Shooting, as in, photography. I thought it was simple. For years, a simple point and shoot camera has accompanied me on my travels and adventures, and has served me well, capturing that moment whether of a certain place, person or experience. I love the ability to photos in that respect to bring back memories so […]

The quest for the live roll… is complete!
I have been meaning to write a post talking about my quest for a live roll for quite a while (first roll in a kayak in either white-water or surf). That is a blog post I shall never write. That is because I have now got my live roll! I first learnt to roll in […]
Learning to slackline
You may have seen my po st introducing slacklining. (If you haven’t, you can check it out here.) You may have decided it is something you’d like to try and learn. Well, this post could help you! Before I start, I’m very cautious of posting this for two reasons; Firstly, I’m currently very much a beginner […]
Go: Slacklining
I’ve recently been slacklining quite a bit. A slackline is a tensioned line of webbing which you can try and walk along it or performing trick on it. Many of you may be familiar with a tightrope, and a slack line is very similar, although will actually move about with you on it. It is […]
Spring Gorge Walking
I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of gorge-walking, or canyoning, but low rainwater provides river levels which can permit entry to a gorge usually inaccessible – your task is to take a journey through the gorge which may involve, walking, swimming (sometimes down rapids), jumping, climbing, abseiling and so on. The sunny weather […]
Achieving the impossible
I hope you’ve all experienced that feeling where there was something you didn’t think you could do… And then you’ve gone and done it? If you have, it feels pretty good huh? I’m sure you’ll agree. If you haven’t, you should go and experience it. It doesn’t matter how insignificant it may be, or what […]
Scuba Diving!
Recently, I’ve started scuba diving, working towards becoming an ‘Ocean Diver’. I’ve had two theory lessons, and two practical lessons, and I must confess it has blown all my preconceptions and thoughts about it out of the water (there’s a pun in there somewhere). I knew I’d enjoy it, but I, naively considered it an […]
Allure of the Winter Olympics
I don’t know what it feels like to whiz over 80mph over ice on what is effectively a tray. I don’t know what it feels like to be airborne on a snowboard, pulling off all kinds of crazy tricks. I don’t know what it feels like to jump over 100m on a pair of skis. […]
A brief update.
SO, the last few weeks, the first few weeks of 2014, have been pretty varied. I’ve been revising for exams, enjoying a break from studying (and all that entails), job-hunting, and gone full circle back to studying. So, firstly, I had an exam. Anyway, enough about that and on to more exciting stuff. Suddenly, the […]
#100happydays
“Can you be happy for 100 days” is the tagline to a new website I stumbled across which challenges people to take a photo of something which made them happy. every day. for 100 days. Sounds easy right? Well, apparently 71% of those who have started have failed, with lack of time often being the […]
