Last weekend I was in the Lake District for my stag party, a wild weekend of climbing up mountains under blue skies, riding mountain bikes in the snow and eating good food. Despite being under strict instructions not to be seen with a camera, watching the sunset over Lake Windermere, I couldn’t resist. Instagram for…
The Kelpies
Driving up the M9 motorway from Edinburgh to Stirling you pass two giant horse-head sculptures near Falkirk. The Kelpies as they are known, are two 30 metre high statues by Glaswegian sculpture Andy Scott. Constructed of structural steel with a stainless steel outer skin, which reflects the light of the day and night, The Kelpies makes for an…
Kathmandu
Kathmandu is a city which hit’s you squarely in the face the moment you step outside the airport. The heat, the bustle, the noise, the senses are put in to overdrive as you drive in to the city. Car’s, motorbikes, rickshaws and predestines all battle for the same section of road, all going in opposing…
London Town
I love London, the hustle and bustle of rush hour, towering skyscrapers, endless streets, traffic and vibrance of a this living mass of concrete. I don’t get to visit very often, and don’t know it that well. I would love to spend more time there, getting to know the quite, secret places that Londoners keep…

Playing with dolphins…
September saw me on an epic journey to Portugal to spend six days photographing sailing on the Algarve… You can’t knock that… Last time I went sailing for more than a few hours, it was from Falmouth in the UK to Lagos, Portugal via the notorious Bay of Biscay. It was mostly cold, violent, hard…
Friday Stoke: I Believe I can Fly…
I’m heading to Kendal Mountain Festival in a few weeks, so working out what I want to go and see… I’ve just found this amongst the listings… Possibly one I would have passed over, but not now I have watched it! and I can honestly say my heart was in my mouth! It is stunningly…
A quick hop to Antwerp
I’ve been on the road now more or less continuously since early June… It slowly takes it’s toll… I get a couple of days at home, which are taken up with admin, sleeping and if I’m lucky a quick spin on my bike… and then I’m back in the van and off to the next…
