It is a little known fact that there are trolls all around the Abruzzo province/region of Italy, but with a little knowledge and a lot of patience you might be able to track them down and catch a glimpse of them.
As in most societies, there are nice trolls and naughty trolls. Plus there is a [...]
This year I got a Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash which is Canon’s most powerful flash unit for SLR’s
It will work great with my Canon 40D which is a digital SLR. I have always had an interest in photography and did a photography course in Italy last October. Plus I would like to [...]
I did the Roade Pool Sprint Triathlon today. It was my 2nd Sprint distance triathlon and I really enjoyed it. I can see me doing a lot more Triathlons on 2010
I got up at 0615, left my house at 0635 and got to the school at Roade at 0650. I thought I would [...]
Well I’ve done 1 anyway.
As stated in my previous posts, by way of winning a prize in a competition, I got free entry into the For Goodness Shakes! Sponsored Sprint Triathlon (750m swimming, 20km cycling, 5km running) at Dorney Lake, Eton with less than 2 weeks notice!
I read the letter carefully which stated that registration [...]
I bought a new mountain bike in January and just 5 months on I’ve bought a road bike!
Over the past 18 months I have competed in several Adventure Races which are great fun, but there is always an element of luck in them because competitors can choose multiple routes. So I would like to try a [...]
As mentioned in my earlier posts, I decided to go on a 5 day photography course in Italy from 30th September to 4th October.
The morning of the 30th September started with:
Taxi ride at 03:10 from my house to the MK temporary coach station (temporary because the new one is being rebuilt following a fire)
Coach from [...]

As my 5 day photography course/holiday in Italy is next week, I thought it would be a good idea to arrange the travel to and from the airports.
Unfortunately I can’t leave my car at Stanstead airport where I am flying out of because I’ll coming back via Gatwick airport. I got quotes for taxis to [...]
I have some nice camera equipment and I love taking photographs, but I haven’t been on a course. So I have been looking at courses on the Internet and I stumbled upon this one by frui which is a 5 day course, based in Abruzzo, Italy.
2 bonuses of this course are:
I haven’t been to Italy [...]
I have the next 2 weeks off as holiday from work but no plans. I was hoping to stay in my apartment in Nice, France for a few days, but it got rented out again as soon as the previous tenant had moved out.
A friend has invited me to go walking with him in the [...]
It’s my birthday on Tuesday (31) and I can’t think of anything I want for a present. Any ideas?
Backup plan is a Herman Miller Mirra chair.
Unfortunately I am going to miss this race because Steve wasn’t sure if he could attend it, due to his current work situation – he might be in Singapore on this date and it’s a bit far to pop back to England just for a race.
The upside is that due to puncture issues on the [...]
Another early start as we headed over to St. Francis School, Pewsey in North Wiltshire for round 3 (of 4) of the 2009 Questar’s Adventure Race series. Once again it was a nice location with great scenery and lots of hills!
I had forgotten to take my Camelbak with me (I’d left it at home) and [...]
I had the Abel and Cole Lemon Drizzle cake last week. It wasn’t bad, but didn’t have enough lemon flavour and had far too much sugar (I could feel the course grains, although it wasn’t unpleasant).
Yesterday I had the Coconut and Lime cake. This was really nice and had a balanced flavour.
I might have to [...]
