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.http://www.robertpenridge.com/blogger/2010/02/verona-lago-di-garda.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rob)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20190556.post-487748443360107578Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:10:00 +00002010-02-09T23:29:26.707ZSo 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.

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.http://www.robertpenridge.com/blogger/2009/08/horsing-around.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rob)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20190556.post-8852911072926356796Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:32:00 +00002009-06-06T19:34:24.687+01:00Here's a link to the teaser video for my 2009 snowboarding season.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 http://www.robertpenridge.com/blogger/2008/01/york.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Lou)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20190556.post-5783905971304108033Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:11:00 +00002008-02-22T19:13:49.354ZRather than head abroad we thought we would check out more of England over the New Year's break.
