Don't do this to your kayak

Do not allow an ordinary electrical light bulb to rest against your kayak whilst the bulb is switched on. If you do, it'll melt a hole through your lovely kayak, and then you'll have to fix it!

However if you have melted a hole in your boats, heres how to fix it.......


STEP 1:

Smooth off your unsightly hole, removing any melted plastic.



STEP 2:

Make a template and use it to cut out a piece of plastic to fill the hole, round the edges of your 'filler'.

STEP 3:

Weld your 'filler' into your hole using more plastic and a hot air gun.

STEP 4:

Smooth off welds.

STEP 5:

Take more care with light bulbs!

Puddletown woods

Although the surf looked like it was going to be amazing this Sunday, I opted to head to Puddletown Woods with a whole bunch of bikers for a days riding.
It turned out to be a real stunner, 12 riders, warm, dry and sunny and of course the trails at Puddletown are awsome.
If you like a bit of mountain biking, and you like, jumps, downhill trails, 'shore and some amazing landscape all in one package then get your self to Puddletown woods it really has it all. I can't put it in words, so I'll leave you with a big bunch of pictures and some camera phone videos!

Still low, still loving the Jefe
