Thin but rock hard snow on Ben Nevis

Conditions on Ben Nevis were really hard snow with a lovely crust. Just perfect for crampons. A lot of the snow has been stripped away over the last 2 weeks with milder climate and some rain at summit height.

Moving an Off-Centre Sea Kayak Skeg

For years I had great Island Kayak Expedition kayaks for my clients which are pretty easy to load and are stable even for people who have been trying kayaking for the first time.
