Morocco and Slovenia
The past five weeks have been pretty hectic. At the start of April Rosie and I visited Morocco to spend five days on the stunning Ahensal river in the Atlas Mountains working for kiwi rafting company Water by Nature.
After finishing the river we wandered down to the stunning town of Essaouira on the Atlantic coast for some windsurfing action. I am now fully and utterly addicted to windsurfing. Morocco is a wonderful place, with a fascinating culture and people just a cheap flight from Europe.

After a few weeks in Morocco, we drove to Slovenia where we ran an expedition for the Shackleton Outdoor course, and caught up with many friends for the wedding of Simon Westgarth and Satu Vansk.
The Soca is one of my favourite rivers, one of the best training runs in the world. I will try to post some kayaking photos in the next while, except Rosie seems unable to take photos unless there is an animal of some sort in the shot! In the meantime, I’m flying back out to Val Sesia, Italy where we are competing in the Teva Mountain Games. Happy days!
