I’m lucky enough to work in a very positive industry. I get to listen to a lot of good people in great environments. Now and again I get to listen to people I can’t help but admire and am genuinely impressed by. Kathryn & Eymon are such people.

Brazilians are more than welcome anytime on any trip.  Muito obrigado Maria, Ana and their respective partners for coming along.

It’s not everyday Olympic athletes come on the trips. Thanks to Lauren & Marcus ( Number 1 ranked badminton players in the UK ) and friends & family for coming along and making the trip such a great one.        

2021 weather has, overall, been incredible around Ullswater. Blue sky after blue sky.

If peace & quiet is appealing, Ullswater now is a very different place to a month or two ago.

What a stunning day. Ullswater is beautiful at all times of the year. Today it outdid itself.

Any time of the year is good to visit Ullswater but I must admit June & September are probably my favourites. Paddling along with superb company out on an almost empty lake was a very nice way to spend a few hours today.

Beautiful day out on the lake today. You could feel the seasons changing from late summer to early autumn.

Each time I’ve kayaked with brass band members they’ve been superb paddling companions. Turns out they knew of each other as well. More are very welcome.

Thanks to Bethan for practising Italian with me. Thanks also to everyone who paddled along on a very enjoyable trip.

It really does happen that we tend to have superb trips in the wettest conditions. It’s just a privilege to chat to a wide variety of people about their lives. Whether it’s being a diving instructor in Honduras and Indonesia, hearing about a business that deals with tattoo removal, future plans after the army or…

Thank you to Ella & Matt for the sign language and chemistry lessons today.
