Boxing Day 2022 – Festive 500 Ride #3
I’m doing the Rapha Festive 500 this year – riding 500KM between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. This was my third ride on Boxing Day which was gloriously sunny if still cold. This was a ride between Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast and Norwich. The full route is over on Strava. So far…

Trent Park in the Snow
It properly snowed in London last night for the first time in a few years, so I went out in the pre-dawn snow on my E-MTB and my drone to capture some of the beauty of the countryside around Trent Country Park. There’s a lovely path leading from close to Chase Farm Hospital that takes…

Repairing a Garmin Edge Mount
[Now updated with changed fix!] This week I had an accident on my bike and crashed in the rain on my commute to work. No damage to my bike… or to me. But my Garmin Edge 1030 bike computer came off the worst, getting detached from its mount on impact, and damaging the mount in…

Waves
A short slow motion video shot with my Pixel 6 Pro over Christmas. Not the biggest waves in the world, but they’re always lovely slowed down.

Teston: Mist and Flooding
Various parts of southern England have experienced significant rainfall over the last few days, and along the Medway, the river had burst its banks in a few places (although without serious impact from what I could see). The video above was taken in the morning as the mist still rose from the river giving a…

North Norfolk
I actually got out of my home town for the first time in months recently, to visit my parents on the North Norfolk coast. While I was there I dusted down my drone at shot the footage above in Sheringham and Blakeney. Note that while flying in Blakeney, my drone came “under attack” from some…

Playing with GoPro’s TimeWarp Feature
TimeWarp does a kind of timelapse for motion, but smooths everything out. I still wanted a ride that took over an hour to be faster, so there’s some post-processing here to further speed up large sections to get a video under 90 seconds.

Binaural Walk
On Friday I went for my daily constitutional, and I recorded it in binaural sound. Play back the video above to hear a short version, with some photographic visualisation. You need to wear headphones! The binaural effect doesn’t work without them.

Driving Under Lockdown
As the roads are currently much emptier during the UK coronavirus lockdown, in general terms it’s actually somewhat safer out there. The air is clearer and there’s much less traffic. Of course only those who are doing work that can’t be done from home, and those either shopping or doing other critical chores are supposed…

Wester Ross
In what now seems like an age ago, although it was actually just a couple of weeks ago, I spent the week in Wester Ross, a part of the Scottish Highlands that I hadn’t really visited before. It’s that part of the western Highlands that includes Torridon, Gairloch and Ullapool. I was based in a…

Attaching a Peak Design Strap to a Sony RX100
I made the above video because I had been struggling to find a way to attach a Peak Design Leash strap to a Sony RX100 camera. I solved it using angling split rings, as they were the only rings small enough to go through the loops on the RX100 camera body. Yes – my RX100…

Just A Regular Cycle Ride Home
I turned on my bike camera this evening for the first time in ages, and a single ride pretty much captured everything in a single shot. Two separate cars turning across me either not indicating at all, or indicating half-way through the manoeuvre. A bus entering a box junction before it can ensure it can…
