Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
So, how easy is easy? When a cardiologist says take it easy what do they mean? For me, taking it easy would be a nice easy 10 mile mountain mike ride at a steady pace. Somehow I don’t think they mean that. They’re probably used to talking with the majority of the population and take...
Regular readers will know from a previous post that I set my self a little photo assignment a couple of weekends ago to photograph the Snowdonia Enduro Mountain Bike Event. I usually take part in such events myself and always look at the photos of myself that are offered for sale afterwards. Usually the going...
As part of my ‘getting back into photography’ effort I’ve been meaning to photograph a mountain biking event for a while now. I quite like the idea of having a particular ‘assignment’ rather than just wandering around on a photo-walk and hopefully all of the participants in such an event will want to see photos...
My Snowdonia Enduro Photos are now out ready for all to see. Here are a few as a taster, but the link above takes you to the whole album. They are ordered and titled by rider number so you should be able to find yourself fairly easily. Hope you all had a good time, it...
Following my recent flu and health problems, I’m not quite up to any Mountain Bike racing at the moment, but I’ve been enjoying my photography and quite fancy having a go at taking photos of a MTB event sometime soon. I guess now is the perfect opportunity as I can’t ride myself so I could...
I came across a weblog written by another local resident the other day. I can’t remember how it came to my attention, probably through a ‘Google Alert’ in my inbox, but it was well written with lots of local interest so I had a look through it and then to my surprise found a photo...

They are looking for people who ride a lot, and spend the rest of their time blogging, posting on facebook and Twittering… Does that sounds like anyone you know? Me… Really. Sounds a...
The flu I had at SITS kept coming and going and then I had some chest pains so went to the doctors expecting to get some antibiotics for a chest infection. He did an ECG in the surgery and then sent me up to A&E for some blood tests. At A&E a very strange, but...
