Glentrek are my new favourite company, Visit East Perthshire are not

October 7, 2009 | 5:09 pm

A couple of weeks ago we got a card through the door saying I had got a letter with insufficient postage, and needed to pay 30p plus a £1 handling fee. Not knowing who it was from I paid the money in case it was important.

The next day the letter was delivered, and I was disappointed to discover it was some junk mail from “Visit East Perthshire” (I think they got my address when we visited the Outdoor Show). They had simply not put a stamp on it!

Obviously I wasn’t pleased so I decided to ask the senders of the letter to reimburse me the £1.30 that Royal Mail had charged, and I also added the same £1 handling charge, making a total of £2.30.

The Outdoors Show

March 17, 2008 | 11:25 am

I went to The Outdoors Show at the NEC Birmingham on Saturday.

I had a pretty good time. I was a bit disappointed about the small amount of kayaking stands, but the others were pretty good. There was a fun looking high-ropes course, quite a few climbing walls, and a temporary cave, but they seemed to be mainly aimed at the kids and I’d feel a bit odd queuing up with all the 12 year olds!

Events like the Outdoors Show seem a bit odd to me, in that we pay (well, I had a free ticket, but Abby and my dad didn’t) to go to what is essentially a big shop/advert! Plently of people seem to be happy to pay though – it was pretty busy.

I did get a bit of a chance to try out my new camera, so here’s a shot of the Ford Skymasters Challenge – some strange but cool climbing competition held pretty much on the ceiling of the NEC!
