After some successful eBay bidding, we bought two wakeboards in superb conditon (thanks Mike!) and collected them last night from Oxfordshire and then found a pub where they were more than happy for us to have a few beers and stay on their land. So today in glorious sunshine we…
at last we are away again. seems like an age since we’ve been away. yesterday spent a few hours snowboarding which was great. both improved hugely though ryan got hit in the head by someones snowboard. not quite a broken nose but more surprising was it hit me and not…
Yet again, we had an excellent long weekend at the WMSki cable wakeboarding lake in the Cotswolds. But for a change we went in a heatwave rather than constant rain. We went with friends, Gowry & Tim, and pushed each other to do some new things. Mel completed a whole…
Thanks to my parents for our zorbing trip as one of our Christmas presents of Zorbing. We went down to Zorb South in Dorset for a wet ride. It was actually really good fun – Mel screamed with laughter all the way down. Only downside is the price – no…
For our sins, on 31 May 2009 we went up to Edinburgh for a long weekend and ran the Edinburgh marathon. Our first. Unfortunately, the weather was superb and probably the hottest weekend in Edinburgh for years – so not ideal for running. Of 13,000 full marathon runners, only…
We’re in L’Aquilia and having our 3rd night here. Nice town, and loads for us to do. Had a long 17m run today so ache like mad, and assuming we can walk we’re planning to go biking in the mountains tomorrow…. Some plans for the rest of the week, up…
At last, after 3 months of waiting, Gowry has finally chopped together a small video of our Spanish trail riding adventure in Andalucia in the south of Spain. 3 months ago! I mean – its not as if he works hard or anything.
Just come back down out of the mountains after 3 days of hard and fun snowboarding. A little bruised, but what a great time! Chasing the sun again now until we hit the Pyrenees mountains! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yeah – I survived the biking, and Mel survived 7 blokes talking about bikes. Currently in Tarifa enjoying good weather, good beach, and great winds for kiting! Much nicer in this area than the “Costas” which we just drove through as it didn’t really look like the type of place…
Tomorrow is the start of my motorbike weekend in the Spanish mountains! And I’ve never ridden off road (a slight excursion at Snetterton doesn’t count…) So if I don’t post again you know why….. To cheer you all up, can you believe the weather is still crap in Spain!! We…
