Hello world

You are witness to a momentous event today!

This is the first extreme geology blog.

My name is Scott Rock for brains MacLennan. This week ill discuss a field trip around the Cape Peninsula where some very radical geology was discovered.

Firstly i would like to introduce my partner in crime, Taufeeq Dhansay. He is the co creator of this new revolutionary extreme sport. He too is studying geology at the University of Cape Town. We are currently third year students and when we aren't looking at rocks we're running around campus late in the afternoon (so that no one can actually see us) jumping around looking pretty simple.

The field trip around the cape peninsula started at the Atlantis dune field north of Cape Town. Taufeeq had a sore neck so i had to do all the extreming which included rolling down huge dunes!

We then drove south along the peninsula where we measured the wave period and looked at the pebbles that are on the beach, that as it turns out are made up of the same rock you find in Cape Town proper. i then jumped around the parking lot and succeeding in tearing my pants when i landed in the road.

to be continued.......
ps. photographic evidence of our extremeness to follow
