If you have an article from a recent (or not so recent) trip then please, send it in. It can be a quick guide to the destination, full of facts and figures, or just a personal account of your experiences. It can be on a hairball class 5 expedition or a mellow float trip.

This is your resource - the more content the better.

Just email text and images to colin.irvine@gmail.com.

Each suitable article will be displayed on its own page and you can use that page to promote any organisation or sponsor that you are involved with.

So, everybody wins!
