Theres Nothing Better Than A Devon Cream Tea!

Whilst the rest of the kayaking world made the annual Easter pilgrimage to Scotland, I stayed in the South. Unfortunately for me, for the first time in many many years there were tales filtering through of water in Fort Bill - Doh! [I've seen the photo's and I still think everyone was exagerating!]

So with 4 days off work, and some hard graft on the first of those, we made the plan's to head to the sea. It's dangerous business, just like the Gremilns, Devon has killer Seagull's you know...

They also have Vallies of big Rocks and Blue Skies

And of course the best Cream Tea's ever

Taking it easy ;o)

The Jekyll

The Jekyll is here!
My new Squirt boat has arrived, just in time for me to take it out to the International Squirt Gathering @ the mighty Chassezac seam in the south of France.

Design and Made in the UK, its a modern take on an Old Skool theme, designed to stay down but short enough to throw some shapes with the best of them. This si the short legged, ickle version, the Hyde, long legged, phat version will hope fully follow this summer. Check out the Downtime web site for more info and prices.

Check back soon for some shots of it in action...

It's All About Contrast...

When are things going to stop? I want to get off!

NSR and Paddlefest came and went in a blur, it was good to catch up with a load of people and friends new and old - even if catching up may have lasted till 5 am at the after party, party!

Check out http://www.nationalstudentrodeo.org.uk/ for the full low down.

Since then it's all passed in a contasting blur, from racking up some mileage on the road bike...

To hittng some sweet Black Run trails at Llandegla and DH freeride @ Cannock Chase...


Small time Pub Disco, for Muppets Stag Weekend [yes he's dressed as Daffyd off of Little Britian!]

To the mosh pits of Prodigy playing Voodoo People at Cardiff Arena

So on with the randomness, My Jekyll's now finished, so check back real soon for some lime green sparkle...
