宮島ＳＡ （Miyajima Service Area at Sanyo highway）

ＧＷ初日～♪

午前中に仕事、洗濯、掃除を済ませ、午後は大移動日！
最近はＳＡも充実していて、宮島ＳＡのスターバックスはお気に入り。
長旅の疲れを癒すひと時です。。。

ここは展望台があるので、ちょっとその辺りの景色をパチリ♪


それにしても、今日は珍しく事故を３件も発見。
ドライブ予定の皆様、安全運転でお願いしますね。^^

In Japan, today is the 1st day of long holiday season.
(some people have 9 consecutive holidays...)

After finishing work, washing, and cleaning rooms,
had a loooong drive this afternoon.
We have Starbucks at service area on the express way these days,
and I like staying there at Miyajima SA.

(You can see the viewpoint and the view itself above.)

Today, i encountered 3 traffic accidents on the express way;
this is really unusual...
For those who plan to drive, be careful and have a safe drive!

アップグレード！ （Upgraded my mobile phone!）

今日はお休み。色々と買いたい物があったので、梅田へお買い物♪
で、ちょっと買いすぎた感あり・・・かも。^^;

このiPhone 4Sもその１つ。
少しでも電波状況が良くなるように！ということで、
実は某Ｓ社から某Ａ社へ乗り換え～♪
これで山間部での接続が回復することを祈ります～。。。

Had a holiday today. Went shopping to Umeda area
as i wanna lots of things to buy.
Maybe had had more than i expected...

This is the one i've got "iPhone 4S."
As the former career was not good at its access area
(the area users can use mobile phone),
i've changed to the another company that delivers "iPhone" as well.
Hope I can use mine even at the top of the mountains...

アイゼン、キタァーーーーッツ！ （New Crampons!）

ピッケルに引き続き、12本爪アイゼンも購入～♪
色々悩んで、自身の登山靴にも合う、グリベルG12ニューマチックにしてみました！

セミワンタッチ式なので、装着も楽チン。
これでＧＷの燕岳も難なく制覇？といきたいところです。

On top of getting an ice axe, I've got new crampons, grivel G12 newmatic!
They fit my mountain boots (Scarpa Triolet Gtx) well and
perform even on hardest winter mountains in Japan Alps such as Mt.Hodaka.

They are easy to fit my boots using semi one-touch binding system.
Hope i can climb through all the way to the top of Mt.Tsubakuro this GW.

ピッケル購入！ （Got an iceaxe!）

一部の人にしか言ってませんが、実は雪山登山に足を踏み入れようとしています～。

で、その足がかりの１つがピッケルの入手！
色々調べて、ネットでグリベルのネパールＳＡプラスを購入しました！
雪山にも映えそうな色使いと微妙なＳＡ角度がお気に入り。

もう１つの雪山神器、アイゼンはネットで先ほど購入済。
もう少ししたら夏山シーズンですが、その前に雪山デビューしてきます～♪

--------
To tell the truth, i plan to climb winter mountains soon!

Preparing for that, purchased an ice axe made by Grivel (pic above).
It looks remarkable on snow and shows a nice SA degree...

Have just bought another important item for winter mountains,
"crampons" throught the web.
I know summer season will come soon; but i cannot wait for that and will start winter mountain climbing soon!

絶好の花見日和！ （Lovely day for "Hanami" party outside!）

今日は会社の「山の会（仮称）」で集まり、大阪城公園で花見～♪
絶好の花見日和。日差しも風もちょうどいい感じで、
皆で囲んでのアウトドアランチはサイコー♪です。


そろそろトレッキングにも良い季節になってきましたね～。

So beautiful Sunday afternoon, best for having a "Hanami" party outside!
Visited Osaka-jo castle park with my colleagues (members of "mountaineering circle") and enjoyed watching cheryy blossoms, eating and drinking.
Really nice breeze and sunshine made us totally refleshed...
