Had a few chores to run in Vancouver before I could head up to Whistler back in Jan '09 and I took a bunch of photos while I was running around town. Was fortunate to be jet lagged and wake up early enough to get some pretty cool shots of a fog that came in off the ocean.Here's the pics.

Here's a bunch o miscellaneous pics I took in London back in January 09 on my way through to Canada.

So I finished working at American Express in London in early December 2008 and decided to go home and see the family for Christmas before heading to Canada for another season of snowboarding.Here's the pics...

Wow. Two posts in one day... I better stop before I do myself an injury...In November 08 Chris, Mon, Rich and I headed off to Verona and Lake Garda in Italy. It was a pretty easy going weekend and pretty darned cold which meant a lot of our time was spent warming up in coffee shops and bars.Here's the pics.

So I just got back from Lake Como (...well about 18 months ago) and thought I'd put the pics up. I was joined by Chris, Liz, Mon and Ange - thanks to Mon for organising the whole thing and taking a whole bunch of the pics below and also to Chris for his ever-exciting driving abilities.Despite the poor weather and the chilly temperatures we still managed to have a blast. Most of the our time was

Went horse riding with Cristine a couple of weeks ago up near Red Rock. The ride took us through a canyon, up a mountain to Fossil Ridge where we stopped to eat and check out the amazing panoramic views of Las Vegas and the entire valley it sits in. We picked a pretty good day for it too as the sunset on the way down was choice bro! By the time we got back to the corral it was just after dusk.

Here's a link to the teaser video for my 2009 snowboarding season. It's pretty much the bail section of the video. Enjoy, or don't.http://www.vimeo.com/5021933

I took the camera and video gear up to Blackcomb park the other day (19 Feb) for a trial run. I wanted to test out the super-slow-mo feature on the handycam - you can see the video here. I've also posted the pics here. Below is my first (and very rough) attempt at putting together a sequence. I think it came out pretty well considering I spent hardly any time on it and didn't really take the

I had heard rumours that there were actually mountains South of Scotland. I didn't beleive the rumours myself, so Kris, Dean and I set out to put an end to them. We was wrong.On the Saturday morning we drove up to Liverpool to check out the nightlife with the intention of hiking up Mt Snowdon the following day. The idea was that Liverpool looked quite close to Mt Snowdon so we would be able to

Ok, first of all - Malta is not Cyprus. There. Now that that's been taken care of we can get on with it. Last bank holiday weekend in 2008 Lou and I finished work early and jumped on the next plane to Malta. It was hard not to immediately like Malta, we arrived into the warm balmy night air - something I'm yet to experience in England. After a cheap yet eventful cab ride into the city we had

It's been awhile since this site got updated. Inbetween holidays, computer problems and my own slackness I notice I haven't posted anything in almost 6 months!? So I've got a bit of a backlog that's be going to go up over the next month or so. Watch this space.

Another long weekend, another country to conquer! This Easter break was spent with Team Gilbert (Nikki & Paul) travelling around Slovenia. On the itinerary, Ljubljana, Piran and Bled.We started the trip in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana and our hostel was in a great location. Right in the middle of the worlds largest ghetto graffiti display and next door to a goth club. We definitely felt like

We recently spent three weeks in Japan. Two weeks were spent travelling around Honshu and Hokkaido and a week was spent snowboarding in Niesko. Our top five highlights are:1. SumoFor the first time in five years two grand champions fight it out on the final day of the Tokyo New Year competition and we were in the audience. What more could we ask for on our second day in Japan? You can watch the

We caught the train early Saturday morning (12 January 2008) to York! Reputably England's most haunted town and also home to the largest cathedral in Northern Europe.Disembarking just in time to have a big English breakfast at Betty's which we reckon served the best toast we have ever eaten (big call we know but it was THAT good), we then checked out the abovementioned cathedral; the York

Rather than head abroad we thought we would check out more of England over the New Year's break. Here is what we got up to: Day 1: Friday 28 December 2007Hiring the car from Gatwick Airport so we didn't have to drive through London and we were on our way. First destination was a small town of Tenterden were we got on a little steam train heading to Bodiam Castle. Bodiam was on the agenda with

It was our third trip to Paris; given Geoff was a virgin visitor we set out showing him all the sites including:Chateau de VersaillesEiffel TowerArc de Triomphe Champs-Elysees Notre Dame Saint ChappellSeine River (by tourist boat complete with commentary)Louvre MuseumUnfortuntely the Catacombes were closed so we missed out there.One of the highlights however was on Christmas Day having brunch at

When Geoff first mentioned to Rob that he would like to spend a week on a ski holiday while he was over this way, it got a little crazy. Rob just gets so excited about this sort of thing. Plus Lou had her new board 'Betsy'. Destination for this ski trip was Meribel in the French Alps. Could things get any more fabulous? And why 'YES' they could!Prior to the trip the website was advising of the

It was another early morning flight for us on Saturday 8 December 2007 from Stansted to Munich, Germany. To make the experience more enjoyable we were once again travelling with Team Gilbert for what we hoped would be another shithouse weekend!There was a short delay in taking off; something to do with the emergency exit door where Nik & Paul were sitting (they swear they didn't do anything) so

The past week has been busy, busy, busy. We have been like little bees collecting nectar to make honey!! Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!! The week in brief:Monday 26 November 2007Geoffrey arrived today, a little jet-lagged but more than excited to be in the presence once again of Rob & Lou (we kick ass)!!! It's been almost 2 years since we have seen Geoff and it's been great catching up with him again. Rob

We haven't been up to much shenanigans lately but we thought we'd post some random pics of what we have been doing, namely:* Kicking the footy around Hyde Park with Barney, Kel & Stacey;* Baking creative cakes;* Borough Markets (jealous Von?);* Imperial War Museum;* Lord Mayor's Guy Fawkes fireworks celebrations.And on Sunday (11 November) we visited Kew Gardens. The gardens are on 300 acres, a 1
