So ... my manic weekend is almost over!
It took just over 4 hrs to drive down to Salcombe yesterday (and then another 4 back at 11pm last night, in the fog!) but it was more than worth it.
The Pirate Rampage - an adventure race run by the company Endurance Life was absolutely brilliant.
We had to wade into the estuary to get to checkpoints, climb up steep hills, negotiate balance beams, and kayak across the harbour. The big finale was swimming 50 of the longest metres of my life across the freezing windy estuary and clambering up nets onto an authentic pirate ship moored in the centre!
Brilliant fun! I haven't felt like such a big kid in ages!
Then on just four hours sleep it was off to Kempton Park, another hour's drive, to run 10k chasing men in banana outfits. I have to admit I took it a tad easy! but me and Amy had a great time, and we got to keep out fluro yellow t-shirts - trust me you can't wait for that video!!
Anyway, best get off - 5 hrs of driving up to the Lake District ahead of me this evening! I'm doing a Bushcraft Course all week.
Videos from ice climbing and flying have just been uploaded, and I shall sort out the videos from this weekend as soon as I get back from the Lakes
