Carry on up the Adur..

Bank holiday spent training and worrying about the trip (i.e. Writing risk assessment). Marvellous trip from Parsons green to Shoreham on Saturday with Marcia and Alan... They both fell in... Then back on Sunday with my transylvanian friend Mirel... Marvellous...

Testing the boards to destruction....

It was a great pleasure to meet the pupils of St Bernadettes primary school today to talk about rainforest conservation and the Stand Up for the Amazon expedition. I was soooo impressed with what the pupils knew about the situation facing these tropical forests... In the photo we are destruction testing the inflatable SUP board!!

Gore and more gore... Wilderness medical training course

Dealing with worst case scenarios is something important to consider. Any trip beyond the normal safety net of ambulance and hospitals must undertake wilderness medical training... This is the third time I have renewed my wilderness medical skills on the WMT and last time 2 audience members fainted at the 'desensitisation' imagery.... Only one went down this time allowing us to practise the recovery position! Below photo of the fantastic Tariq and Larissa.. Oh and result of polar bear attack.... Those of squeamish nature look away...
