker statue is here, honouring the seafaring traditions of the city. A walk around the park reveals twinkling fountains and statues all with busking musicians providing the soundtrack. This is the beating heart of Galway City, an oasis of calm and a must visit.

How they work
Chocolate Chunks taste great in the mouth but now you can enjoy them in your 'wallet' too! and these Chocolate Chunks are guaranteed never to melt.
Chocolate Chunks are special rewards that we give registered users whenever you make purchases on Cadbury Gifts Direct and Cadbury Gifts Direct for Business.
Chunks can be saved up and put towards future purchases made on Cadbury Gifts Direct and Cadbury Gifts Direct for Business. They can be used in full or as part-payment and make a real difference to the price you pay. Chunks can't be exchanged for cash - sorry.Each Chocolate Chunk has a value of 1p and we'll give you a new one every time you spend £1 (excludes carriage costs) so for instance if you buy one of our delicious Cadbury Treasure boxes for £10 we'll give you 10 brand, spanking new Chunks. Now and again we'll be splurging Chunks to award multiple Chunks for purchases so that you wallet grows in value quicker. We'll also give you Chunks for registering with us and signing up to receive emails and other promotions.
