Read MoreCanyon X update
Well I was out shooting Canyon X yesterday morning and again this morning. In both cases the sunrises were crap, but I reckon I’ve still got some cracking photos (haven’t had chance to process them yet). This place is a lot of fun to shoot.

Read MoreCanyon X.. A New discovery… a first ascent… a virgin site!
For rock/mountain climbers there is something special about being the first person to ascend a new climb, well I love it when I discover somewhere that is new or relatively undiscovered.

I have just moved my blog site from blogger to wordpress based on the advice of Christian Fletcher (thanks Christian). One of the fundamental differences between the two blogging sites was the ease at which you can leave comments on WordPress blogs as opposed to the Blogger system where you needed to register etc. to leave a comment.

Ever been or near the cockpit when a pilot is ready to take off or land? Doesn’t matter whether they are a professional or amateur pilot, they all do the same thing… their pre-takeoff or pre-landing checklist. Doesn’t matter whether they have flown thousands of flights, they still do it to make sure they don’t forget something silly. So have …
