Roll on summer

I am currently in the south of England visiting my family before things get hectic over the summer.
I fly back to bonnie Scotland this evening and straight into a block of work with Big Foot Adventures and Wilderness Scotland, which i am really excited about.
 Leaving Glenmore Lodge was hard to do. I made some great friends and had some incredible experiences there, but at the end of the day i always want to be progressing and working as an instructor. A massive thanks to everyone who made my time as great as it was.

 My last stint of time there was spent packing/avoiding packing, but i also had some great days out riding and kayaking. I continually bang on about how good the local trails are, but i hadn't ridden a couple of the uber-local ones for a few weeks, having been sessioning Badaguish and Burnside, and i had forgotten how good they are again! I managed to jump on a TCL training with Glenmore lodge last week, so i hope to assess ASAP.












Thursday saw Joe, Mick and myself back at Badaguish for a blast in the morning and then meeting Stewart on his split shift for a run down Findhorn gorge. Biking in the morning, kayaking in the afternoon. Does life get better?!

 This summer has me self employed for the first time and is a big adventure in itself. Already it's been a super steep learning curve and simple stuff gets lost among the storm of things flying around in my head! 

 With my habit to bite off more than i can chew, i am sure i will learn some hard lessons along the way, but i am really excited for this season and the adventures it will bring!
