Just finished watching Warrior, which I’ve been trying to watch for a while after recommendations from a few people. I didn’t look at trailers or synopsis beforehand, I was just informed it was a good watch. At first I saw that it was all MMA based so wasn’t overly keen, but being a massive Tom… Read more »
I’ve just finished watching the film Prisoners and I have to say it blew me away. I wasn’t expecting much, but I knew that because it was Hugh Jackman (the Dad) that I would see it as time well spent (I’m a big fan, just incase that wasn’t obvious). Jake Gyllenhaal (the cop) is usually… Read more »
Carlisle park run. Easy like a Saturday morning?!
Went out for a nice wee ride on Saturday with @bungalistic and @ian cawthorne. Decided to keep it short…only 12 miles…at a trail centre this would have been easy, but the climb up to watendlath was torture on my new 2.4 tyres. The descent down from the top was worth it though. Big rocks, drops… Read more »
Near Arthurs Pike towering over Ulswater. My currenty trusty (and getting rusty) stead! You know you have a good rider to bike relationship when you no longer have to think about what you are doing with regards to brakes, position, steering etc, and when you can just choose your line and go with it, taking… Read more »
Tony and me decided to go on an adventure, without a map or really any idea of where we were going…and it worked out pretty well in all honesty…
Been a bit busy recently but here is a photo from the start of our journey to Morzine in the Alpes 😀
Wooooo snow!
Ems slaving away in the kitchen while I take photos of her… 🙂
The view from our bedroom window for the next 5 months Well it’s been 10 days and 22 hours since we set off…and today is the first day the lifts are open! So the Mountain Maverick crew are heading out! I have just been on the old video chat with Lyle (used to work in… Read more »
A full day off, and a lot of snow? Lets go ride! Well, we did, hoping that the rumours of a couple of lifts opening early were true, only to arrive and have our high hopes crushed when the lifts were all locked up 🙁 So we decided to head to Ardent and do a… Read more »
Well that was a suprise, woke up to see…a lot of snow fall…the previous photo was only 8 hours ago! WOOOOOO!
the view to the bus stop from our living room…notice the snow 🙂 Well we have been chilling out in Chalet Chambertin with the Mountain Mavericks team for a day now, and I just can’t wait to get started. The snow has just started falling heavily and we went to take a look at Chalet… Read more »
Here are some images in a slideshow of our journey down, it was like driving on the same road for 7 hours except each hour was a different month. The drive itself was amazing, really nice country side to be driven through, no traffic and not too taxing. The ferry was pretty fun too…I can… Read more »
Grave and I got invited out to some downhill style trails in Settmurthy, so we decided to check them out. I say downhill type trails because I am guessing that downhill riders would find it a bit too smooth, so maybe its more of a freeride place…I dunno, we took the bikes anywho! Walking up… Read more »
After a night at the wakeboarding campsite, we put Ricks bike together and headed up to Stainburn. A mountain bike trail found near Harrogate with a red and a black loop. The only issue I have with Stainburn is that the loops are very short in comparrison to a lot of trail, but they are… Read more »
In the spirit of trying something new, we decided to try and organise a wakeboarding trip. We had been told it was much like snowboarding therefore I think it was inevitable that we would love it. Unfortunately due to the lack of money and the fact that trying this sport wasn’t cheap we only had… Read more »
As of friday 26th march 2010…tomorrow…I will be unemployed/slightly employed/self employed. I decided that I was so bored with my job that I wanted an adventure, some say I am mad, some say they admire me…only time will tell who has the right opinion!When they say the light at the end of the tunnel, I… Read more »
