Initially, I lived in
Welwyn but
have since relocated to Royston, 13 miles south
of Cambridge. Snowfalls
grip the UK - February, 2009.
- Travelling the UK has been an endless journey with each day offering a
new, surreal experience. Photos and text of UK hiking activities.
My work experience has taken me to Ireland, where I have spent a few
weekends exploring The Dingle Peninsula, the Burren and the Cliffs of
Moher..
