Great North Run & London Marathon

Posted on by

So I have got a place in the Great North Run (September) and have entered the ballot for the London Marathon next year. So a lot of training is to come over the next year. On Sunday I took the first step … no not by going for a run but by buying some new trainers so I can start this week. Sports Direct … trainers significantly cheaper than in running shops but don't expect helpful, knowledgeable or even attentive staff … good job I knew what I was after. 

Week 4 – Andy & Amy’ Wedding

Posted on by

This weekend was the wedding of Andy and Amy. I was busy being an usher so didn't spend a lot of time with my camera although I did manage to get a few shots for this weeks post.

Unsurprisingly they are of our little girl who was a flow girl. Unfortunately by the time I got hold of my camera she has eaten and destroyed her flowers and stopped wearing her hair band, I'm sure Sarah got some when she was at her cutest!

Week 3 – Porth Dafarch

Posted on by

This weeks photo is an HDR one taken at Porth Dafarch on Angelesey whilst at the Angelsey Sea Kayak Symposium with Desperate Measures. It comprises of 10 exposures ranging from 1/2000 through to 1/30 all at f/4.5.  

It was nice to get out on the water in nice, albeit rather windy, weather. Over the weekend I had the chance to paddle a few sea kayaks in the bays around Porth Dafarch including the brand new Valley Etain and the Northshore Atlantic. I won't pretend to be a good enough sea kayaker to provide a full review of either boat but they were both good fun paddling around the rocks and bays of the Anglesey coast and if you are after a new boat then they are worth considering.
