  • Trent Park in the Snow

    Trent Park in the Snow

    It properly snowed in London last night for the first time in a few years, so I went out in the pre-dawn snow on my E-MTB and my drone to capture some of the beauty of the countryside around Trent Country Park. There’s a lovely path leading from close to Chase Farm Hospital that takes…

  • Examining My Facebook Downloads

    One very good consequence of the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica story is that a lot of people are discovering the surprisingly large amount of data that Facebook holds on them. The BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones was “somewhat shocked” to see what it had on him. And The Verge has a good piece on the subject with particular reference…

This was an organised trip via “Secret Adventures“, an internet Meetup group. We set off from Moo Canoes’ base in Limehouse, heading up Limehouse Cut heading in…

  • Cyclo Cross World Cup – Milton Keynes 2014 – Part 1

    Over the weekend, it was the Milton Keynes round of the UCI’s Cyclo Cross World Cup. It’s the first time a round of this event has taken place outside mainland Europe. So definitely worth a 30 minute train ride up to see it! The event took place on a specially built course in Campbell Park,…

  • Aldwych on Exposure

    I’m continuing to play around with the best way of displaying photos online, and a new kid on the block is Exposure. They use high resolution photos that fully utilise screen real estate to make pleasingly simple photo layouts. Interestingly, although they’re free for your first three sets of photos, you need to pay after…
