Caz and Simo's

By the time i left Ray's place i was through with the wildlife part of my trip, not fed up- far from it- just ready for the holiday portion of the trip. that's when i went to Caz and Simo's, my friends in Nottinghamshire who i met in south dakota summer of 07. it were great stopping with them, and the first weekend i was there Adam (whom i also met in SD) and Dannie were also there. it was perfect! that was a cracker of a night!

the Weirdfielders

The second weekend i was at Ray's the lot from Lincoln, all the Weirfielders came up and we had a glorious weekend. there was 9 of us, not including Ray's 2 greyhounds, we camped out together and ran the center during the day. and we were damn good at it too! it was one of the best weekends of my trip, those guys are amazing, and we all got on ever so well. i'm gonna mis them more then anyone!

Ray Jackson's place

After Hessilhead i headed over to Ray Jackson's place, Lower Moss Wood, near Chester. i was lucky enough while i was there to go on a soft Badger Release in Wales, which was an amazing thing to be part of. i had a nice time, though i was only there 2 1/2 weeks, Ray's a lovely guy and runs a cute little rescue in the woods. really enjoyed myself.

more Hessilhead!

this is just a fraction of all the amazing animals i was lucky enough to get great shots of!
