http://www.cragwag.com/posts I think it is safe to say that over the past few years, one of the biggest innovations in outdoor adventure has been the introduction of the helmet cam. Sure, we've had the ability to record our adventures in the past, but it was usually with bulky, heavy equipment that wasn't a lot of fun to use. But now days, rugged, inexpensive, lightweight video cameras have become the norm, and as a result, we now get amazing video, captured by professional and amateur filmmakers alike, with astounding regularity.

Kenny , John and I headed up into Observatory gully with quite an open mind. Word had got round that some ice routes were quite fat. They were not wrong. There were several teams ahead and behind us, all heading up into the same area. At first it looked like 3 teams were heading for Smiths but fortunately they all went their separate ways.

Then look no further than the UTi Rhodes Run , a grueling 52km (32.3 mile) race through the beautiful Drakensberg mountains of South Africa. This year's race will take place on July 14, in the heart of winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and as always, the course will wander through rough terrain that offers the potential for encounters with wild animals. This will be the 24th edition of the Rhodes Run, and over the years, it has earned a reputation for being quite the Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:57:00 +0000 http://www.cragwag.com/posts/Earn-A-Wild-Card-Entry-For-The-UTi-Rhodes-Run-in-South-Africa-19868 The Adventure Blog --- - Kraig Beckerhttps://profiles.google.com/116240874263673682878noreply@blogger.com tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-5115841688807774654 Extensive snow cover on some aspects above 800m View west from 900m, E and then a snow shower came in Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:51:00 +0000 http://www.cragwag.com/posts/Beinn-aBhuird-19867 SAIS Southern Cairngorms --- - noreply@blogger.com (Team South Cairngorms) tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37874686.post-5205860269612433540 In the surfing world, Tahiti's Teahupoos (pronounced cho-po) are amongst the most legendary and coveted waves on the planet. This past August, they reached epic sizes while the Billabong Pro surfers were on hand, and the results can be seen in the video below. The waves on display are immense walls of water that look as deadly as they are beautiful. The video was shot by filmmaker Chris Bryan , who captured the dramatic action perfectly. Amazing stuff!

I'd love to take a cross continental train-trip, stopping in various places along the way, and soaking up the scenery from a comfortable car, while chatting with friends and other passengers.
