Where the hell has the Hellman been !?!? :-)

Well, yes I admit it I have been very very very lazy in terms of updating the "Hellman Surf" blog .......but FAR from actually lazy over the last 6 months.  :0)

I've been surfing some, trail running some, and over the summer - training for and doing a massive 102 mile kayak expedition with my good buddy Ryan (Hooper) - Birmingham to Aylesbury down the Grand Union Canal. It was absolutely bloody EPIC. Training consisted of a 3 weekly marathon 20 - 30 mile kayaks on the Exeter Canal. The trip itself was a full on 12-14 hour per day ----5 day endurance'athon over 102 miles and 107 lock systems. A fantastic experience.

Check out the Expedition Report recently published on the "Advanced Elements Kayaks" website:
