Santa Skate 2006
This weekend saw the 2006 Santa Skate and WOW! If I wasn’t feeling full of Christmas before I am now! 300+ skaters hit the streets of London for a street skate and every one of them is dressed as Santa! I’m sure the London, Camberley and any other skaters will post pics up soon however two videos have already appeared on YouTube taken by passers by! I shouldn’t be surprised, as I must be on at least 100 strangers cameras and phones. Everyone was taking our pictures!

“I Love My Rollerblading…”
about 2 years ago - No comments
I know, I know, it’s “Inline Skating” and not “Rollerblading” but I wasn’t going to argue (Rollerblades are to Skating what Hoovers are to Vacuums, it’s a brand name). Anyway!… A few months ago the local newspaper did a shout out via their twitter feed looking for people for their “I Love My” section. Always…
Bath to Bristol to Bath Skate
about 2 years ago - No comments
This week myself an fellow Camberley Skater Hannah went to check out the Bath to Bristol Railway Path. As you can probably imagine it’s a path along the the now obsolete railway line between Bath and Bristol. There isn’t really much to say other than it’s a really good skate. 99% of the surface is…

Rocket powered skates
about 4 years ago - No comments
I had an old pair of skates and some rockets that launch themselves to 1000 feet. It was only logical to put the two together and see what happened… N.B. This is a backdated post as I take some of the things I have been doing elsewhere on the interwebs and add them to this…
Le Mans 24 hour skate 2007
about 5 years ago - No comments
Another fantastic trip to Le Mans for the 24 hour race… and you have guessed it, on skates! For those that don’t know the “24 Roller” emulates the 24 hour car race pretty well. Each team has up to 10 members (and three pit crew) and your team has to do as many laps as…

Halloween is a wonderful time
about 6 years ago - No comments
Definitely one of the most fun of the Pagan festivals and a great excuse to get dressed up! I had three fancy dress Halloween parties this year over two days and all of them skating. Two roller disco’s at Camberley Arena and a Halloween street skate in London. I had been subtly growing the stubble/beard…
Berlin Marathon Race Report
about 6 years ago - 2 comments
This was my first Berlin marathon and as such I don’t have much to compare it to. I have previously done two marathons but they were 2 and 3 years ago at Goodwood, I actually got a faster time three years ago than two!! For the people trying to imagine the Berlin marathon (especially those…
Grand total from Goodwood Roller Marathon
about 6 years ago - No comments
All the sponsorship money is finally in from the Goodwood Roller Marathon. It’s been a long hard job but I was so extatic when I calculated all the money we had in our account that was for the charity (bucket shakes, donations, etc.) and it worked out to the penny! I am pleased to announce…
