Whitewater Kayaking: A noob’s perspective, five rivers in
March 20, 2012

Bell Creek Map
March 16, 2012
As I was doing the cool annotated map for the last post, I thought, “Hey, having the Mt Wilson and Wollongambe maps scanned and spliced together like that just by themselves would have been MIGHTY HELPFUL when we were attempting the canyon”. So for future reference, here you go.

Pool Sports
March 2, 2012
Managed to capture some interesting pool sports at a party last weekend using a GoPro and a Lumix camera. We set up a slackline diagonally across the pool, inflated a giant evil-looking duck and strapped the GoPro to a bottle while we took shots. It was a bit difficult to get the climbing tape slackline … More Pool Sports
