oi oi... once again we´ve lucked out with epic snow and sunshine.. seems ullr is on our side for this whole trip.. been in termas de chillan in chile for the last week and a bit.. the terrain was incredible cornice after cornice, steep deep pow and best of all there was almost noone else there.. seems peeps in chile dont know about this place.. incredible times
 
we hiked another volcano, this one wasnt pumping smoke as bad as the last one but did stink of sulphur, total mission hiking in lava scree almost threw the toys out the pram and gave up but eventually made it and the views from the top were the nuts.. all the andes well as far as wee could see lakes, volcanos, yetis, tigers, giraffes, palm trees, hula girls,. even a couple of chilean haggis.... no shi*t
 
had a couple days off all day boozing in the sun which were real good fun, chilled with some american candaians ozzies. on monday it was chilean independence day and the whole country was jumping. went to the local firestation and got fairly sideways on some yocal punch cant really remember much at all.. next day we went horseriding.. never done it before and to be honest was shi*t scared but it turned out real good times.. did galloping or whatever the horsey lingo is felt like john wayne, walked like a cowboy afterwards and ma balls are still aching!!!
 
reet now we´re back in los andes north of santiago hoping to go catskiing again.. summers definatlety in the air at last. ben bounced to buones aires last night.. me and eve are being proper tourists.. off to get a hawaan shirt, 200pounds extra weight and a huge camera, a map and go ask the locals dumb questions
 
flying home on sunday... gonna be a shock arriving in heathrow afer all this mountain living but really looking forward to catchin up with everyone back in the U'K
 
hope alls well with yáll
 
adios for now

Errr so its been too long to remember everthing thats gone on since the last news.... Well we drove back from the end of the world checking out some pretty cool stuff.. First up was the Torres del Paine national park which has lakes with icebergs in and thes crazy mountain rock pillar formations cant really decribe them but you´l see the photos.... Then we wentt to Calafate to see the Perito Merino Glacier.. Got there at 9am as the sun was rising there was no-pme else around which was boss as normally its super busy.. we jumped the fence and went down the the waters edge which isnt too wise apparently but it was rad to be soo close to the 60m high glacier,.. It made the craziest noises and when the sun hit it huuge pillars of ice fell off creating massive waves at which point we realised it probably was a bit sketchy standin where we were.. Defo one of the coolest things i ever seen
 
Next day we drove up the infamous Ruta40  which is a 1600km dirt road.. on the way we went to this cave where theres rock art from 10000 years ago, as it was the middle of winter there was noone to tell us where to go so we naturally went the wrong way and got stuck in a swamp! From the swamp we realised the vcave was at the top of the hill, not the bottom.. when we finally got there at sunset it was totally amazing, 800 hand prints and some animals.. oh yeah one hand has 6 fingers.. who´d have thought people from Donside came to argentian 10000 years ago.
 
Er yeah then we went to some big party in Esquel that was at the end of a snow festival, incredible night, with proper good music.. After that back to Bariloche where me and bentesumed our daily intake of 2 bottles of rum.. now we´re in chile..
 
A couple of days ago we went rafting. We were ment to stop half way and get out and hike as its illegal to take tourists down on bit as its ell sketchy class5 rapids,,  fortunately we missed the stop off point and hit the crazy shi*t,, the raft got kicked about 6 gringos fell out and we all thought we were done.. as it happened we were alreeet, just buzzing, ben got hit on the head by something and has a quality golfball on his head.. Rafting is the shi*t, i think we kinda got thrown in at the deep end but it was way crazier than snowboardings ever been..
 
Yeaterday we hiked for 6 hours up an active volcano and rode down in freshies.. it was incredible, stood in volcano smoke which stank but good times none the less..
 
today we are going to the hot springs in torrential rain and thats pretty much all i can think of right now and more than anyone been arsed to read!!!

Alright ya dobbers??
 
Well just rolled into Ushuaiaia in Terra del Fuego Argentina after a pretty epic drive.. Its the most southern place on earth apart from antarctic AND untill about 3 weeks ago well 1500 years ago no-one wore any clothes ever cos its the warmest way to be in the water and canoes were the shi*t back then.. Gonna get on the tequilla tonight and check that out for sure!! Its about minus 2 and windy as hell so if ya see any photos its not a fair representation.. OK
 
In the last couple of weeks we got to ride more ridiculous pow pow that noone else here wants to ride which was fun, fianlly found a park that wasnt burried- rad to be back on rails after dingying my shoulder in Feb. I  love pow pow and think i am going to dedicate my life on that search or until i find my legs dont work or a girl who is more fun that pow pow.. yeah right!!  We got a sweet truck a chevy s10 delux that doest float but looks cool covered ion mud and it bounces over potholes pretty well. Im gonna be 4ft111 after all this time geting beat up in a car
 
Tomoro we´re going husky riding or whatevers its called... no nothing sexual you know like santa but with dogs not reindeer, yeah i got a red suit too
 
lots of other stuff too but i hate hearing about it all too so i wont bore you...
 
Hope everyones doing good, looking forward to seeing some of ya back in the UK in October.. if anyone hads a job they´d like to give me for 9 months im in....
