What a day. I've taken dozens of photos and I'm going to have trouble choosing 8 for my project for my photography course! Iceland is so photogenic 😊 I woke really early again, with my brain buzzing about our plans for the day ahead, moving to our next Airbnb and visiting various places along the... Continue Reading →
We had an easy day today. Well... I say 'easy', but we've walked 10k! But at least nothing scared me today or was strenuous, and I'm not feeling poorly any more, although my nose is still streaming. With my red nose from blowing it, and sore eyes and skin from the relentless wind, I'm not... Continue Reading →
Today's trip was John's choice. That's why I spent part of the day scared! That said, it was an awesome trip... the monster minibus was fun, the ice cave was stunning and, looking back on it, the snowmobile was a fantastic experience. I was pleased to get back alive though 😉 After another awful night's... Continue Reading →
It's been so windy today, we could hardly stand up at times. John's comment was... 'I couldn't live here!' The Beast from the East was a definitely a little fluffy pussy cat in comparison to the wind here today. That said, at least it didn't rain, although we had a few snow flurries. We got...

It's been a long day with some ups and downs, but we're now settled in our Airbnb in Iceland. After a disturbed night's sleep, I woke at 6.00, then realised it was really 5.00 because the clocks had gone forward... ugh! I was hot all night because we forgot to turn the air conditioning down,... Continue Reading →
Will this all fit in 2 hold bags and 2 cabin bags? Ice axes, crampons, helmets, hiking boots, camera, lenses, 2 tripods, waterproofs, down jackets, fleeces, clothes, wash kit, iPad, chargers... the list seems endless! And the answer is... No! We decided to pay for an additional hold bag, which has made things much easier.... Continue Reading →
We've had an eventful weekend. Warren and Steph, who we haven't see for a while, came to stay with their little girl, Daisy. It must have been a while because last time we saw Daisy she was a small cute 3-year old, climbing her first mountain, and now she's a tall, pretty 6-year old who... Continue Reading →
As I've been writing a review of some photos I've taken for my photography course and many of them were taken on a Welshot academy evening, I thought I'd share my experience of the event. The event was the Oil, smoke, water and macro - creative photography evening in Menai Bridge at the end of... Continue Reading →
We're off on holiday soon, so it's time to get the blog going again. John and I were both 50 earlier in the year, which we decided was a good excuse to treat ourselves to a trip to Iceland. I've always wanted to go there so I'm very excited... geysers, waterfalls, icebergs, glaciers, mountains, ice... Continue Reading →
The drive up to Wissant near Calais was uneventful. Last time we stayed at the camper van aire in Wissant it was every busy and we just managed to squeeze in. It was busy this time too but, thankfully, we got the last proper space. We then wandered into the town for lunch. It was... Continue Reading →
