Boulder Hut, Boulder hut is a small hut in the Purcell Mountains near Kimberly. Details can be found at www.ptarmigantours.com . Departure time was 12pm on Wednesday for a Heli pick up at 2pm. I arrived at 11:30 at the Red Tree Lodge and found out that Marion one of the ladies who was supposed to be going had pulled her calf muscle and there was a free space going. So a quick call to Debbie who was in bed in her PJ's. A shower, hair wash and quick pack later Debs was on the bus and coming with!. Now that's [View Full Entry]

Well we have been in Fernie for 6 weeks now and we are loving it. The snow still hasn't arrived and we have kinda given up on that one. It's always coming next week. It may happen but I fear not until before we depart. We are well into planning the next stage of our trip and have a departure date for Fernie which is 12th March. We fly to Vancouver and then drive down to Moab with Kyle for 5 days mountain biking, then we are exploring the parks on the way for a couple of nights in Vegas. After [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Fernie nearly 3 weeks ago, to heavy snow, that turned into rain on our arrival and has been absent since. Our journey was pretty stress free, other than the fact that our snowboard bag weighed 37kgs so we had to take some stuff out and put it with our other hold luggage and pay £44 extra! Our place here is pretty sweet. We have our own en-suite and very comfy double bed(albeit it could do with being a bit bigger Sam takes up half the bed!) we have free wi-fi, satellite TV, and hot room, 2 massive fridges [View Full Entry]

This blog is a bit late but it took a little while to get over India or rather get used to being back in the west again. India is pretty fantastic.. and at the same time pretty eye opening. The place definitely has a mysticism about it, but anywhere with 5-10,000 years of history is bound to be pretty fascinating. We arrived in Mumbai to the eye opening part. We left the airport to a cacophony of shouts of taxi and a crush of people. The 10 minute taxi ride to our hotel took us all of 200 meters and had [View Full Entry]

Hey All, A quick blog to let you know how we are getting on in the Ashram. Well we have completed the first 6 days and passed the first exam on Asana's and survived.. The food is very tasty although somewhat similar.. very nice rice wheat, cracked wheat and balti dishes which are so delicately flavoured and really really tasty.. but breakfast lunch and dinner is hard work as I'm just craving a change in consistency.. but really no complaints over the food.. I'll post some pictures when we get back to London after Dec 16th. We have met a great [View Full Entry]

London, Well we have spent the last 6 weeks convalescing in London at Mick and Dena's. And what a fantastic time it was.. I arrived weighing 73kg and will leave close to 80kg, not quite back up to the 85 I was before leaving but in need of some exercise and a diet. That's all I need to say about the hospitality. We have just had a tea party to celebrate Debbies birthday and are off to India tomorrow for some meditation and detoxification! Wish us luck and you can find out what our schedule is at http://www.yogapoint.com/info/ttcourse.htm What we have [View Full Entry]

The Cyclades (Ke clad ies) Week 1 Crew: Sam, Debbie, Shirin, Yiannis, Costantinos, Kojo We started our Epic adventure round the Cyclades in Athens. We arrived to pick up the boat on Sat, we were stunned by the number of luxury boats in the Marina, they would give Warren Buffet a run for his money! After provisioning the boat and getting our crap in order we left early Sunday and headed for Cape Sounio, which is South East coast of Athens, unfortunately it was blowing a force 7 (about 30 knots) so we had to anchor up in a bay [View Full Entry]

So after 3 weeks sailing, it was great to finally have unlimited water and lots more tea!! As we arrived a day early due to weather we popped into Athens for the day and saw the Acropolis with the week 3 sailing gang. It was pretty amazing to see, especially as it was built 2500 years ago. We also saw the first of the modern Olympic stadiums, it is a shame they don’t build them like that anymore. It was great to arrive and spend some time with Shirin and Carolyn…. The first night Caro and I had a really nice [View Full Entry]

Well we are back in North London. It is amazing how fast 3 months has gone by. Well 11.5 weeks anyway. It seems like only yesterday we were sitting in North London desperately running around trying to get away and now it is over. Bettie performed like a charm and made us fall in love with old campers, such a great vibe and perfect way to travel. Apart from a few minor issues she came through for us so all you doubters get the ketchup out and prepare to eat your words!. That goes particularly for my Dad who made a [View Full Entry]
