A GoPro Swedish Adventure
At the end of October life was getting a little bit hectic so we made a last minute decision to recharge our internal batteries with a short wilderness trip to Sweden. We hired a canoe and made the most of being outside. Patrick got the chance to practice making feather sticks and together we played lots of Gin Rummy.
During our 5 days camping we got to paddle, chop wood, make fires and toast marshmellows so now our souls have definitely been recharged with a warm smokey glow.
Whilst we were there we took time out to experiment with our GoPro HERO camera and Read more on A GoPro Swedish Adventure…
Alpification: A Mountain Biking Film
Finally made a little time to create this little edit of our recent mountain biking holiday to the French Alps. We spent the first week in a catered chalet with our own guides at The White Room in Sainte Foy and the second week self catered in Morzine. Both were fantastic and quite different in terms of trails. We completed over 5000m of descent on the first day alone, we got through 4 sets of brake pads each, ate too much cheese, celebrated my 30th birthday and topped it all off with a proposal of marriage! Not a bad trip.
Serious Fun! A 9 month road trip – 2004/05
We had been together for nearly two years living, loving, climbing, surfing and boarding. Summer 2003 was spent slack lining in the loacl park, this gave us a taste for the stress free lifestyle, a plan was hatched, to bunk off work for 9 months (or as long as lasted). The plan, 1. spend the snow season in Fernie relishing the powder days 2. stock up for a trip down the Baja Peninsular surfing, 3. surviving Baja we aimed to tackle the best climbing America had to offer.
Hannah’s Moroccan Road Trip – 2002
I went on a 5 week road trip around Morocco with my friend Suey during the summer holidays of my second year at uni. It was quite an experience. A bit like marmite I both loved it and hated it.
Hannah in Tanzania – 2001
My first summer holidays at Uni and I managed to head off to Tanzania & Zanzibar for 5 weeks with my friend Suey. It was my first proper backpacking travelling trip and I loved it.
Hannah’s gap year trip to Belize – 2000
In 2000 I went away with Raleigh International for 3 months to Belize. I was 18 and it was my first real time away from home. I took part in various environmental and community projects including tracking the Fer-De-Lance snake, thatching the roof of a remote visitors centre and plastering the walls of a rural mountain school. It was amazing experience and one that sowed the bug of all things travel and culture. On my return to Blighty I was more than ready to start my degree in Social Anthropology.
