 At 2am I lay awake in my warm (but heavy) sleeping bag listening to the wind howling outside the tent and precipitation hitting the sides. Was it more sago snow or rain? If it was snow we were safe, as the strange looking pegs which we found in the garage and hoped would be snow pegs, would become frozen in and we would remain secure. However, if it was raining hard on us, there was a good chance that the rain would melt the snow holding the pegs in place and, who knows what would happen to the tent with the next gust of wind. At 2am I lay awake in my warm (but heavy) sleeping bag listening to the wind howling outside the tent and precipitation hitting the sides.

 Ever since my first tentative steps on cross-county skis in 1985 I had wanted to try camping in the snow. I almost persuaded David to try this in perfect conditions in November 1992, when we skied to the summit of Kosciusko in glorious sunshine and we could have easily camped on grass near the Snowy River. That time I was seduced by the promise of another delicious plate of fajitas at the Balcony Restaurant in Jindabyne. Ever since my first tentative steps on cross-county skis in 1985 I had wanted to try camping in the snow.

-I had discussed the possibility of snow camping with every keen cross-country skier I met and had amassed a veritable bible of information on the subject. I had talked about doing it so often that if it didn't happen in 1994 I would lose face, even though my photographs prove that it snowed on my tent on 27 December 1993 at Round Mountain. I was too unconfident to book onto a Club ski trip without first proving to thyself that I could balance with the full pack on skis.+I had discussed the possibility of snow camping with every keen cross-country skier I met and had amassed a veritable bible of information on the subject.

 Then an invitation came from long-term SBW members Vic and Valery Gosbell to join them on an overnight ski trip. The big dump of white stuff had arrived, the weekend was free, so no excuses, we would give it a go.  We agreed to meet at Guthega on August 13th - I should have looked closer at the date! Then an invitation came from long-term SBW members Vic and Valery Gosbell to join them on an overnight ski trip.

-However, my recovery has been excellent, although not 100 percent, and I have been walking again for some time. With this in mind and feeling that the whole sorry thing was in the past, I decided to take up the specialist's advice to have the steel plate and eight screws that had been inserted to help the heeling process removed.  His advice was in the form of "In old people we don't bother...but you're YOUNG so you should definitely have it out."

 I limped back to the doctor who organised an X-ray and after a quick look sent me straight to the North Shore Hospital where I was diagnosed as having a well advanced Golden Staph infection and admitted poste haste.

 I never know how, when or why the infection occurred although its commonly associated with hospitals - and if not treated "aggressively" as the medicos quaintly put it, can lead to "bone death" especially in an ankle where there is little flesh and the circulation is not terrific. I never know how, when or why the infection occurred although its commonly associated with hospitals - and if not treated "aggressively" as the medicos quaintly put it, can lead to "bone death" especially in an ankle where there is little flesh and the circulation is not terrific.
