Minus 2 degrees Celsius with a heavy frost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t sleep much last night thanks to my back pain. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s wrong with it but it feels like a typical compressed disk type pain and there&#8217;s little I can do to make it go away. Turning over in bed is painful, but then again, so is just lying there. It&#8217;s one of those pains that whatever you do it just doesn&#8217;t help. Sitting, standing, lying, moving &#8211;  however I try to get comfortable I just can&#8217;t. The worst part about it though is the timing. Why now? Why a few days before I head off on what should be the adventure of a lifetime? With a trek up Kilimanjaro booked for later in the week a bad back now is the last thing I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A gentle stroll is usually the best thing for such pain and helps to ease it somewhat. I think it&#8217;s just a distraction really but it&#8217;s what I usually do to help. Somehow a 7 day trek up the &#8216;tallest free-standing mountain on the planet&#8217; whilst carrying a heavy rucksack probably isn&#8217;t the best thing for it though. Climbing Kilimanjaro is pretty tough at the best of times, doing it with a back injury may be just a little too much so things had better improve over the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole camping malarky, sleeping on the floor, doing things bent over, being cold and lugging things in and out of tents isn&#8217;t going to be great for it either. I have a few days before I leave though, and 6 days until I&#8217;m actually on the mountain so hopefully things will ease up by then. I guess 24 hours of travelling, airports and long haul flights won&#8217;t help much either. There is little I can do now other than keep taking the pain-killers, take it easy and keep my fingers crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wandering around Ynyslas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A gentle stroll is usually the best thing for it. So the planned Sunday morning Surf Ski Time Trial in Colwyn Bay was scrapped and instead I headed out into the early morning sunshine for a wander around Ynyslas. It gave me a good chance to try out the camera I&#8217;ve borrowed from my brother as well. I wasn&#8217;t sure if my iPhone would quite cut it for Kilimanjaro. The photos it takes are great and it is certainly convenient, but I&#8217;m not sure how well the battery will stand up to the cold. I&#8217;ve therefore borrowed a Panasonic Lumix DMX TZ60 as a backup and second camera for the trip. So, here are some shots of Ynyslas this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div
