  • Lake Bohinj and Mostnice waterfall, Slovenia

    Lake Bohinj and Mostnice waterfall, Slovenia

    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…

  • Lake Bled day trip – Slovenia

    Lake Bled day trip – Slovenia

    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…

    In June I visited Slovenia, originally going for a friend’s stag do but I arrived a day early to get a feel of the city before the stag commenced. I didn’t know a lot about Slovenia, but I quickly learned that Slovenia is known for it’s beautiful lakes and landscapes. It turns out there are…

  • Red Mountain – Canada

    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…

    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…

  • Rainbows, waterfalls, steam and lobsters in Iceland

    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…

  • Landmannalaugar in a super jeep – Iceland

    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…

  • Southern Iceland

    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…
