Phew

I thought I'd better show my face at mountaineering club number 2's evening meet at a local pub because I haven't had anything to do with it/them since joining as a prospective member in November.  And prospective means that I'm sort of on trial/under scrutiny until such time as I go for full membership, when my application will need to be proposed and seconded by club members and then approved by the committee.  The evening was devoted to a member's slideshow of his trekking trips to South America and Nepal, the last section of which was quite amusing.  All fine there then.

But when I left the pub I found that although I'd reversed into the space, the only way of getting out of the car park was to go forward and then reverse out... between cars... while turning... in the dark and in a car park I didn't know.  In other words, if I hadn't reversed into the space at the start of the evening I'd have been able to get out forwards.  The best laid plans and all that, but at least I missed all the cars or my membership might have been prematurely terminated!
