It’s been a wierd week, I lost a mate from down south, a inspiring man with far too few years under his belt. It’s put my own mortality into perpective and made me realise we are truly blessed to be here. More now than ever I’m going to commit to making the most of the days I have, living through experience and taking some photos along the way, to hopefully, one day, inpire others to do the same.

I know Jonno would approve.

Thanks for the inspiration fella, we will miss ya. RIP.

My air miles are going through the roof and jet lag is kicking my ass.

Whilst moving about I’m working on a few personal projects in the Southern Island states, here is an insight from the first batch back from the lab…

Aotearoa – north and south, Tasmania & Bruny Island.

It is more of an acknowledgement of things to come. This paper makes me hopeful when I look at it. It makes me hopeful that I will one day light out. That I will leave behind the trappings of what becomes a daily life to literally head into the unknown. Or at the very least not forget what it means to travel. And to be in love. And to be in love with traveling.”

Jeremy Dunn – Embrocation Cycling Journal

The Bourgeois Bicycle Caravan has landed!

In the Autumn of 2009, the trio of Jimmy Bodean, Harold Hobart Hellybutt & Del Da-Foster embarked on an expedition, along the western seaboard of france, by bicycle. With trailers brimming with the nessasities (surfyboards, box cameras, pencils and books of russian beat poetry) the trio went in search of the image perfect and the ultimate rambling tale.

This is the outcome…

20 pages, full colour, 100% recycled, self published, tabloid format newspaper… £3 including postage … just to cover the print and posting costs… we don’t be makin any money!

last week I took a little trip up to the Outer Hebrides, a little scouting mission for a project I’ve got coming up. So I grabbed two friends, a chef and a musician, packed Renee (the van) up with a bunch of waveriding equipment, wellies, fishing poles and a ukulele and headed north in the slow lane…this is a gallery of how it all went down…

…just epic, I’m going back

p.s chefs and musicians are just the best travel companions…
