Just spent two nights camping in Martin Mill, just outside of Dover. The opportunity to take some photos was one of the reasons for going on the trip, but mostly because it was a get away from the repetitive hussle and bussle of life. I managed to take some decent photos which I will be posting to my [...]

Intro Changes

Anyone visiting the website from today onwards will notice some small and mostly text based changes to the introduction page.
