A Mountain Bike Film: Lee Quarry
I liked the aesthetics of video with DSLR’s so I recently dug deep into my pockets and purchased a Panasonic Lumix GH1. I now need to practice lots before I head out to India as volunteer videographer for Raleigh International in July. This is my first practice. The video follows Patrick mountain biking at Lee Quarry on his Ragley Mmmbop bike. I also took along my glidetrack. I’m looking forward to lots more DSLR filmming and getting to know the Panasonic GH1 a little better.
Lands End to Manchester: Summary of my LEJOG first half.
Day 1- Lands End to Lanlivery Puddle. Saturday 17th April 2010
Very late start about 12:30pm, drove down from campsite in Lanlivery Puddle, paid the parking fee at Lands End then dawdled some more. Got photo taken at sign, brilliant memento and off. Really lucky to have H with me for the first stretch to Penzance which was really nice. At Penzance I had some GPS battery issues, running down very quickly so bought some AA batteries and swapped them out. This is the cause of the dodgy numbers from Saturday. After Penzance I headed off and got trucking along. The route was very pleasant staying mostly on quiet roads.

Team Pickle dabble in a little do-gooding
Little bit of background info – Nearly 10 years ago at the age of 18 I volunteered with Raleigh International on a 3 month expedition to Belize. My experience was empowering and life changing so as a happy ‘grown up’ I have chosen to give something back to Raleigh and volunteer my time and skills on the summer 2010 expedition to India. I will be living in the heart of some of the most remote areas, working as part of a team who will facilitate the growth and development of the young people on expedition as they work on sustainable community and environmental projects.
Serious Fun Road Trip Video
I’ve been reminiscing a little recently, looking through old photos, and decided I wanted to make a little reminder of our 2004-05 serious fun road trip adventure. I had so many photos sitting on our hard drive I just decided to stitch them all together in chronological order to create a little video of our 9 month trip in 6.30 minutes.
Algonquin Park Photomotion Video
It has taken a while but here is our photo & video trip log from Algonquin Park Canada. The footage is a combination of photographs and video. All taken using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Music is Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim.
Paddling in Algonquin Park Canada – 2009
17 days in the Canadian backcountry within Algonquin Park. It was our first ever canoe trip but we’ve already started discussing the possibility of buying our own canoe…but surely then we would also need a van to help us transport it and us around. We better get saving. Here are a selection of our photos illustrating the ups and the downs. A fantastic trip!
Hannah’s Big Bro Gets Married
My Big Bro & the lovely Julie were married on Friday 7th August 2009. This is a little photomotion video of their perfect day. It contains no actual video footage but is made up entirely of photographs. There’s over 2,000 images but i’ve lost count of exactly how many. Music is ’1234′ by Feist
Lee Quarry, trial by Quarrymen.
Lee Quarry, Bacup….a dissused quarry doing nothing, with lots of steep banks and loose rocks, what could we do with that they thought? As part of the Pennine Lancashire Adrenalin Gateway, they turned part of it into mtb course and a really intersting one too. A visit was well over due after numerous friends have waxed lyrical about the place. Time to pack the motor and get ourselves over there quick smart. Sunday saw the arrival of Team Pickle at Bacup.
Striding the Edge
My dad has wanted to hike Helvellyn & Striding Edge for as long as he can remember so this bank holiday weekend the weather looked good and we decided to tick it off the list! Two days later and my thighs still ache!
Celebrating NYE on the Isle of Skye
A great hiking, eating and relaxing trip with friends to the Isle of Skye over the NY holidays. We stayed in Fistavaig Bay, hiked on the edges of the Cullins and managed to squeeze in a whiskey tasting trip to the Talisker Distillery. Big thumbs up and already planning where we can go next year!
