a win but the 35th isn't bad considering i didn't train anyway to the real victory 380-0000 pounds were raised for the local children's hospital next time i visit brighton i hope it's a top. you can find mark what's a customs like cheese rolling on our you tube channel. when you think of the alps normally images off hiking are steam spring to mind but when german photographer stefan his fellow goes there he's looking for something completely different he is fascinated by abandoned buildings so-called lost places his photos cannot save them from decay but at least he can preserve the memory. ruins in deserted places have always held a magical fascination for people. they make us wonder who once lived in them and what happened to them.
