Rocket powered skates
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…

2 years of Flickr pictures
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
Almost exactly 2 years ago I made a concerted effort to start taking more pictures. Not of anything in particular but instead of leaving my camera in the car I would actually carry it with me and use it! Now Pummelvision has come along where you can make videos out of your Flickr album and…
“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…
Ducklings in Theale

The advantage of having a lake next to your office window is you can setup a tripod on the windowsill and film the ducklings… … I took some static pictures too … N.B. This is a backdated post as I take some of the things I have been doing elsewhere on the interwebs and add…

Camberley Skaters on How Clean Is Your House
about 3 years ago - No comments
The Camberley Skaters are always getting strange requests and back in March 2009 we had a request for us to go on the (popular) TV show How Clean Is Your House. They originally wanted us to come along with some smelly skates but after much back and forth it was changed to a helmet with…
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…

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…
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…
