A couple of bands that a friend of mine turned me onto a few weeks back, the awesome Vampire Weekend and Yeasayer, both from the USA I believe, unfortunately UK tour dates are completely sold out, so I’ll just have to make do with the CD’s for the mo, go check em out!
So Rose and I spent a lovely weekend in Ugley and London walking and chilling out. Sunday was amazing, we walked from Camden Lock in North London to Warwick Avenue in West London and got some amazing photos along the way. Have included a few snaps below, the rest are on Flickr.

Last weekend Ben C and I took off to the South West of England to (try) and enjoy some wave action down in Devon. We’d booked in at the Chapel Farm in Croyde a few weeks previously and were hoping for some warm spring conditions with some decent, uncrowded waves. What we got instead was freezing temperatures, howling onshore winds and shitty weather.
We made the call to go anyway, regardless of the conditions, as we had paid for the accomodation already, so had nothing to lose. As it turned out, we had a cool time, eat some nice breakfasts, took in the beautiful Devonshire countryside, had a few ales, games of cards and a load of laughs.
We eventually got into the surf on the Saturday, having found a slightly more managable and less messy wave at Saunton Sands. So fully kitted up: winter suits, gloves, boots and surf bonnets we hit the waves. Surprisingly we were quite warm and last 2 hours. BJC said, and I quote, “those are some of the best rides I’ve gotten on the UB”. I was stoked that he was stoked, and moreso as now he has surfed in cold water he is a.) not phased by surfing in the cold and b.) more likely to want to go again now he has got some decent rides.
Here are a couple of shot of team “surf bonnet”.
Yep it is official, after a little break from blogging for the past month (because I’ve been busy rebuilding this site and the Whistler DVD) I’m back, and what better way to come back than to announce that the Whistle DVD has now been completed and is ready for viewing. For those that aren’t around this weekend, you can check out the youtube version of the video on the new Whistler website that I’ve built.
