What did you do last week?

Mountaineering in Nepal?

As it was approaching the 70th anniversary of RAF Lossiemouth, the Mountaineering Club looked to find a suitable expedition to both celebrate the event and to challenge the club in both planning and execution. The Himalayas has always been the ultimate destination for the majority of aspiring climbers and was a clear choice for the members. Mera Peak, a 6400m trekking peak in the Makalu Barun National Park of Nepal, matched all of the requirements of remoteness, altitude, technical difficulty and affordability and once selected, the expedition planning began in earnest early in 2008.

Out of a group of around 30 applicants a team of 12 was selected as expedition members based on their experience, ability, fitness, availability and what skills they could bring along to increase the chance of success in the endeavour. Not all of those selected had been to altitude before and so training was carried out in the Alps in the summer of 2009 to give those who required it experience in high altitude walking, rope work and crevasse rescue.

The expedition set off on Thursday 15th Oct 2009 which is in the middle of the Nepalese post monsoon period and although this was the autumn and getting cold it would provide a few weeks of settled dry weather. The team travelled to Kathmandu where we met Lakpa Tenji Sherpa, our Nepalese Sirdar, who was to be our guide on the expedition.

Equipment was checked and repacked for the flight to Lukla and the team’s spirits were high as we left civilisation behind as we finally headed into the mountains.

Nepal is not a large country but getting around can be problematic, the locals judge distances to the next village not in miles but in days travelled, for once in the mountains there are no roads only tracks over high level passes and down low valleys. We spent 9 days trekking with our porters to get into Base Camp on the mountain, although this was ideal acclimatisation training for the summit attempt. As we progressed up the mountain the difficulties increased, the falling air pressure and night time temperatures slowing our early morning exit from the warmth of our sleeping bags and daily upward progress to little more than a crawl.

Summit day fell on 2nd Nov. We left our camp at 3 am having breakfasted on porridge and noodles and it was very dark, very windy and very cold. Moving as two roped parties we climbed steadily but slowly up the mountain, the altitude and incline taking a heavy toll on our progress, till at one point I had to stop to throw up. Eventually the altitude put paid to any further progress for two of us and at 6300m we turned page 4 - January 2010

back, we were only 140m from the top. As we descended the sun rise came to warm us and our recovery started. We were soon joined by two others, one of whom had begun to feel the first effects of frostbite on his toes and so took the sensible decision to come down, only 100m from the top. As we sat in High Camp enjoying a brew, we were reunited with the rest of the team who were also driven back down by the cold, as they prepared to fix ropes for the final part of the ascent, only 40m from the top.

It would seem that we had failed; we had not achieved our goal. In fact what had been the point, all that effort, months of planning and training, the worry for our families when we lost communications, not to mention the cost?

Maybe we should just have stayed at home; we could have just gone for a walk up Ben Rinnes with the dogs!

But we didn’t, we went to the Himalayas, we took a challenge, we stepped out of the boat, out of the comfort zone and did something amazing. Life is like that, you have to challenge yourself or you aren’t moving forward, you are dying; standing still is not an option. You don’t need to go as far as Nepal, maybe just a 5 minute jog on the beach, you never know where it might take you; the longest journey starts with the first step, but you only get out what you put in.

Although you can get out a whole lot more; filled up to overflowing, packed down and topped up again. I have found it is this way with my faith as a Christian, unless I challenge it and work at it, I so easily slip and the ways of the world come flooding in and life seems to become so difficult. Nobody ever said it would be easy but everyday I give thanks for a gracious and forgiving Lord who gives me the strength for the real challenge. The truth is out there, if you are prepared to look.

The next day 3 of the guys felt strong enough for a second attempt and summited easily on a beautiful, windless and sunlit morning.

Failed Resolutions At the beginning of a New Year, a secondary school head teacher decided to post his teachers' New Year's resolutions on the noticeboard. As the teachers gathered around the board, a great commotion started. One of the teachers was complaining. "Why weren't my resolutions posted?" She was throwing such a temper tantrum that the head teacher hurried to his office to see if he had overlooked her resolutions. Sure enough, he had mislaid them on his desk.

As he read her resolutions he was astounded. This teacher's first resolution was not to let little things upset her in the New Year.

It has been said that "nothing is certain but death and taxes." Perhaps we should add one more thing to that list of certainties - the breaking of New Year's resolutions! Looking back on 2009, you may be one of the fortunate ones who accomplished

exactly what you hoped to accomplish during the year. But, if you're like most of us, you didn't read all the way through the Bible like you intended to, you stopped smoking but only for a while then picked up the habit again, or you lost a few pounds only to put them back on again when your diet failed. After experiencing this failure year after year, a person tends to say to herself, "What's the use?

Why even bother to try to make these changes?"

As an old Chinese proverb puts it, though, "Failure is not falling down.

Failure is not getting back up." Or as the Japanese put it, "Fall down seven times, get up eight." If there are areas of your life that you've tried to improve and failed, let this be the month that you try again. And if you fail this month, get up and try again next month. Learn from your mistakes and become stronger.

