Off to a nice start on day one "Try and not look like a tourist Mark, just blend in with the locals....oh nevermind then" A meeting of nations
The mighty twin peaks of Grand Terre island Sailing bath tubs Practice makes....piss poor performance apparently
Upholding the good name of Scottish golf or that was the idea anyway Paddle surfing takes a beating in the paddle surfing "Coasteering" my arse. This was running along razor sharp lava and coral and slashing your shoes, hands and feet to bits.
Three amigos try to find some shade Lina looking cool Top cat strikes again
Me going over the edge of the 70m abseil Halfway down the 70m abseil Inside the caldera of the volcano we'd just run up
Last day, start of the beach run Mark poses Bad belly day. Time for a catnap and hope it all gets better
Kayaking at sunset from the beautiful Iles de Pigeon where we'd snorkelled with turtles and amazing fish. Bedding down for the night on one of our two nights in the gymnasium Show off locals surfing handstands
Mark suffering from another day of blue skies and warm weather. It's a hard life Dipping for the line at the top of volcano number one Chilling after the first volcano run. Ze english speakers confer on tactics
Beside Le Soufriere, the first time any of the locals had seen it without cloud cover in their lives. It gets something like 15000mm of rain a year at the top! Dan and me chilling after the big volcano run that Mark and I won. Relaxing in the warm volcanic springs after our hard run, sheer bliss
Relaxing in the warm volcanic springs Me and Lina trying to catch up on another coast run Daniel and Lina
Another beautiful beach Mark and his postcard pic Lina putting all the boys to shame again.
Richard the star of Guadeloupe. This man is a legend and was our hero translator Oi oi sailor Clare
Nick prays to the monkey gods Mark relaxing before the final stage Off to a flying start
Tied at the ankles we completed the assault course then staggered like a couple of drunk girls in stilettos on a Saturday night in Glasgow Got my nuts Nice composition
Gwada Snoop Dog Pretty shafted on the last day run. Too many flat sandy beaches for me, I need hills! Meeting the local kids and signing autographs
Team Salomon XA France - Christoph and Bruno, two great guys and worthy winners The first run of the last day. Running on sand is hard work! Party time, Mark, Richard and Me, Mr Happy
Last night party Overwhelmed with success
