Well we are back from our walk from the Atlantic to The Med over the Pyrenees. In all it took about 45 days walking and about 4 days resting, there were plenty of ups and downs in more ways than one. To say we under estimated it would be an understatement but I managed to get the camera out once or twice for the Landscape Photography. To be honest we were so exhausted at the end of each day, we were in bed before sunset and when we were up before sunrise we usually had to cover the ground before the sun started cooking us. As it rained solidly for the first 2 weeks the camera stayed in the waterproof bag!
Anyway I’ll hopefully set up a more dedicated area for the photos, some are on my flickr stream but I thought I’d post one of my favorites of the trip. This was right at the very end of the trek at Banyuls sur Mer. I had got up early and hobbled down to the sea. Luckily I was rewarded by a great sunrise just as the bakeries were firing up!

We have raised quite a bit for Cancer Research but donations are always welcome, our just giving site is here if you would like to donate. All in all it was a great experience which I would recommend to anyone, I think if we tried anything like it again we would probably take a little less stuff! Anyway back to the wedding and portrait photography, which we love, if we could just find the couple who are getting married on top of a mountain!
