Coasteering ad furore

You might have read of the furore created by the Isle of Man's most recent ad - featuring one of their key adventure providers jumping off of a cliff:

Well, he's wearing a wetsuit, a helmet, a buoyancy aid, I'm sure that he has all of the correct kit, is well trained, and affiliated to the relevant governing bodies. I bet he even told his wife/mum/partner what time he'd be back for dinner.

You see, tombstoning is not coasteering. So, whether you're in the Isle of Man, or here in Pembs, if you want to jump off some cliffs, best do it with someone who knows what they are doing. Yes?

Preseli Venture updates....

I am back at PV after three long weeks that consisted of;

-finishing off a long stint in London, met some lovely folks, more of that below
-finishing my dissertation, it's done and handed in - yippee!
-going to Jon K and Angharad's wedding, and also Tootall and Louise's wedding. That's 2 of our hunkiest instructors all married off
-cutting a dodgy fringe in my hair
-shaving off aforementioned fringe, and the rest of it too

So, back at the desk and ready for getting PV all sorted for 2009!

So, met some great folks in the big smoke and told them to get themselves here for some fun times and frolics! Well, they did come and see us, just found some nice blog posts:
