A little run down of happenings

It's been a long time since my last message so this is gonna be a bit scrambled as much has happened since my last post.

There has been 4 trips to the alps all of which went really well and were generally wicked days of from "work."

Also in the alps I took a week off to meet up with the aber guys and had a chilled week with lots of faf as there always is with uni groups. I finished the week by dropping a clanger as I decided to solo the Ubaye gorge which is a steady pushy grade 4 with sections of 5. Towards the end above lion's den one of the major rapids i capsized and got pinned under a rather sharp rock. I was forced to ditch my blades push off the rocks with my hands and then after hand rolling up chaced my paddles down towards the lions den consequently running it blind which was not part of the plan at all. But all was well and no one died which is the main thing in these matters.

There has been lots of evening expeditions to find climbable crags localy and general sillyness with bikes.

Today I took a couple of guys up to lyon for a blast on Hawai sur Rhone and a blast it was. The wave was running on 1200 cummecs which is rediculasly big. The wave a 15 foot drop in ramp and the wave was a huge green ramp almost exactly the same height. The only problem was the equally huge hole behind it. Many big moves were thrown by myself. Simon and nathon who had never been on a river wave big enough to bounce and both had rather ropey rolls were loving it to until simon got spanked in the boils and wurlys behind the main wave. Then on the next run after fishing him out nathan broke a brand new set of blades just bouncing on the wave.

So they are the major thing that I have been up to over the last few weeks.

There are many more things that have happened over the first bit of summer but I save thoughs for a sunny evening with a chilled beer where ever I see you all next.

I am going to sleep as my back hurts from bouncing around the wave and landing sick moves. Fingers crossed pics will follow.
