GoPro and spot test

Just popped down to the local river to test out my new GoPro video and still camera results look promising. Its my first time messing with such technology  (any tips Simon). Hope to run a video diary as I do my solo circumnavigation of Skye, the only problem I think will be the upload to the blog site with wifi or mobile dongle. If anybody can give any info on signals around Skye would be of great help. I use a orange mobile dongle I know the east side of Skye orange has some good reception but the west? If all fails back to picture diary
The spot tracker worked fine no problems at all, I will add a link to the blog so everybody can follow  the progress of the expedition

  

Go pro & spot

Just testing the go pro and spot tracker so I can link them to my blog

Change of activity

Slight change of activity today instead of a sea kayak, I thought I'd better stretch the legs off, so a little womble up one of the yorkshire three peaks "Ingleboro". A clear day as you can see from the view and a tad fresh, all in all a brilliant day had by all
See you all back on the water

New year

Happy new year to all of you. Looking forward to a great years paddling.
