This was taken on our trek in Snowdonia National Park. Notice the grey clouds cutting off the peaks, we were climbing our way into that. I have a bone to pick with the film developing place I go to... they developed this roll in black and white (not what I asked for). | ![]() |
![]() | It got really stormy during the course of the day. From left to right this is Simon, Sally, and Hillary. Note: Sally was not smiling twenty minutes earlier when we were all clawing our way up a muddy cliff while the rain was pelting us! |
This cascade appeared spontaneously as we were walking by. Gotta love cloudbursts. | ![]() |
![]() | You know you are in trouble when the path just abruptly stops at a rock face. I usually just hope one of us read the map wrong, but in this situation we had read the map perfectly well. I had been warned about this bit before we broke camp, but it really wasn't all that bad. When the hail storm struck during this climb I remember muttering to myself "friggin murphy's law". At the top of this thing our group spilt in two; those who felt they could make the summit and those who didn't. Any guesses as to which path I took??? |
The summit! The wind was blasting so hard I could barely hear people when they were yelling to me, visibility was awful, and it was pretty darn cold. No hail though, just ice crystals floating around in the wind - which in my opinion is worse. | ![]() |
![]() | If you think I look dazed and confused in this picture, you are right! I was too fatigued (both mentally and physically) to figure out how to get off this silly little ledge. |
This is the whole Snowdonia group, not suprisingly it's raining (might have even been hailing at this point... I don't remember). Regardless it was certainly unpleasant weather and our lunatic leaders were still in shorts! | ![]() |

Okay so this was taken at the water polo tournament in Compiegne, France. We took third place out of nine. In this shot I am blue 4 and for some reason which I still don't understand I got ejected after I decked the guy in the white cap. He was in my way and screwing up what would have been a great shot, something needed to be done. I apologize for the gritty photo quality, my good camera wasn't working and I had to buy a disposable one. | ![]() |
![]() | I should never play goal, this was a joke. I blocked about half of the shots which got thrown at me which is nothing to be proud of. We lost this game. |
This is Dora, myself, and Cat after a long day of waterpolo. Both are medical students at Imperial, really nice folk. We were some of the few players who did not drink themselves into oblivion. | ![]() |
![]() | In Compiegne they build a mini-petting zoo in the center of the town. This is me and a horse amusingly named Xeaphod Beeblebrox - yup, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has made it out to this end of the planet (don't forget your towel). |
This was the main Cathedral in Compiegne. One of the most amazing structures I have ever seen. | ![]() |
