Return to Uni

The first few weeks of uni have flown by and I think this year is going to be an interesting and tough one. Things I'm looking forward to though are... Expeditions, two of which are planned for us that we are assessed in different aspects of leadership and skills acquisition knowledge. The third is a group planned expedition with a wide scope as to what we can do. Look out for pictures and video of these expeditions once completed and my uni assignments are handed in for them.

Creative computer application, not the course you think you would find on an Adventure course. However this module will enable and guide me to creating my own live website to promote my work and will hopefully end up replacing this blog. Website should be fully complete and made live in January/February.

I'm also looking forward to the kayaking festival, Pyranha Fest next week end then the NSR in March, look out for photos/video.

French Land #5

Wow what an amazing time I had. Too many memories to mention. Here is a snapshot of what my job involved on the river. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y6zBXQMF9g

French Land #2

Hot. That best describes the feeling of my time in France at the moment. The temperature was recorded at 37degrees celsius when i was last on the Ardeche river decent. Due to this heat and lack of rain fall there are threats that the local authorities may have to close the rivers for public use due to the fact the water in the rivers is not flowing and is becoming increasing dirty. This would be a disaster as my main job roles are on the rivers. I'm currently practicing my skills on photoshop modifying photos. Possibly going to be going to the local skate park with a friend for a photo session soon hopefully keep a look out on here for more. 

French Land #1

I've been in the South of France now for five weeks and finally the very slow internet is working allowing me to show some photos of what I'm getting upto. Below is some photos of my first few weeks paddling down the Ardeche River. I have to keep this short as I am currently getting eaten alive by midges.

I'm Off To French Land

This summer I will be out in the South of France as a canoe instructor. I hope to try and keep posting pictures but it all depends on how well my small digital camera performs and the availability of internet at the centre I'm working at. Hopefully is should be excellent!!