God does not turn his back on the person who fails (if you question that, you need only look at the story

of Peter's denial of Christ). However, He cannot help the person who refuses to try any longer.

‘Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hearts‌humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.’ (James 4:7-8,10) If you have made a resolution to develop a habit that will bring you closer to God or a resolution to get rid of a habit that is pulling you away from God, may God bless you with the strength to accomplish your goal.

And, if you should stumble on your journey, may He pick you up and dust you off so that you can continue on the long journey of becoming like Christ.

Belly-icious!

A Real New Year Treat

®

SpotLight Chef’s Confidential

Braised Belly of Pork with Herb Crust This spectacular dish regularly appears on our Chapter One menus. Belly Pork may be a cheaper cut but responds beautifully to slow gentle cooking becoming meltingly tender. You may need to order this cut in advance from your butcher. You can serve it with potato puree, lightly wilted spinach and fresh herb tagliatelle.

Pork 4 tablespoons Olive Oil 1 whole belly joint about 1 kg 1 Carrot chopped 1 Onion chopped 1 Leek chopped 1 Celery Stick chopped 100ml Sherry Vinegar 200ml Soy Sauce 1.5 litres Chicken Stock Crust 100g Fresh Basil 100g Fresh Coriander 100g Fresh Bread Crumbs 100g Parmesan Heat a shallow, flameproof, cast iron casserole or deep sauté pan with lid until you feel a strong heat rising. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and brown the pork joint, turning until caramelized all over. Remove and place on a plate.

Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes.

Deglaze with sherry vinegar and cook until reduced to half. Then return the pork joint to the pan placing on top of the vegetables. Pour in the page 12 - January 2010

soy sauce and stock. Bring to the boil and partially cover the pan. Braise slowly at a low heat, or in the oven at 170C/gas mark 3. Cook for 2 ½ - 3 hours. Baste the pork occasionally with the pan juices, until the meat feels very tender.

Lift out the meat and cut in to 4 even square pieces and set aside.

Put basil, coriander, bread crumbs and parmesan in food processor and blitz until you get a crumble texture. Heap the mixture on top of each slice of pork belly and place in oven on a baking tray at 200c for 5 minutes and crust should form. Remove from oven and serve with fresh herb tagliatelle.

Happy New Year Cooking!

of the Reconstitution Community Council - Tracey Rae opened the meeting welcoming all members, both new and experienced to the Inaugural meeting of Forres Community Council. Tracey congratulated members on their successful Awareness Campaign and original ideas.

Although, in the first round of the Nomination Process, there has not been an election in the Forres area, heightened awareness of Community Councils and the new term of office is clear. Steve Ferris advised he had not seen any promotional flyers for the Community Council. Bob advised they were looking into that. Tracey advised that the second round of Nominations will commence 13th November with a closing date of 18th December. There are no vacancies in the Forres CC area. Tracey introduced the Community Council Memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Handbook 2009 - 2013 and directed members to the Contents and highlighted the inclusion of the Scheme and Code of Conduct within this document.

Steve Ferris referred to the Minutes style and asked if this would be the manner which Minutes must be provided.

Tracey confirmed their current presentation and content was excellent and no need to change.

The Constitution Community Council are required to submit their Constitution to The Moray Council within 3 months of their Inaugural meeting. If there are any problems with this timescale, please advise.

Grant - Tracey will provide a proforma to the Secretary in early course in order to claim the administrative grant for the period October 2009 - March 2010.

Community Support Unit Heather introduced the Community Support Unit. She is keen to meet with representatives of the Community Council to undertake a Needs Assessment. Findings from this Assessment will inform the support that CSU offers to groups.

Bob Hellyer asked if Heather could arrange for access to the old Rent office at The Tolbooth to allow Community Councillors to see what is currently stored there.

Heather agreed to look into this.

SpotLight Council News

EXTRACTS FROM THE RATIFIED MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THURSDAY 15TH OCTOBER 2009 OF FORRES COMMUNITY COUNCIL

Other issues - Members of the Community Council expressed concern at the period of time Community Councils were in abeyance.

They did not feel Moray Council Officers or Elected Members were particularly helpful during this interim period. They requested a smoother and shorter transitional period at the end of this term (2013).

Secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report - The Secretary reported mail from Robertsons referring to the proposed consultations on a planning application for Lochyhill.

ASCC correspondence pointed out that unless we renewed our membership the ASCC support services would

not be available to us.

Members agreed to renew the annual fee payment.

A.O.C.B. - Cllr J Mackenzie said that items for discussion should be listed on the agenda for the following meeting. This would give members chance to read up on the topic. Anything for discussion should be advised to the Secretary. Discussion on the Constitution, Standing Orders & Code of Conduct was therefore deferred to the November meeting.

Cllr Ferris requested that a restoration programme for the Market Cross be discussed in November as well as a campaign for 20 mph zones in Housing Estates.
