Back in the Ardeche.

Helen and I have just returned from a well earned rest in the South of France in the Ardeche.

It was really nice to be back in my old office inside the Ardeche Gorge, it is still as beautiful as I remember. I also managed to catch up with some old friends and new baby. A week of canoeing and coffee drinking in glorious sunshine, what a way to end the summer.

Coasteering like the old times

This week two friends Kelly and Dave came to visit, do lots of climbing and some old school coasteering. Back in the day kelly and I have done some awesome coasteering and pushed each other to the limit! During our session Kelly said that she wasn't as brave since I left North Wales.............. I'll let the photos do the talking! Oh and Helen took her first dip in to the world of coasteering.

What's been going on?

I hope everybody's summer has been as sunny as it has down here! Work has been pretty mental as we approach the bank holiday we can only expect the British holiday makers to have one more last weekend on the beach............... In the rain.

So I have been down here for a few months now but only just got broadband and able to up date my blog sorry about that! So all is well super busy but still lots of play time.

Hopefully I should be able to update more often.

Afon Cynfal, Gorge Scramble Video

Unfortunately the video I made from the Afon Cynfal would not load directly on to my blog for some reason, so here is a link to vimeo.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody, I hope you all have a fantastic year. After spending the most of the festive season up in Yorkshire, I finally made my way through the snow back to North Wales and had a couple of days snowboarding in the Welsh hills. Below are a few photos and hopefully there will be some snowboarding videos shortly.
