[quote="Hurtle"]rorie, lots of photos here, which seemingly anyone can access:quote]
Bizarre - should be friends, or friends of friends only. Guess you must be friends with one of my friends

Hurtle, thanks - some were mine, and some were Jason's. Will be putting up pics soon from today's rafting - a professional did those though, and sadly Rob wasn't there.

Emmeline, glad you're having a good time, I am insanely jealous. Please say hi to Jason and to Yvonne for me. Don't think I know anyone else on the course, at least I don't recognize anyone else from the photos. I love the sleepy ones, btw! Definitely the morning after the night before, by the look of them.

Emmeline, I'll look out for them!

Another photo of today's whitewater experience. Not entirely sure what's going on as he seems to defying gravity...

I'm having serious thoughts about October too.
Having now seen all the white water rafting photos, I've decided that's possibly not for me either! Some brilliant facial expressions caught by the photographer.

Hurtle, those photos show the most dramatic moments, lots of time when it's more gentle than that.
We've moved from video review to balance board juggling and now on to leg wrestling even though the foot injury from last night's leg wrestling bout required an operation and a pin inserted to reattach a toe!

rob@rar, FFS! Does SSE insurance come into play at this point? (I'm joking. I think.)

God, I've suddenly had a vision of myself attempting leg-wrestling with Scott. I can hardly think of anything more likely to be an uninsured risk! Even worse than having him try to pull my arms out of their sockets doing bracquage à deux at Hemel.

Hmm. I don't mind water, it's being battered against rocks I might not find such fun.

Hurtle, err ...not me, I was a " sickly" child  , I would do the water rafting though, and the Via whatsit; I probably have to wait few years for the kids to get older,

The last photo of Via Ferrata is me reaching the top. Thought I'd be terrified but it was great - as long as you don't look down! Fantastic few days and some of the best snow I've seen for summer in Tignes. Blizzard conditions on Thursday. Thanks to Mountain Sun and Inside Out Skiing for the trip.

Hi Guys
It's really heating up in Tignes. The glacier is still in good condition, but early starts are advisable. By lunchtime it's getting really slushy, but the trains are running from 7:15 am so if you can pry yourself out of bed at such an ungodly hour, there's still great skiing to be had.
I've managed to secure a deal with Mountain Sun Ltd to run lessons for the ski and board camp at the Melezes in the autumn. I'll be working with Gav from TDC, who's been doing the camp for the last couple of years. Details should be on http://www.skiandboardcamp.com/ soon. They're still running three day breaks from £99, which is unbeatable. That's your lift-pass, food, accomodation and airport transfer, plus the latest gear to test out.
If you're going to be taking advantage of this deal and looking for some coaching, or know of someone who is, you can send me a pm.
I'll try and make my next post less of an advert! Just need to get the word around
