A little while ago the one and only Hamish Acland hit me up for some images of athletes to market an underwear company he was creating called 'Mons Royale'. Whilst I was astounded at the concept and wondered about the logistics of producing such a product, he has pushed go and it launched this year all around the globe. The product and company seems legitimate enough to justify a blog post, how ever still waiting for my payment in undies.

On Saturday I was lucky enough to get a days filming cat boarding at Alpure Peaks.
