Long time, no see...

Wow it has been a busy few months for me and I haven't had any time to update my blog or much else. But now as things start to get back to normal I will be back on all fronts showing everyone the events I have been covering.

Believe me when I tell you, I have been to all corners of the country and covered some amazing events, with some fantastic and inspirational people.

Last time I posted - I had just covered Man V Lakes.  Next stop was Man V Mountain- and this turned out to be the polar opposite of when I covered the event last year when we had 70mph winds and horizontal rain. This year it was glorious weather with no wind and it really allowed us to enjoy the amazing views that Mount Snowdon has to offer.

Having got to the summit via the train (thanks to the kind soul who gave me their ticket!) it was soon time to start capturing the images of the competitors who had already covered most of the 22 Miles by this point and must have been pretty exhausted after running up the mountain.  Although I like to think carrying 40kg of camera gear up a mountain means I felt some of their pain - yes I know part of the climb was on the train but what goes up must come down!

The competitors seemed in good spirts and were more than happy to give us some running poses as they passed us with the clear blue skies and beautiful mountains behind them.

After a long day on the mountain it was time to make our way down, it was too much of a good opportunity to miss to pack the camera away for the descent - so the Nikon stayed out so I could photograph the beautiful scenery and get some memories of the day on the way down.

Some of the images will be going on Facebook so be sure to pop over and have a look.

See you next year Mountain!
