The best thing...

Interesting end of year chat about important events and moments of 2011. For me this is definitely one of the most important things that has happened and saved hours of wasted time getting between London and the S Coast. Welcome to the Hindhead Tunnel! The gasping sound at the end of the clip is crazy teenager who's been trying to hold his breath right the way through..apparently the latest challenge.

Mountain Man

Preparing for the Haute Route trip next year, Guy skins up a mountain in Tignes, gets to the top desperate for a drink and realises that he's forgotten his wallet. Amazingly the restaurant provided vin chaud on the house!

Heading to the Alps

Driving to Tignes today, good trip until last 10km when chains needed. Masses of snow. Can't remember the last time I needed chains to get up the hill.

Happy Christmas

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas and a prosperous 2012.

Christmas trees

No Christmas tree this year but a Christmas twig! Shot with hipstamatic on new iphone 4S, massive improvement in quality of camera.
