Crash.net seem to think that Fuji will get the Japanese GP from 2007 onwards (as do Wikipedia). This seems to be another classic circuit dissapearing from the calendar - Spa has gone, Hockenheim was butchered and now Suzuka (demanding, technical fantastic track) could be replaced by Fuji Speedway - a track which has had a Herman Tilke redesign. Both are in Gran Turismo, and I know which one I prefer :-). Fuji just seems to be 2 miles of tarmac runoff and no character, so pretty normal for Tilke. The way this is going, F1 will require a boring Tilke circuit for every race. At least Monaco might escape - but thats been made “safer” already anyway.

Found this really useful bookmarklet via Lifehacker - Click2Zap.
You simply click on Click2Zap in your book marks folder, and then any element of the page you click on (divs etc) is hidden. Therefore when you print, you get much less crud, with things like images removed, sidebars gone etc etc. I dont do much paper copy, but do like to archive stuff as PDF’s from time to time.

This shows one of the Crinkle Crags - Long Top (859m). Right in the centre of the photo is Bad Step - a short scramble, where a boulder has lodged in the gully. We climbed up the rock face to the right hand of it - about 3m of vertical with good holds.
Crinkle Crags have to be one of the rockiest and most rugged places in the lakes.
