    chernobyl

    I am going to the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition today,one of the entrants is this,a fox photographed in an abandoned building in Chernobyl.
  5. I know,but its Everest that's captured the imagination of most climbers,i think Mont Blanc only costs a few grand theres 20 thousand a year summit it?Sure I heard that figure in the past?
  6. Seamus Lawless one of the irish guys missing has had a GoFund me page set up by his family to try and raise £750,000 to find and recover his body after the insurance company he used are not forthcoming with funds,it costs cash to recover bodies from up there,thats why they are left.
  7. Starbucks have already applied for a franchise,there was rumoured to be a 12 hour queue to get to the top the other day,a 12 hour queue,edmund Hillary would turn in his grave.
  8. You can do it for half that price with a Nep company,theres shoddy practices nowadays however,i was in Kathmandu last December and there was news of Nep companies not giving people time to acclimatise so they could get kickbacks from the rescue helicopter companies,its quite a well documented practice.As Stiff said theres a few technical bits,but its a trek and physical and mental fortitude with a slice of luck that's going to get you to the top.
  9. That clips filmed in la linea,quite a few interesting people live in the area,and gib is just over the runway.
  10. You must be proud as punch mate,well done,and a really good cause as well.

    chernobyl

    That's just Hartlepool mate,nowt to do with the radiation ?
  13. One of them actually lost interest and wandered off down the path,two of them were very commited even when he curled up in the foetal position they didn't stop ragging him,poor f****r.
  14. Its probably never the way its portrayed in the movies ? But the soundtrack and clothes were the bollox.
  15. I know an American woman in west-London with one,its name is spanky ? its huge,if it wandered the streets would be very easy to mistake it for something more exotic and non-indigenous.
  16. Au contraire,heres the story with the pics.Theres actually three more people died yesterday,theres hundreds up there at the moment trying for the peak. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/05/23/everest-traffic-jam-blamed-death-two-climbers/
  17. I saw this today on a London housing estate ? bold as brass, sitting there, didn't even move when I took the pic, the holy grail, proof that big cats (of a sort) do indeed exist in the UK.
  18. Climbers will tell you it's not the hardest, but it is the highest.Its not the most technical but neither is it a saunter up to the top there's a company at the moment offering 1:1 sherpa assistance to summit it for £40k I took this not particularly good pic of it last December, its the peak in the middle.
  19. Wahchadero,have you seen the footage of the guy jogging along a path when four dogos grab him and savage him?
  20. Two people died this week waiting in the queue to take selfies at the peak,i think there was 2-300 people in the queue,its lost its exclusivity and cachet somehow.
  21. Very good write up and fantastic pics,did you get a wallaby?How much do you reckon you spent in total including flights mate?
  22. I would suspect the money and the lifestyle are the attraction for recidivistic criminals,its not the fact they cant change,its more the fact they don't want to,prison isn't a deterrent its an inconvenience in the game.

  24. UK gangs keeping 'scoreboard' for knife and gun violence UK gangs are keeping "scoreboards" of knife and gun violence as part of a brutal game fuelled by YouTube videos in which they brag about their crimes. Youth workers and parents of victims have told Sky News the game is costing lives and there are calls for the antagonistic music videos to be removed more quickly from platforms such as YouTube and Instagram. Rhyhiem Barton, 17, was gunned down in May last year in south London. Prior to his murder he rapped about "the scoreboard" in a drill video which has had over 300,000
