Introduction


Here are the Old Gits in question: It was taken in Les Gets in France in the Christmas of 2007. During this holiday we started the concept of the 'Old Gits Gap year'.
In short a window of opportunity was emerging whereby Dawn & I could finalise a dream to have our gap year. We had funded our two sons gap years and as neither of us had had the chance when we were young we thought it was time for us to take the plunge. The scale of planning such a venture has taken us a little by surprise but we are now edging ever closer to the 11th December 2008 where we finally leave for the Old Gits Gap Year. The house is rented out, we have our money which is devaluing at an alarming rate, but blow it we are on our way.
The first port of call is back to Les Gets for 8 weeks skiing but then after this we have only a few vague plans of where we will be going. Many ideas and lots of suggestions (some unprintable!) but phase 1 is to become 'proficient' at skiing. As we only started last year and the legs weren't what they used to be, this could be quite a feat of human endurance...
