Not June

October 13, 2013

After a helluva summer and hiatus from this blog, I’m back on a rainy, flat Sunday afternoon. First off, here’s some of the pix that didnt make it into the June project files. Trying to take a decent photo everyday was such uplifting and fun thing to do, it’s not half as stressful as you […]

Deer on the doorstep at Tibbetts

April 7, 2013

In this modern world the pursuit of happiness is mandatory for contemporary humans. The elusive chase for an antidote to sadness leads us to consume and consume, even when we know insane that is. The old admiralty lookout and signalling station (know as Tibbetts) on Lundy; is a remote granite building, sitting in splendid isolation, […]

This will be the last time

February 24, 2013

Remember in January, when Cotty was riding giants and McNamara was on the front page of the national media, at a 55, 65, 85* foot beach break, ffs, (*small, medium or large – you choose…). The same swell crept into all the little nooks and crannies of the north Devon coast and for three days […]

A Post about a Post

July 18, 2012

I don’t know why but photographing this place has become a bit of an obsession of mine. Maybe it is because I had so much fun here in the eighties, when there were a lot less surfers around and getting it with just one or two mates out was not unusual, especially during the week. […]

Secrets are what a secret is

June 30, 2012

It’s the end of June and my feet are still white. Even by British standards, the weather has been the hottest trending topic with everyone you meet. As surfers we are profoundly effected by the arbitrary moods of the weather or more specifically the wind and the consequences it has as it passes over the […]

Blue Bells in Dingily Dell

May 16, 2012

Living in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) can sometimes make you complacent about how wonder-full the place is. Although the North Devon AONB is essentially the coastal strip from Exmoor National Park to the border with Kernow, it does reach inland to include some gorgeous spots like the Hartland cliff top plateau, Barnstaple […]
