We’re back home in the UK and seem to have brought the good weather with us. It’s been a really hot and sunny week in North Wales…. let’s hope it lasts.

On Wednesday 14th May, I’m giving the first presentation about our South Island adventure. It’s at the Keswick Mountain Festival in the Lake District and I’ll be talking in the Theatre by the Lake at 7.45pm.

Check out details of the festival here

If you want to see who is talking and/ or get a ticket for my talk then go here.

I’m also taking part in a fun race with mountaineer Alan Hinkes to open the festival at 5.30pm on Wednesday. Apparantly we have to abseil down a climing wall, run to the lake, paddle a raft around a marker, then run back to town where we climb the wall again. Whoever reaches the top of the wall first, honks a hooter which officially opens the festival!

Barry and I popped into the Anglesey sea kayaking symposium last weekend and paddled around ‘the Stacks’ with 2 different groups on Saturday on Sunday which was fun. Since then I’ve actually had to remember how to sit at a desk all day as I’ve been loading video footage into my computer so I can edit together a few bits of footage for this talk in Keswick. I’ve got some great snippets of dolphins surfing by the bow of my kayak, me getting trashed in the surf and of us fighting not to get blown out to sea by strong sidewinds.
