    The second resort we visited was Red Mountain, staying in the nearby town of Rossland. The elevation is higher than Fernie and the snow even at town level was a lot deeper, we arrived to a fresh coating of powder over the trees and houses. Unfortunately thenext morning the weather set in a rain plagued…

    I am out with 5 friends powder hunting around Canada, we flew into freezing Calgary to pick up our rather large 15 seater van… Luckily it does have winter tyres and 90% screen wash… Our first few days were at Fernie where there was plenty of snow but poor visibility and fairly regular snow and rain, which…

    This is a post I should have put up last year but didn’t get round to. Majroca is an island of contrasts, you have the stunning, elegant beauty of Palma and the small towns dotted around the hills of the island. Just down the road you have the notorious party piece that is Magaluf. This…

    For once the English Autumn is actually being bearable! The good weather seems to be continuing for now. A couple of weekends I headed down to South London to ride some dirt jumps for the first time in ages and snapped a few photos. A couple of guys form Brixton were down and trying to…

    I went to University in Wales and I always enjoy going back to visit friends and see the beautiful landscapes. I visited back in April and arrived on a Friday night to a beautiful sunset display. Shot using Cokin neutral density and graduated ND filters to bring the sky in and achieve a softer sea.…

    In May I spent a weekend walking around Exmoor National Park with my dad. I hadn’t spent too much time in that part of the country previously and it was a good chance to spend a bit of quality time with the old man too. The scenery is simply stunning and there are numerous good…

    The weather on my final day in Iceland was a mixture of light rain, heavy rain, sideways rain, sleet, snow and everything in-between. A typical day in Iceland of course, which made short work of my basic ‘waterproof’ clothing… Lesson learned, next time I brought more suitable clothing with me! My faithful friend Albert was…

    I had read a lot of good reports about taking a super jeep to explore some of the more extreme sections of Iceland. This trip was back in April so there was still a lot of snow and ice about. A super jeep is an imported jeep that has been raised and had 40 inch plus…

    As ever the weather in Iceland looked uncertain for my first full day in the country not in the office. My friend Albert suggested we drive around some of the less well known parts of the southern part of the island, not quite following the standard Golden Circle route. I had a great day walking…

    This is probably the most photographed scene in Iceland, but I couldn’t help myself. The recent addition of several high rise flat blocks unfortunately obscures the sun from the sculpture for a lot of the day. One of main excitements for the trip was to see the Northern Lights. Iceland is one of those mythical…
