Yeah, its been a quiet time on this site, but not really for us. Apart from planning the next 2 trips – including our epic backpacking in Asia trip (how much planning!?) – we’ve been spending time wakeboarding and mountain biking. We’re getting better at both, with us learning new…
Finished our snowboarding in Sierra Nevada yesterday, and then went to a campsite to sort our stuff out. Met my parents who kindly delivered us our 3 months worth of post and some new toys that I’d ordered, as well as UK-only supplies. Sadly they lost our stock of breakfast…
After a good day playing in the park, doing rails, a few jumps and a bit of boarder-cross, I was just planning on venturing back to the van when….. …Into the snow-park and did a small jump really well, then on to the next bigger jump (which I’d done a…
Here are some poor pics of todays fun at the snowpark. No animals or humans were overly hurt during the taking of these pictures….
Yes – had our first bloody injury here. Nothing too serious. I dropped my razor when shaving and it cut my finger. It would not have been so bad if it wasn’t a Gillette Fusion 5 blade job – so 5 parallel cuts and a lot of blood. 🙁 Could…

OK – s’pose we can’t gumble that much. We’ve not had a decent dump of snow yet this year and as its getting a bit warmer, the roads in Valloire and paths are like (well, actually are) sheet ice. Cue a few falls when out and about… Snow has been…
After a couple of iffy days of low cloud, poor light, and snow blizzards, today was absolutely stunning and showing off the area to its stunning self. Really very pretty and superb. Great sky, great snow, and hardly anyone out playing. How can these pics not tempt you over? Hope…
Well just come back from the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay from my Kite Surfing lessons. So – did I look like this? Sadly not. Carl my instructor was a top bloke and did all he could, and alas even despite is hot air (not aimed at me most of…
Just a quick update before our next major trip starts next week. We’re currently having a watersports break which started with a couple of Wakeboarding sessions, one for the ladies at JBSki at Thorpe Park (for Mel obviously, though Ryan enjoyed the show! 🙂 ), then up to WMSki in the…
