Mediterranean start to the summer




Stonkingly fine weather we've been having lately and team mack has been pretty busy, a bit to busy really, trying to pack in as much fun as poss --- resulting in going back to work --- Trashed sore bodies on a Monday from high speed wake board crashes or strenuous climbing or hill walking or even just staying out all night fishing---- by Monday ah man -- we need to have three day weekends i reckon.
Not much use for group shelters, so far the summer, but iv discovered that the midge don't seem to like the colour of this one much.
A slight tidal miscalculation by the skipper but i blame everyone else for eating their lunch to slowly. "6 hrs we had to wait"




The classic Inbred at the Dubh.






The 2008 Scottish yoof championships, May 31st @ Extreme Dream











Two well Known Starlets











Power and Endurance are useless if your hearts not in it. Roof specialist Ellen Macaskill demonstrated she has it all and is this years worthy Scottish champion.





Dylan managed to win by a touch of a hold and keeps the Scottish champion title again for 2008. "Come On Team Mack"




Johnny Stocking a power to be reckoned with. he climbed with maturity beyond his years and a worthy champ he is again.



Steven Addison a climbing machine ! another strong contender to be one of the first competition climbing Olympians.






Scotland's future competition climbers that may be the first ever to compete at Olympic level.
All of these young athletes have the skills and dedication required, they just need someone to make it poss to get support and backing. Shame I'm not millionaire Coz id back them all in heartbeat!




mmmmmm! Wake Boarding and learning to land on your face


We have really put some hours on the board now and we are actually getting quite skilled at landing on faces and collecting multiple seaweed species under the eyelids.

But i have to say core body strength training it certainly is.

Cuillins --- perfection in Gabbro

Two Spartans were spotted but they were struggling to keep up all day.

One of the hottest days so far and somehow we didn't take enough water but possibly one of the finest days out in the whole world i reckon.

Pure Scotland at its Best.




We avoided the Que at Kings chimney by taking collies ledge



After some very very nice water from the river, we wandered down and were met by this fine Scottish girl.


May the weather continue to inspire some real adventures and the midge be few and toothless!
