Back in the Covid-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022, it was more difficult to plan things, especially travel, where you couldn’t be sure if it‘d be possible to visit a chosen destination due to sudden lockdowns and quarantining requirements, or indeed whether (thanks to the Covid related economic depression) one’s circumstances in a financial sense would still allow it.
As an optimist (realistic optimist), I always want to believe that things are possible – the quote “if it is not impossible, there must be a way to do it” sums up my attitude. So, although plans were cancelled, or put on hold or postponed due to “Covid”, things have since returned to normality, meaning that it’s realistic to think forwards with hopefulness and positivity for the future.
In that spirit of positivity, we’re always looking for new places for photography, diving, motorcycling, camping, walking, trekking and anything that you could call “absorbing”. We’re currently looking at some projects going forward into 2025 and as far down the road as 2028!
Ideas already booked or in our sights include an Easter visit to the Devon Coast at Branscombe and the island of Alderney, a motorcycle trip to the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona via the Pyrenees, then Central/Southern Spain, Extremadura, the Spanish/Portuguese borderlands and the Picos De Europa, Coll in Scotland for Basking Sharks, plus other dive destinations such as the Indian Ocean and Raja Ampat. We’ll post things as they start to come to fruition. Plenty to keep us motivated. – JC
