    After a few days celebrating for my friend’s stag do in Ljubljana I headed to Lake Bohinj on my own to explore the beautiful countryside of Slovenia. I didn’t have a lot of time unfortunately, so I just walked around the lake and up into the nearby mountains for a few days staying in a…

    I only stopped for the day in Lake Bled. Enough time to go and jump off some waterfalls in the pursuit of ‘canyoning’ (unfortunately I managed to forget my GoPro which was the sole purpose of bringing it on the trip…). Basically a local lunatic takes you to a series of increasingly high waterfalls 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…

    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…
