It seems that my enthusiasm for blogging is wavering, maybe Facebook is taking over? Still since the last time I updated I have been up to all kinds of things; canoeing for both work and pleasure, shooting photos for various projects including a front cover shot for this months Canoe Kayak UK magazine, writing words for my book and for CKUK and doing a lot of testing of next years white water collect from Nookie. Rather than bore the world with words I though I would load up a load a photos as they paint a thousand words. Also of note is the upcoming Thun Riverjam, I have been asked to be the head judge again this year and am presently putting the final touches to the scoring system with event organiser Simon Hirter.
