Shining Rock
I’ve just returned from a two day hike that wandered a scant few miles away from Cold Mountain (of book and movie fame). We arrived at the trailhead at about 4pm on Saturday, rather later than we’d intended, but made fine progress to camp at a place called Shining Rock. At Shining Rock itself, the…

Microlight
The reason I went back home last weekend was to use a microlight voucher I received for my 21st birthday, a mere 10 months after I actually received it. The microlight centre (more accurately described as ‘a hangar in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere’) was about an hour’s drive away…

Some photos
Selected photos of my trip to Madrid are now online, along with some old (and more complete) photos of West Kirby Marine Lake. There’s not an awful lot to say about Madrid; our days centred around two things, food and drink, both of which were plentiful, good and cheap (just like pretty much everywhere else…

New photos
I’ve just set up some new gallery software which will let me automate the process of uploading and captioning photos, meaning that I’ll be displaying many more of my photos.

Usually they have more than one moon, and the sky is pink, and the rooftops are either a barren wasteland or soaring, spiralling towers, but…

Lucid
I arrived back in the UK yesterday morning after a 24 hour journey from Sydney. Predictably, it was raining. What I tried to do during the flights back home was to time my eating and sleeping so that I could reduce any jetlag I’d have caused by the ten hour time difference. The easiest way…

Fourth time unlucky
Four times I’ve tried to go hang-gliding in Australia: Wednesday: good windspeed, but in the wrong direction Thursday: too windy Friday: too windy Saturday: too windy The annoying thing is that the weather was perfect when I first got here. The even more annoying thing is that hang-gliding here is almost half the price of…
