I played my first 18-hole round at Apes Hill just before Christmas. As you can see from the photos, the course is nothing short of spectacular.
Walking Across Barbados
Still dark when the alarm went off at 5:15am, I had second thoughts about joining in on the Great Railway Hike across Barbados. Organised annually by the Hike Barbados society, the hike follows roughly the old railway line, and runs a distance of 24-miles from Bridgetown to St Andrews Church. The Barbados Railway, constructed in the 1800′s by the British, primarily served the sugar cane industry, transporting harvested cane from factory to Bridgetown.
After convincing myself and managing to get out of bed (waking up Yami in the process), we got organised, but still set off a little late, arriving in Independence Square, Bridgetown at about 6.10. Not a problem we thought, especially on a Sunday morning, as Bajan time would definitely be in effect. But there was no-one around. Either the walk had been cancelled, or they had left without us.

Sleeping Bags Purchased…
To keep up with the lists of equipment purchased, I have a couple of items to add to the list.
First are the sleeping bags. These were bought from Alpkit, and are the Skyehigh 800 for me, and the Skyehigh 1000 for Yami.
Here’s a couple of photos of Yami testing her bag out…

Flying From Barbados To Dominica
Recently I had to go to nearby Dominica as part of work, and as luck would have it, the bosses private 4-seater plane was available, so I got to take a trip from Barbados via St Lucia in style.
Here are some photos from the plane;
