In every single photo taken by Dan Barham! He’s work is unbelievable, not just because of his amazing camera skills but also because of the stunning places he gets to go to! His photo’s are a mountain bikers dream.
Below are a couple of teasers… to find more of this goodness check his website out and let you mind wonder…….
I relunctly left the house this afternoon to cycle to Tesco’s to get much needed food supplies such as milk, washing powder and muffins!
It was blowing a gail but the sun was out so i wasn’t about to waste the day stuck inside.
Leaving my house i cycled up the big hill that always makes my legs burn and heart quiver with the added exersion. I then turned right onto the country lanes and pedalled along no handed singing to Two Door Cinema club that was blaring out of my head phones. With the crisp blue sky above me and fields of sheep look aimously into nothing to the side, i felt really content.
I then left the lanes and was back onto a main road. With a gusty tail wind i hung on tight and rode along at a rapid pace. The final decent towards Tesco’s is a long one, so is always fun to get into the tuck position!
Locking my bike up, i swiftly made my way round the supermarket trying to dodge screaming kids and random people in oil stained jogging trousers! Not a strong look. Luckly i had pre-made a list, so it was a straight forward operation that i managed in just over 5 minutes.
Back on the trusty cross bike i then rode through town and then onto the slog of a 2 mile climb that takes me back to my house. A combination of wearing far too many layers and feeling like my lungs had collapsed, made me want to get off and push, but somehow i managed to keep the pedals turning and conquer that bastard climb. It never gets easier, though not particularly steep it’s just one of those dragging hills.
Once back at home, i got the kettle on, put Blue Crush 2 in the vd player and treated myself to a choccy chip muffin. All in all an ace way to round of my superb Sunday jaunt!
FACT!!! I love clothing with clever pockets – functional and well considered.
Continuing with my research, i was looking at clever uses of pockets, here’s what i discovered:- (quite varied i know)
I’m starting my research ready to arm myself with ideas that might help me with designing some bicycle threads for howies.
Thought i would check out Darcy as she’s super cool and always looks ace on and off the bike. Here are some pics of her shredding. She’s sponsored by Dakine, so gets to wear some wicked pieces of kit! Tres jealous
Spelt with a ‘Z’ for extra emphasis! That’s rhythms, well kind of!! amazing, watch out Jay-Z, new rapper on the block.
I ran 5 miles today in my lunch break, am feeling it now and my knee hurts but was ace!! The weather was stunning and scenery even better!!
Need to take my camera next time.
Summer has trotted off leaving wind, rain and darkness to fill her boots! I haven’t blogged for ages, on here or my website and to be honest i felt the urge to. After finishing Uni this summer i felt pretty burnt out and un-inspired. But a new chapter is a foot, and i’m hot stepping it over to Wales tomorrow.
I have been really fortunate and got a job with howies the clothing company which i’ll be starting soon. I’m looking forward to begin part of a company that i have respected for many years. I also feel pretty lucky to be moving somewhere that is outdoor orientated and overflowing with amazing scenery, it will make the transition easier.
So Cornwall this is not a goodbye, just a see ya later. You’ve been very good to me thank you.
As for the blog, new adventures and new faces will no doubt ignite that inspiration to capture moments through film and font.
Plus the mountain biking is off the hook there!!
Here’s a link to my new website that showcases my portfolio, CAD skills and also my blog which i will update from there.
Enjoy
