Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
A couple of weeks back I spent three days at Ard Rock Enduro 2023 in the Yorkshire Dales here in the UK. It was three days on the hillside taking photographs.

This week I spent a few hours taking photos at the Army Cycling Enduro. This was a multiple stage mash up event with a great atmosphere.

The links will take you to my Roots and Rain pages where you’ll find tens of thousands of my images from these events.
