Great Seminar and Wonderful week in Spain(again)
Thank you Che'Gu Ariffin and Sulaiman for the chance to learn and the fun company.Huge thanks to your familly too Sulaiman for the hospitality.I am about to watch the second half of the video footage(no,the shots in the dark in the clearing in the mist at night didn't come out even with the "enter the dragon" burning torches!)and then will start to edit so won't be long.Anyone who wants to come to cornwal for the next seminar should keep the 2nd half of the week and weekend after the august bank holiday (31st-3rdsept)free but this date is not definite yet
there will also be adventure sports tasters for anyone interested, (if you have any energy left from morning training)such as surfing, kite surfing,traction kite land boarding,cliff diving and tandem paragliding amongst others(please note i am not insured to teach any of this its just for fun!)
see you there
