… I’ve been doing my best not to be dull recently and have enjoying the fine weather of the  last week. I’ve been mixing my days between work and pleasure. It’s weeks like this where I really appreciate living in North Wales and being so close to fantastic playgrounds for many different disciplines. On Friday I drove 20 minutes to the mountains and climbed a snow gully. On Saturday and Sunday, we drove 40 minutes to the west coast of Anglesey and enjoyed seakayaking around the beautiful Stacks, with a play in the tidal race at Penrhyn Mawr. Today I had a bit of a longer drive, an hour an a quarter to go to the river Dee for some canoeing. I’m lucky enough to be a long term student for Jules Burnard, who is training to be a level 5 canoe coach. He’s giving free coaching to a group of us, in exchange for us being guineapigs for his assessment at the end of the year. It seems like a good deal to me!

If you have ordered a “This is Canoeing” DVD and wondering when you are going to get your hands on it, then don’t worry I haven’t been neglecting your needs. If you live in the US/ Canada/ Australia or Europe then your DVD has been posted. If you live in the UK, then it will be posted on Wednesday 2nd class. Hopefully everyone will get them on the release date of 12th March. Your local shop should have them in stock by Friday aswell.
