  1. Hi dude! can you upload some videos and pictures of your yearly trip.thanks

  2. Snowboarding is the best. Let's just hope that Global Warming will end. So we can save this sport.

  3. Hi Geoff. Glad to see you are still pushing on despite the leaky boot. Weather has been a bit kinder over the last couple of days which helps. Liked your photos of the Erme crossing. Gav (aka The Other Gentleman) is the one in the water while the other 3 members of the 4 Lads urged him on. We’ll follow your exploits. Might even try a blog for our next trip. Frank, Steve, Jim, and Gav (aka etc.) – The Four Lads.
