Having spent a week in the Black Forest with Fiona it is a little depressing to be back in Leeds where the wine is a little less local, the views a little less mind blowing, and life generally just a little less exciting. /images/black_forest_water.jpg was here

I am feeling a little misunderstood as an individual, and given that in the near future I will be moving on to a bigger, badder, more exciting part of my life I thought that I'd go to the effort of clarifying a little about me.. I imagine I am going

I first met Mute in November 2011 on my first pushy whitewater kayaking trip in Scotland. I remember an epic conversation with him whilst pinned on a rock at the top of the Tilt. He dove into the river, asked me if I could roll, and pushed me off the

So I was browsing the internet when I came across a link to a Peter Pan pantomime in Manchester. I live in Leeds (dont stalk me), Manchester is close. I also like pantomimes. So one of the things I was never very good at was actually following through doing things.

On Thursday evening, Jack, Jamie, Vanessa, and I got in the car and headed down south to the illustrious Cheshire. Having spent the night at my house, and witnessing Jamie getting a Mawwdach-esque beatdown from my mother we headed off bright and early Friday morning to the Dee. Vanessa, being

Over the past month or two I have been actively working on the National Student Rodeo. I have been working on the online registration system, and the scoring system for the event. In November I was asked to create the website for the event. I did this, as can be

Yesterday Jack, Jamie, Mute, and myself headed down/across to North Wales to drop in on the Upper Tryweryn. Last year at the clubs 'Alps Training' I ran the upper graveyard section. Max didn't want us to run the rest of the graveyard because we had had a good day,

This weekend Jack, Jamie, Reuben, and myself headed to North Wales. Roo very kindly let us stay at his home, and his parents/sister were very hospitable. Given that the other option was to camp in below freezing temperatures, I think it is fair to say that we all appreciated

Lakes weekend 2012 was over the weekend of the 20th-22nd of January. This is a weekend organized by LUUCC each year. Usually around 60-80 members of the club head up to the lake district and enjoy the whitewater that the area has to offer. I am not sure if it
