The book titled ‘Mountain Heroes: Portraits of Adventure’ is out this month, and looks yummy.

Working together with the awesome peeps at Harris + Wilson and my good buddies at A-Side Studio we ate pies, made cheese, ate pies, shot pheasants, ate pies, had a fake second christmas, ate pies and ate pies.

A very good job indeed.

The book is relaeased in a few days on September 1st and available from the usual suspects including Amazon. Rad.

So it turned out he was living basically up the end of my road in Hobart, so we got to know each other over a few coffees and then spent an afternoon hiking out to a little hut at the top of our local mountain. He is a total legend and an inspiring fella.

An awesome little job.

Here is one that didn’t quite make the cut.

What a weekend.

I had the amazing oppotunity to shoot the 2009 ‘Do Lectures’ this weekend in deepest west wales. It was an incredible event, with some incredible poeple attending, It certaintly made me more fired up than ever to get out and get on with my upcoming projects, despite the setbacks…

Money…

none

Time…

lots

ideas…

masses

So, anyway, this is a little call for help. We, myself and my good friend and execptuoately talented writer have a pretty special project coming up. It involves bicycles, the french western seaboard and surfboards. It’s codename…

The Bourgeios Bicycle Caravan

It involves peddling from here…the UK…down to france and down the west coast to the spanish border. With us we will tow laden trailers customised to carry our gear, surfboards, tents and cameras. We have time on our side masses of passion but very little money.

So this is where we need help…we need bikes…of the used variety that will take us on out journey. So if anyone out there has a second hand road/touring/hybrid/postman/anything… bike, that is needing a home and wanting an adventure, I need to hear from you. We have a little cash…so any condition is cool, if it’s broke, we can fix it.

muchus love. James
