an old favourite
Here's a lovely picture from a surf kayaking trip to Portugal with Ewart and Andy. Not sure of the date but it was about 10-11 years ago I think. 

If you look closely you can just about make me out about to dro in. 

Good to be back

Due to work, courses, exams and changing jobs, relocating and much more it's been much too long since I was last here.  Hopefully this will change.
A few weeks ago we headed to Snowdonia for a week of playing in the mountains. It's been too long since I've headed up any higher than Dartmoor but have picked 2015 as the year to get back up there with the aim of doing some more winter stuff once the snow returns.



This time we settled on a chilled week scrambling up and around a few places such as Snowdon and Moel Siabod to give Al an easy introduction to the sport.  We also had a few new pieces of kit to test, namely a Berghaus Civetta 2 jacket, Craghoppers Compresslite Jacket and a few pairs of their trousers, North Face Womens Point 5 NG Jacket, Paramo Cascada trousers, RAB Down Gillet, as well as Scarpa Womens Rebel Lite boots as well as a few other things we've been given to test out (reviews to follow).

There'll be a write up of the trip soon once I've had time to cull through the millions of photos and unpack the van.
