Summer Loving in Wales
Its been another stereotypical British summer this year. After a surprising amount of nice weather the rain finally came along. Unfortunately I’ve been working most of the summer, so whenever the rain has come I’ve just headed to Betws-y-Coed for the good old Fairy Glen, pretty much a sure thing whenever it is wet. Obviously …

The 6 weeks that were.. Part 1
I had long dreamed of getting my face wet on some classic Californian granite gems. May 2013 was going to be the chance to fulfil some of those fantasies.

Another Nano Review

Mexico 2012 Part IV: The Upper Jalacingo
If you’re wondering if there are still new rivers out there waiting to be discovered, consider the fact that paddlers only started exploring sections of the Rio Jalacingo in 2008 and a full top to bottom descent wasn’t done until 2010. This is even more telling when you consider that the Jalacingo flows into the …
