Chin up

Headed to the north east at the weekend to compete in the Saltburn open ukpsa surf championships. Overall the weekend as a whole was really enjoyable apart from getting knocked out of the contest in the early stages by Russell Winter (overall winner from Newquay) and Shaun Skilton (St Agnes).
Apart from having a bit of a shocker, just travelling up to the north east and having a nice look around made the weekend seem like a mini holiday.
Saturday was cool, we had a good ganders of the town and nearby attractions. The contest was on hold due to pap conditions so we ended up having a few beverages in the pubs of Saltburn and as the day and night progressed most of the competitors came out of the woodwork to have a night fuelled with cheap surf banter!

On a brighter note considering the episode of surf competition my 2nd installment from our travels is complete. Thanks to Luke Parkhouse's editing and the filming patience of my beautiful girlfriend Janine.
