Checking out day 1 of the Pennine Way

Had a spare day today, so myself, my girlfriend and her amazing Dog Ruby, decided to take a trip to the first stage of the Pennine Way, the route over England and Scotland that i am planning on walking for charity as soon as i get the dam time.

Here are some pics!

Florence - 2012

As a lot of you may have guessed now, i really reaaaalllyyy like Italy, I've been there three times in the last two years for Christs sake. But all joking aside i Love the place, i can't get enough of the history, architecture, food, ice cream, people, ice cream....ETC.

So we decided to visit Florence or Firenze to the Locals, a small city north of Rome. Florence boasts the Golden Bridge and a fantastic Duomo. here i have put together the best shots i got with my Nikon D5000. A few are edited to HDRI cause i think it really brings out the landscapes of Italy.

Please enjoy.

Falling very fast from a Plane!

This is me, on a recent trip to Florence in Italy. I had not shaved for a while so be kind.

Lake Garda 2012

We woke up at 3AM for the long drive to London Gatwick airport, 3 hours when you have had no sleep is nasty and not much fun, at least the roads were clear all the way down the motorway. We got to Gatwick around 6AM with a departure time of 10AM, Carly my girlfriend didn't know where i was taking her, it was a complete surprise. We checked in, our flight was to Verona so naturally she thought i'd booked a city break, she was pretty happy with that. So when our flight landed and a small Italian guy was stood waiting with my name on a board she got a little bit confused again, around an hour later we rounded a corner to what can only be described as a "horizon filled with water" she exclaimed..."It's Lake Garda isn't it!" "You got me" i replied.

Anyway enough of this ridiculous chatter, this is what you really want to see. I've put together the best 6 photos from the trip.

We stayed in Toscolano Maderno

Our hotel was http://www.hotel-villamaria.it/ and i could not recommend it high enough.

Peace guys

The Girl Got Talent!

Two weeks ago i was by the shores of Lake Garda in Italy, an amazing place i will be posting pictures of my trip very soon. Here is one my Lady snapped of me whilst i was deep in concentration mode. The Girl did good.

A Big Ass Fire

A few weeks ago we were called to a big heap of wood burning, it was so big the bosses decided to let it burn itself out, unfortunately we had to sit babysitting it all night, i being the professional chap i am took this opportunity to snap this shot.

What do you guys think?
