The Salt Marshes of North Norfolk and the Supermoon
I spent a few hours out in Blakeney and Cley next the Sea, flying my drone today, and shooting both some stills and video of the landscape there. The marshes remain busy in the winter with many birds either passing through or spending the winter months amongst the marshes. The colour of the salt marshes…

Dave Yates’ Framebuilding Course
Earlier this summer, I spent a week in rural Lincolnshire building a bicycle frame, from scratch, starting with a box of steel tubes. The resulting frame was painted, and then I carefully assembled the bike from parts. The bike you see above is the fruit of those labours, and I’ve written a much longer than…

Six Day Cycling 2016
I went to the inaugural Six Day London event last year, and wrote up my experiences (in a blog I oddly didn’t publish for a couple of months).

London Nocturne 2016
For 2016, the organisers of the London Nocturne (aka the Smithfield Nocturne), moved it from its previous course around Smithfield market, and closer into the City of London on a new circuit set between St Paul’s Cathedral, Bank tube station and the Guildhall. As a result, the course was flatter without the slight drag that…

Kyrgyzstan
I recently got to visit the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan for work, and had a great few days. Clearly, I took my camera, and I’ve published a short piece about it, on a separate page under a new heading. So click here, or navigate via Writing above. While it should work fine on any…
