Apologies for a non-photography related post, but if the weather holds, then tomorrow I’m setting off on a bit of an adventure. I’m part of a relay team attempting a world first swim from the Channel Islands to England. Details of the swim are in the local news story shared here and I’ll put links to the charity fundraisers in the comments below.

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, due to mechanical issues with our pilot boat, the swim has been aborted. To say that the team is gutted after months of training and planning, doesn’t begin to describe how we feel.

A team of elite long distance swimmers including a Swanage lifeguard is preparing to take on a gruelling 60 mile relay swim from Alderney in the Channel Islands to Swanage in Dorset, in a bid to achieve a world first

While looking for some shots to illustrate an article I was writing, I came across this one taken last autumn in Bannau Brycheiniog / the Brecon Beacons. Such a beautiful area, I really need to spend more time here.

We've been lucky so far on the .co.uk Yorkshire Coast workshop, and enjoyed a cracking sunrise at Staithes this morning. Fingers crossed for continued good weather!

I came across this previously unprocessed image from 2024, while tidying up my hard drive. This is the church at Vik in Iceland, just before a blizzard hit. Looking forward to being back in Iceland next year - albeit a different region.
