Photos from Dublin

This weekend I took some time to explore Dublin a little with my camera – there’s plenty more there I’d like to shoot but I did grab a couple of nice ones I think. Check them out:

I think this one might be my favourite – I’ve wanted to get this shot since I first saw the spire

The 2009 Maggies London Night Hike

Last weekend myself and six friends/colleagues took part in the Maggies London Night Hike, a 20 miles sponsored night hike around the streets of London, to raise money for Maggies cancer centres.

We started out at 9pm from City Hall, near Tower Bridge, and walked until about 7am, with various stops en route to drink coffee and visit London Open House weekend buildings, such as the Royal Geographical Society, the Channel 4 building and Horse Guards.

We made it pretty much intact, although we picked up a few blisters between us (I was unscathed, thankfully). It was fairly tough with the distance and the fatigue (we’d all done a days work already that day so walking all night was tiring stuff). A couple of team members were certainly a little grouchy towards the end – but then we all have our ways of coping with sleep deprivation

We raised in total just under £5000 for the charity, which is the most important thing, and something I’m very proud of. We also got to accomplish something, and see some cool sights, some of which I documented through the monumental struggle of lugging my SLR along the course of the route (!)

Our motley crew ready to get going.

Our little jaunt on the London Eye.

Some of the sights we saw on our journey.

Some of the rest stops we took on the way (love the last pic of Fash looking bleak – that was at mile 18 or so)

Arriving at the finish line!
