Gwilym's Adventure Blog

A very interesting day involving some challenging riding through Montengro and having to bribe a Bosnian border official due to "irregularities" with my documents. The Durmitor National Park is amazing and I will update this with some links once I get some faster wifi. The roads and views were worth travelling for and I would consider visiting again in winter for some skiing. Now at a very windy campsite in Bosnia where the owner laughed at my tent pegs and gave me a hammer and long nails to use. I had a nice swim in the cold but clear river only metres from my tent. Great to meet 3 British cyclists who are riding home from Athens and to go and have a meal together and share our experience. They are off super early but I have a short day tomorrow to get to the Croatian coast so may have a lie in until 7am.

This week I have been at Adventure Activities base on the Isle of Wight working for Wet and High Adventures Ltd running a National Beach Lifeguard Qualification for some of their staff We had mainly sunny days but the water was still very cold and sub 10 degrees which made the open water sessions a little challenging at times. Good efforts from all candidates and all those who took the exam passed and there were some very impressive swim times in the pool.
