How do you plead? Not guilty Mallard...

There were two actually!

Cald Beck indeed

Wednesday, 30th December 2009

Recklessly we discounted the main roads and braved the icy lanes to get onto Caldbeck Common...

Tree planting, a pub crawl, dinner with friends and a mountain marathon

Saturday was "Tree o'clock" day, a world record attempt to plant the largest number of trees in the UK in a 1 hr period...

Pictures from the deep

Wednesday, 7th October 2009

Bramley, Veit and I look through the mud Hybis brought back from 4500m. Mostly we found mud!

Autosub completes two missions at our new location off Morocco, but the real excitement is live video from Hybis, 4500m below the ship.

It was an adventure for us

A bevy of Rachel's swan profiteroles (yes, I looked up the collective noun).

A very unusual adventure for us--a quiet weekend at home!
