THE BASICS
I have been wearing Marmot’s latest ninja softshell for about three weeks non-stop now. I’ve taken it to granite-carved waterfalls, hiked into abandoned quarries and even waltzed into yoga studios, every time looking, and feeling like I’ve just killed Bill. Putting the Alpinist Hybrid through its paces, here’s the lowdown on just how much I dig this insulated jacket…

Wow! What an awesome weekend for slacklining in London – Saturday 14th April was the official launch day for SlackClapham; a free slacklining club held weekly on Clapham Common. I’ve only been living in London for 4 weeks, but with a passion to provide a balance outlet for the local community and some help from slackers the world over, I have managed to get one club up and running quickly.
This week it goes to Thomas and Frederic for this incredible shot. Nice one guys!
With the Natural Trust publishing an article entitled “Save children’s relationship with the Outdoors” recently, I immediately thought of one activity that can catalyze the process….
Slacklining!
Well, he’s done it again. Mr.Slackline, aka “Sketchy” Andy Lewis up on Lost Arrow Spire, with Jeremy Louis, Yosemite National Park, USA.
Just think for a minute how intense the exposure must be in the middle of that line. Incredible.
So I have been living in London two weeks now, and WOW, what a roller-coaster it has been! My aim moving here has been to set myself up as a Slacklining Instructor, teaching kids, adults, athletes and everyone in between. But it hasn’t quite been as simple as that…

March 24th has officially gone down in history as yet another inspirational day for slacklining in London!
One of the little stars of the day!
I organised an informal slackjam on London’s Clapham Common for slackliners and members of the public to come and try various lines and have lots of fun..and wow, what a positive response!

Moving to a city as large as London can be a daunting experience…until synchronicity comes in to play…
Stumbling across Balance Physio’s (appropriately named) tweets, I spotted a free lecture was being held all about barefoot running and natural movement. Perfect! I signed myself up, not really knowing what I was doing but trusting my gut…
