New Journal 56 – Durham Cathedral Note: Remember that the 1.7gb digital blending megapack is still available! – Today we had the wonderful privilege of being shown around the very grand, Durham Cathedral. We explored the darker, rarely seen corridors and viewed the main hall from an amazing spot. Even if I’d left the camera […]

New Journal 22 – From place to place Like passengers on a train, we’ve watched the scenery of our lives in the last 3 years flash by, ever changing. Sounds, smells, sights, languages – little feels familiar. The idea of a ‘normal’ life seems so alien to me now. Sometimes I feel like I yearn […]

New Journal 14 – Catching up & HDR Book As the Chilean border still remains closed, we’ll be using today to catch up on things we haven’t had the time to do recently. My blog needs updating slightly. I’m going to organise the chapters of my HDR book. I started writing it 9 months ago. […]

New Journal 9 – Self Belief The heavy rain we’re experiencing today is giving us a good opportunity to plan without distractions. Tomorrow we’ll head north up this thin country, continuing our adventure around lesser known areas. It’s funny, Rachel and I consider ourselves adventurous to some degree. Yet, in our accommodation there is an […]

New Journal 6 – No words Sniffling and slightly feverish, Rachel and I dragged ourselves to a local doctor in El Calafete on Tuesday. We knew it wasn’t anything serious. Hiking in the snow and rain and sleeping in a damp tent probably left us with a cold. We were looking for alleviation. Being sick […]

New Journal 6 – Rachel the Scared Stalked by predators in the dead of night with barely the faintest light to guide our way, it was more than likely this would be our last trip. All manner of beast haunted these hills and fields, with each one licking their lips at the two walking meals […]

New Journal 5 – The Road to El Chalten Sitting at my computer one morning in our hotel in El Chalten, I was lucky to have enough internet to check my emails and load facebook –  a rare occurrence in this internet-starved town. The manager of the hotel walked by as I was responding to […]
