‘In 30 hours’ I pick up a new skill (unicycling) and spend 30 hours (average weekly TV consumption for Brits) and see how I get on. For a full description, read the original post! 30 hours of unicycling down! Watch the video to see how I got on!

Today is not the day
I’m sitting in my kayak. Around 200 metres in the distance I can see a group of people. They are my safety. If I capsize, and fail to roll, they will throw a line at me to rescue me from the fast torrents of the river and whatever it hides below. Between me and them, […]
A sunny Tryfan
Not the highest mountain in Britain, standing at only 918 metres, but, Tryfan has however been identified as the hillwalker’s top British peak in a survey by Trail magazine. I hiked it with some mates and my dad on a rare sunny day, with clear views through the valleys, over neighboring peaks and all the […]
First-time Freediving
Always keen to try my hand at something new, when offered the chance to practice free-diving, I snapped at it yesterday morning. The weather was less than ideal with the heavy overcast skies threatening rain, and the wind had a cold chill but, knowing how much I would regret missing out, I went to the […]

The curse of social media

It raises a really important issue; social media is having a negative effect on many of our lives. We are missing out! We see that social media […]
A Revision Recharge!
I have been incredibly bogged down with revision recently, and the list of things I’d rather be doing is ever-growing, particularly as the weather improves, and it gets closer to my final set of exams. This bank holiday weekend I just had to take a break to recharge as I’m a firm believer breaks are […]

Approaching the end of an era
As of today, there is less than a month left of my university career. In other words, I will soon no longer be able to call myself a ‘student’ but instead ‘unemployed’ – my brother, soon to start university, is only too happy to remind me this. Frequently. Instead, I like to tell him I […]
