The London Wetland Centre

The London Wetland Centre is a stunning 100 acre site in Barnes, run by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Many birds and other wildlife have taken permanent residency at the centre and hundreds of others pass through on annual migration routes providing great opportunities to practice wildlife photography. I headed to Barnes with my friend Matt, who […]

Shine Night Walk 2014

On September 27th I was lucky enough to be a volunteer photographer for the Cancer Research Shine Night Walk. Any mass participation event has a buzz about it but with thousands of people fundraising to end cancer, whilst remembering and honouring loved ones, it meant that there was a very special atmosphere in London. The […]

Surfing St Ives

I’d had my first taste of surfing in St Ives a year ago and, despite a two hour lesson, I didn’t manage to stand up once. I returned this year determined to catch a wave and and conquer the world of beginners surfing. I couldn’t have picked a nicer day with barely a cloud in […]

Land’s End to Sennen Cove

The walk from Land’s End, the most south-westerly point in Britain, to Sennen Cove is one of my favourites. Land’s End, despite the ugly tourist attractions, is still a lovely place with some gorgeous views and the walk across the cliffs, just metres from huge drops at times, is stunning. This look out point is fantastic […]

The Minack Theatre

“That cliff over there, why don’t we dig a theatre out of the granite to sit 750 people and put on productions of Shakespeare?” “I’m not sure that’s entirely realistic Ms Cade.” “Just you wait.” Is how I imagine the conversation between Minack founder Rowena Cade and fellow workers went. And she was absolutely on the money. […]

Marching up St Michael’s Mount

St Michael’s Mount (or Karrek Loos yn Koos if you’re practicing your Cornish) sits protecting the bay of Marazion. Surrounded by calm, turquoise seas in the summer and angry, grey waters in the winter it harbours stories of myth and legend dating back centuries. The story goes that a mythical giant named Cormoran once lived on […]

Exploring Porthleven

The Cornish coast is dotted with idyllic fishing villages and Porthleven, the most southerly port on the island of Great Britain, is as charming as any. With golden sand beaches stretching off in to the distance, fishermen selling their catches in the harbour and some top eateries it’s a lovely place to while away an […]

Road trippin’ the Great Ocean Road – Six must see sights

There are few greater things than a good road trip and when my friend Sharon and I realised we would be in Oz at the same time we couldn’t think of anything better then taking ourselves off to The Great Ocean Road to have an explore. The road, which was built to commemorate the services […]

Trekking in the Blue Mountains

There are few things better than sightseeing in Sydney but after a couple of weeks enjoying city life I was really looking forward to escaping to the great outdoors of Australia and the Blue Mountains National Park. My new travel buddy, Har, and I headed to the town of Katoomba for a couple of nights. […]

The MoonWalk 2014

Last Saturday I was lucky enough to be invited by The Tootsie Rollers back stage for the brilliant concert held for all of the inspirational fundraisers completing The MoonWalk 2014. The 20,000 people packed in a tent waiting to complete a 26.2 mile walk were treated to brilliant music and inspirational speeches, just in case they needed […]

A birthday bridge climb

Being in Sydney for the big ‘three-oh’ was always going to be a lot more fun than the rainy UK, but little did I know that I would be spending it almost 500 feet above Sydney Harbour on one of the most iconic bridges in the world. I was under strict instructions that I wasn’t […]
