These pictures were all taken in 2005. They are not necessarily the "best of" but are simply chosen to represent the seasons, areas, wildlife and friends with whom I have had great pleasure in paddling. All but one photo was taken during or within a few days of the month it illustrates. The one exception has a clue that betrays that it is an "odd one out". Can you spot it?

Earthquake Appeal.

This calendar is free to download but if you are fortunate enough to enjoy a quality of life that includes sea kayaking, why not consider helping others? I recently spent two weeks working in the Children's Hospital, Lahore. The sight of children with horrific crush injuries and amputations caused by the earthquake in Kashmir was really distressing. All of them were orphans. In some ways they were lucky. Survivors in the mountains are facing winter with inadequate shelter and food. The Independent on Sunday appeal in conjunction with  Actionaid is specifically targeted at helping women and children who suffered the worst injuries as they were inside when the earthquake struck.
