Ladakh



Just spent a month in India exploring an area near Indian /Chinese border up in Ladakh.Unseasonal weather meant snow on high passes stopped us going over one pass at 5700m.Amazing place and the only people we came across were the nomads bringing there livestock down for winter
We came across wolves ,wild asses Yaks and Eagles .It was a very barren and dry place.

New P&H boats


Got a chance to paddle the new P&h boats in pembroke this weekend.The new cetus mv fitted me perfectly,not quite aas fast as cetus and not as stable it still responds and turns very well.I want one!
Walso got a chance to paddle the Delphin the new playboat .While not pleasing on the eye at the moment it certainly is very responsive.Looking forward to a proper session in the races in a couple of weeks
Graham got feedback from Nige Robinson and Sid Sinfeild and John Carmondy over the day
