Journey from Autumn through to spring in the hills and woods of Zhejiang, China. Summer will approach quickly now, but before we rush headlong, lets look back for a moment and appreciate the fallow season.
A quick thrown together video of footage of my friends and I in our local skatepark. I will try do these uploads every month or two, so people can see their progress.

In December 2020 we took a cheap and cheerful holiday to Shenyang in Northern China. It was averaging between -10 and -20 each day. The air was too dry there to make real snow, so all the snow was blown, but still fun enough. During the week the slopes were not too crowded, but at the weekend, it was a zoo. My GoPro battery kept failing due to the cold, so I didn't get as much footage as I had hoped. Still, we had a lot of fun and at a fraction of the cost of the more well known resorts in China.
Music is: Starfire by Spencer Maro. You can find his work on NCS.

Went creeking in the smallest oldest playboat that exists on earth. Class 3+ feels like Class 4+. This is not a hard river, but it was very hard work for me today.
This is my first "real" whitewater in the better part of a decade. Let's hope I can keep it going.

Strange little guitar tune that came into my head a while back. I like it. It feels nice to play. Like something small and fragile, with little moving parts inside. It will probably change over time. All my tunes seem to.
yup, guitar is upside down, tuned down, and a bit out of tune. And also pretty dead and beaten. Bit like me really.
