fishing trip

In Switzerland they have deep, deep bins about 3 metres. today Rebecka dropped her glove in the bin whilst putting the rubbish in.  After visiting my friend Fred and mentioning it to him he came up with the great idea of using a fishing rod.

so if you can picture me and rebecka, litterally fishing out of a deep, smelly bin in the snow I´m sure it will brighten your day.

Dropping in....

This was NOT lens flare.  The sun seemd to be reflecting of the low icy mist  creating some sort of rainbow around the sun!  I’ve never seen this before, it was truly breathtaking.  My camera work doesn’t do it justice.

Champery in all its glory. I’ve been hiking around with my touring skis. Seen some amazing scenery and had some great snow. here are some pictures taken from the last few days.

Our trip down to Switzerland involved lots of talking nonsese to stay awake, stopping in Brugge to sample the legendary truffles. (Which we both vouch are the best we have ever tasted!) a Belgian beer, and also to see if it really is as crap as Colin Farrel makes out. Conclusion being that the the tartiflette, waffles , beer and truffles more than make up for it!

This weekend was a super muddy one.

Here my ‘howies’ clothes ‘Scott’ Voltage & goggles were really put through their muddy paces!

Many thanks to both companies for their support in 2009!

Today we went riding. While everyone else was sat by their fires, we were playing bikes. It was my last ride before I head out to the mountains in Switzerland for the ski season. It was wet, cold, windy, slippery, rooty and drifty. just perfect.

How have you earned your sunday slouch by the fire?
