Norway Spring Update

Arriving in Norway early this spring we have been lucky enough to hit a bunch of sweet runs, and film some very epic drops get kayaked. There is a massive crew charging in norway this season and after a bumper spring everyone is fired up and a little scared as to what comes next!

Norway is a damn cold place to be kayaking! My marino's have been keeping me warm and after weeks with out washing them i still smell like an angel

WHITE BOX - Europe Update - Hinterrhein Special

Hay!
I don't know if there is ever a better place to test your gear than on the still frozen Hinterrhein River in Switzerland, to be able to operate with full flexibility and with warmth in your muscles is critical when paddling class 5. My Smitten thermals excelled on this trip, kept me warm, comfy and most importantly smell free!

Touching down in Europe this spring we were lucky enough to hit amongst some other sweet runs, Switzerland's Ultra-Sick, Hinterrhein as the first run of our 2012 season. From what we can gather from the locals this run has not flowed for somewhere between 15-20 years.
A kayaking road trip with the boys through Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and France!

Many thanks to all those who provided, shelter, food and hangovers (you know who you are!)

From Flower Meadows to Dark Canyons I always wear Smitten

Hey Guys,
It has been awhile since I have checked in but its hard to find time to blog when your going from Crazy adventure to Crazy Adventure.

I am so happy with my Smitten garnets, there is not a day go's by that I not in my Smitten.

I have been on quite the tour over the last year, Here is a little photo diary to fill you in on some adventures.

Extremely remote multi day Class 5 dark cold canyons of the Homathko

I always carry Smitten with me, in every destination, every occasion. Merino wool is so versatile, comfortable and Smitten garments are stylish enough for any occasion.

Lhasa - Kathmandu Yeah!!!

Dear Carl and Nic,
Well, we did it! Lhasa - Kathmandu via Everest Base Camp in 26 days. I would have posted more regularly and given you updates but no blogging aloud in China! Can't download any pics in Nepal either (not the gov't but technology!). There are pics at http://www.trikesrw.com/ and on my facebook page. But i'll post some photos when I get back to Tassie next week.

The trip was more than either me or Carol Hurst could have dreamed. Bloody tough as well. Especially the road up to Everest which was 100km of bowling ball strewn and pot-holed dirt. There were moments when both of us felt like giving up, like wheels spinning on sand nearing the top of another 5000m pass, but i suppose both of us are stubborn buggers!

The film should be awsome as Sharyn Jones worked tirelessly to get the shots. Look out for the Bollywood ending!

rocking the dub-smit with Cyclingo

I was going through some images from last year and came across some shots I took of John and Mischa from Cyclingo riding in their Smitten gear. We love the stuff so much that "rocking the dub-smitt" is a standard phrase at the shop, meaning the t-shirt and Franklin mini-jumper combo, and standard winter uniform too.

In this photo shoot, the guys had to deal with a gamut of conditions - standing around in the Ferntree cold while I frigged about with camera gear, riding the scary drop off, and being diplomatic (and charming, I though) when harassed by non-too-pleased walkers. All tests worthy of the dub-smit.

The rest of the shoot can be seen in Flickr
