I may be spending the weekend of June 2nd hiking in the Lake District of England. Along with the Highlands of Scotland and Snowdonia in Wales, this one of the most significant mountainous areas in the British Isles. The only problem is that the Walking Club trip is uncomfortably close to my final exams, which will be between the 11th and 16th. Whether participating is possible or not will depend on how frantic things are looking closer to the date.
Photos from Scotland and Wales are linked on this page.

Hey pal. Hope your thesis is shaping up well and you find the time to go on that walking trip.
Beta,
Thanks. We should talk over Skype sometime. The period right after submitting the thesis should be a bit of a break. Right now, things are just crazy.
Anonymous,
Thanks for an interesting link. Protected areas do seem like they will be quite important for future fisheries policy, though they cannot do anything to reduce the harm caused by climate change and oceanic acidification.
Draft plan on climate to stabilize emissions by 2012

OTTAWA — A draft climate plan being weighed by the Conservative government would stabilize Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2012.
The Lake District is beautiful. It will help clear your mind before exams.
