Chillier in Chile
Will Patagonian waters be this calm?!
At the end of the week, paddling in Patagonia beckons, but right now it’s 55 degrees hotter here in Australia than at home in Scotland. Going outside is like stepping into an oven, and going training on the bike (to keep fit for the kayaking trip ahead) means being wrung dry of every last drop of fluid. Even at 8am this morning, I was cycling through the sprinklers in the park to cool down. Had the good fortune last week of meeting an Aussie handbiking champion – he holds so many world records I lost track, both for biking and weight lifting. He looked like a condom stuffed full of walnuts, and left me for crumbs as he sprinted off up the hills. Him in his lycra, bare chest and tattoos, me in my pink crocs, baggy shirt and beach wear! Maybe I should be sitting in the shade, playing with nephews and eating ice cream instead.
Will be chillier in Chile by Sunday, then a few days to get down to Patagonia, fit the kayak, pack kit, and meet the BBC film crew before heading onto the water. Hoping it won’t be too windy, that there won’t be many leeches, and that a small Ray Mears hacksaw thing that Andy has bought will clear us a patch of jungle / bush big enough for our tent every night. It’ll be strange to sit in a kayak as it’s been a few months, and even stranger to see icebergs and glaciers after this 40+ heat.
Can’t wait to get back on the water, and feel cooler again too!

Howdy * I must say, I’m fascinated along with your website. I had created no difficulty directing as a result of all of the navigation bars as well as facts has been super easy to get into. I came across a few things i desired right away at all. Rather amazing. Could regards in the event you create message boards as well, it could be a perfect means for the buyers in order to work together. Good task!
