    I’m home after seakayaking in South Wales, and whitewater kayaking in the French Alps. I’m still tired from a long drive back to the UK and not up to much work today! Here are some photos from Pembrokeshire Congratulations to John-Boy and Lou on their marriage!

  • SUMMERTIME in Wales



    We’ve been enjoying the warm, clear, sunny weather in Wales for the last few days, getting outside for walks and paddles. Today, Barry and I went to Penrhyn Mawr with Jim, Wayne, Paul & Pete. The tidal race was slow to build up but great fun. After lunch, the flow was faster with bigger waves. Great to be out on the water!

  • Top 20 great British Adventurer?

    Last Saturday, one of Britain’s national newspapers called me one of “Britain’s top 20 Adventurers”!
    While I’m not sure I’d agree with the Telegraph, I was very pleased to read that I was even considered for a place alongside well-known adventurers like Chris Bonnington, Leo Houlding, Benedict Allen & Ranulph Fiennes!

    I also found out by doing a websearch that ‘South island Circumnavigation’ from “This is the Sea 4 won the best adventure film at PaddleCanada’s Waterwalker film festival
    AND 2 other films from the DVD won honorable mentions in the action category – “the Queen Charlotte islands” & “Lake Superior”.

    I also had a request today from the World Oceans Day Film Festival in San Francisco to show the “Rockhopping in Baja” film at their event on June 8th and 10th. That now makes 6 films from “This is the Sea 4′ which have been finalists at international film festivals – the other 2 are “Dubside” & “The Ottawa River”. That’s pretty good value for money, I reckon!! But then I am walking particularly tall today!! I’ll have my feet back on the ground tomorrow!!
