WW meet Almargem extra Pic after objection sustained!

I received the following comment from 'Disgusted of Odiaxere', and to demonstrate editorial impartiality and fairness above and beyond etc. I publish it below and in full!.

Sir,

I refer to AWW Blogspot of 31/10/06 and am writing to note that editorial standards appear to be slipping.

On this occasion the Blogspot does not record who was present, though there is pictorial record of some who did so. Neither Andrew nor Mike receive a mention in despatches. On this occasion AWW representation is of some significance because it reflects AWW support for the activities of Almargem in formally establishing the Via Algarviana.

In fact AWW was represented by 7 walkers; and this could have been 8 had one member not been distracted by the fleshpots of Salir. This represents nearly 15% of those attending the occasion.

May I suggest that the Assistant Editor should, in future, maintain a firm grip on the cellar key until she has vetted that blog editorial standards are maintained at the level to which we have become accustomed.

Disgusted, Odiáxere


Far be it from me to suggest that there is an element of envy in the fact that Ian S. got more column inches for failing to attend! To rectify matters, I have posted a photo of the two neglected WW's at lunch - Andrew contemplating the profundity of the Universe and wondering if he has the strength to stand up with only a bottle of water to provide essential vitamins; - and Mike 'in flagrante delicto' soliciting the telephone number of a young attractive German Lady walker, with motives at which we can only shudder! No doubt the defence will be that he was attempting to recruit more WW's, but as you can see there are witnesses on both sides of him, whom I am sure are prepared to back me up!

For the record, the WW's present on this walk were: Paul; Myriam; Mike; David; Terry; Andrew; Lindsey (and almost - Ian S.)
