Riding bikes and taking pictures is what i do

Since 2015, but especially in the last few years, Pedal Slip has grown. I don’t mean me – I mean the ‘brand’ that is Pedal Slip. Somehow, this little thing I’ve created to share my own rides and inspire others has started to get its own legs and be noticed. It’s incredible for me to see that happening. It’s taken me to incredible places, helped… Read More »Riding bikes and taking pictures is what i do

The vast majority of the imagery around this website was created by me. When I’m in a picture, it’s usually one that’s been taken by George on my camera once I’ve set it up; we ride together fairly… Read More »I know… that sounds arty

5 Tips For Better Photos

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of riding bikes with George and Alan (from the Feral Marmot Collective). We got chance to ride the flow routes of Lady Cannings, albeit in icy conditions. Whilst we were there, we got to begin a new part of the To The Trail YouTube channel – tips and hints on video and photo creation. So, without any… Read More »5 Tips For Better Photos
