Well other things too priority in my life over the past 4 months or so but now Im looking forward to the year ahead and getting excited about our first real trip in April to the Lake District, and following that a trip to Slovenia to celebrate (?) the year in which many of us turn 40.
Sadly the last time I donned my boots in anger was back in September when three of us went up to Stonethwaite again for a couple of days and walked up Castle Crag and on the following day up to Allen Crags. It was a great trip and for once I didnt have to take all of the photographs which was a bonus.
Heres a video slideshow of that trip, youtube wont host it as its shock horror 12 minutes long. Or just dull. Not sure!
The video clips were just shot on my iPhone, now theres no excusing the poor camera work, but overall Im not overly impressed with the iPhone as a camera and will be looking out for something better in the near future. Widescreen and better quality would be great to have for this years trips, whether I can something affordable and light enough is another matter.
