Friday, 24 September 2010. Mountain Biking in Gisburn Forest. Gisburn Forest near Slaidburn. The technical features are boards and little bridges over streams with a fearsome looking narrow boardwalk marked as a "black" route. The black (severe) sections of the route ...

Grand Canyon – North Rim to South Rim in One Day | ryan johnson FILMS+PHOTOGRAPHY
https://ryanjohnsonfilms.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/rim-to-rim
Image of the Week. Grand Canyon – North Rim to South Rim in One Day. April 13, 2012. It was an absolutely crazy idea, but it could be done. I made a photo book that tells the story chronologically (we had a little drama along the way which makes it interesting). If you want a blow by blow account of how the hike went you can read/order the book by clicking HERE. Feel free to email me or comment on this post if you want advice on planning the hike, especially from a photographer’s point of view. Wow Put&#...

Alpine Trails: January 2011
http://alpinetrails.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A selection of high level routes to summits and viewpoints in the Alps in photo diary format. These routes are classed as walking or hiking trails rather than climbs and are not beyond the ability of the average hiker. Also included here is my 8 day journey between the Eiger and the Matterhorn undertaken in July 2007. Friday, 14 January 2011. Hohsaas and the Weissmies Hut. The Weissmies Hut at 2726m is reached by a final; steep section of path though there is no difficulty getting here. The rock peak...

Travel Stories and Short Adventures.

Friday, 26 November 2010. Mountain Biking at Whinlatter - The Quercus Trail. Now I followed the arrows along an interesting section that in a way was even better than the first part of the route with smooth bumps and banked sections on the downhills. You pass a sign t...

First Date | Footage
https://creespee.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/first-date
Backgrounds of our feet. May 19, 2011. We went to SM Mall of Asia (MOA) in Pasay City, said to be the third largest shopping mall in the world but other reference says it’s fourth. It’s not my first time to be here yet my first time without human company. It’s like you can find everything you can think of inside this mall (not that I’m promoting it ). But since I’m not here to shop, right after I got off the mini-cab I passed by the mall and hit this road. We’re ready to see sunset! I don't know if ...

European Downhill Trip: Part 2 | Transient Mountain Biker
https://transientmtb.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/european-downhill-trip-part-2
The Passion of Mountain Biking. European Downhill Trip: Part 2. This entry was posted on February 20, 2012 and tagged adventure. So we left off in the southwest of Switzerland. I arrived in Champery by a small train that went along the cliff side. It is amazing how scenic everything is in Switzerland. It is such a beautiful country. At the top of Les Gets I say “no black trail this time! Thankfully I did not fall! A little dried mud never hurt anyone. On a trail connecting one bike park to another. T...

Riding in the Schwarzwald | Transient Mountain Biker
https://transientmtb.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/riding-in-the-schwarzwald
The Passion of Mountain Biking. Riding in the Schwarzwald. This entry was posted on March 1, 2012 and tagged adventure. My favorite place to ride is in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) of Germany. The rides always seemed a bit mystical and special. Multiple times I thought that some knight was going to be over the next crest, or something like that. Perhaps I should have cut down on the booze…. I love getting wet and muddy. Some of the trails start above the clouds! It is so much fun. This one place to...

The Grandeur of Yosemite | Learn More Every Day
https://learnmoreeveryday.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/the-grandeur-of-yosemite
Learn More Every Day. Learn Something New Every Day! The Grandeur of Yosemite. May 20, 2011. When I think of the overwhelming majesty of Yosemite National Park, I cannot help but agree with Carl Sharsmith, a longtime Yosemite ranger. When a park visitor asked what Carl would do if he only had one day in Yosemite, Carl replied, I’d go sit by the Merced River and cry! A BIT OF HISTORY. SOME FAVORITE YOSEMITE VIEWS. Off in the distance is the aptly named Cloud’s Rest,. Which at 9,926 feet truly seems to rea...

oh Switzerland! | thoughts and rainstorms
https://thoughtsandrainstorms.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/oh-switzerland
December 12, 2011. First of all I would like to say sorry for the lack of posts this last week, it was almost as though my writing reserves had run dry after the whirlwind that was November. But in a flurry of central European countries and rickety trains the inspiration has picked back up, and I think that the time is finally ripe to gush about my favourite country so far glorious Switzerland! A day later we caught the Wilhelm Tell Express up to Luzern, and spent the entire ride sitting with our noses p...
