Bare Gryls? has been spotted at Peregian beach. Sources say he was seen cutting down a tree (with only his knife and bare hands) and took the tree deep into a hideaway said to be located somewhere in South Peregian. An insider says this photograph was taken a few hours after the first sighting. This photograph suggest to me that "barest grills" (as he is becoming known) has possibly shaped himself an alaia and has bound his off-cuts in vines for transportation purposes, and obviously is searching for a safe and secure place to get a good nights rest by a warm fire. No one has scene him or the alaia since. Perhaps it was sacrificed for warmth as these cool Peregian nights sure can be brutal. Keep on the look out!

Hey folks hope everyone's enjoying the long weekend. Well there hasn't been much blogging lately which i apologise for. A couple of weeks ago i was in a car crash and ended up colliding with a power pole and although the pole claimed my car, I'm still here hoohah!! All is well, though I'm still recovering which has left me sitting on the beach taking pics of my mates while they get tubed. So anyway here's a few pics from a fun little session last week.
Cheers
