I haven't written anything on me blog for a while

First blog in a while just been breathing , eating , shiting that kinda thing. I'm in Cornwall now.

Jan 2010

This month has dragged, more so than any other jan i remember. Maybe it's just this time of year. Or maybe it's the fact i haven't been drinking this month and getting back into to surfing again. I'm sure two hangovers a week has the effect of speeding every thing up ?

Over the last few years i really burnt out surfing. Travelling and surfing it to death. I lost the "stoke" for it. Then a good clean day came up a few weeks ago,i decided to go out and catch a few waves. Really when all is said and done riding a wave is why i wanted to surf in the first place. Not the surfer dude bull crap and quicksilver clothing. I learnt to surf in east preston ! Anyways there it is first blog of 2010 and i'm surfing again.

Right who wants a pint ?

Back in europe

The last week went by so quickly ,haven't had time or internet access to update this blog properly. After updating the last blog, we drove over the atlas mountains heading in a south eastly direction. The scenery really changed quickly from spainsh like to very dry and barren. The desert isn't always just sand, it is very rocky too. We wild camped in the dunes for 4 days. I think the sahara is the most peacefull place on earth, the quiteness is deafening. No sound at all, no roads no tree's rustling no buildings just an infinate horizon. From there we headed across to tan tan where we wild camped on the beach..from there we drove to marrakech and from marrakech to here in santander. Had the best surf this morning also ! Perfect waves and no wind.So that's it, Ferry home tmw..
