So I have just returned from my trip to the Italian Alps (Valsesia) and like any good stories I'm splitting this one into two parts, The first to get you clucking for the main event. Now I started this trip like none other so far, Yes! I was already hungover, however I wasn't going to let this stop me from my trip so I jumped on my flight from Bristol arriving in Milan 2 hours later to be greeted by Jakub. Day 1: Sesia (Campertogno - Scopello). Stay tuned fo...

January 7, 2014. 8220;Avoidance is better than cure” is about pre-empting what may happen and putting in to place measures to either eliminate or manage the risk. This is where the river leader’s experience based judgement comes in to play. Having decided to run this rapid, the team go one at a time and place safety cover to reduce the risks.

alex nicks: Bhutan - Drangme Chhu

http://alexnicks.blogspot.com/2010/08/bhutan-drangme-chhu.html

Updates from my kayaking adventures and travels as a Director of Photography. Friday, August 20, 2010. Bhutan - Drangme Chhu. Of all the countries I’ve traveled to, Bhutan was the one that people knew the least about. In fact most people didn’t even know where it was, only a few venturing a correct guess at Asia. This is a serious situation and as trip videographer…I’m delighted. Needless to say the Bio Bio/ Ultimate Descents safety net swings into action with a combination of Safety Kayakers, cata-rafts...

its all good: gripped and nearly loosing my head

http://asisitherepondering.blogspot.com/2008/02/gripped-and-nearly-loosing-my-head.html

Boats bikes hills travel. just being outside. Tuesday, 5 February 2008. Gripped and nearly loosing my head. Fantastic weather, a good friend, the promise of a few beers later. Overlooks Matlock and is a imposing looking limestone crag, not hard to access with lots of good mid grade routes, a nice easy summers day. I think the route was Jackdaw grove (VS 4b), I led the first pitch with some faff, Craig followed and led onto the second, all good so far. If nothing else I'll wear a helmet next time I climb,...

Boats bikes hills travel. just being outside. Wednesday, 6 February 2008. Afon Dwyfor, Afon Ogwen - December 07. Its always good to do a new river, even though every river is new in so far as the flows, lines and levels are unique, but after 200 (I may exaggerate slightly) runs of the Kent, Dee and the other usual suspects I decided a while back that as much of my boating as possible would be a new rivers. So to get a good bimble down the Afon Dwfor. Phil, in hardcore boating mode, as we always are.

its all good: its a bit nippy

http://asisitherepondering.blogspot.com/2008/02/its-bit-nippy.html

Boats bikes hills travel. just being outside. Thursday, 21 February 2008. Its a bit nippy. Mountain biking; so far I've fell into a canal, fell over, fell of my bike and generally just been well, crap at it. After a year or so of road biking on my lovely Cannondale I decided thought it would be a good idea to branch out onto the hills with a spangly Specialized mtb, full suspension, disc breaks - the works. The only thing I didn't have enough of was skill, oh and a shocking lack of fitness. The first 20 ...
