Sikkim beetle

I’ve just stumbled across a smorgasbord of photos from trips to Sikkim and it seems that once upon a time I had the presence of mind to separate out all the important invertebrate shots from the bland Himalayan scenery! What a dude. I’m going to start sticking them in a gallery on this page as I sort through them and any comments and IDs are very welcome! The photo quality varies a lot across several cameras over a number of years in sunny, cloudy, wet, torrential, monsoon, damp, soggy and dry conditions, usually taken at full stretch, one handed, on a precipice.

A summer cycle https://www.corinpratt.com/a-summer-cycle/ https://www.corinpratt.com/a-summer-cycle/#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2014 21:41:20 +0000 http://corinpratt.com/?p=1035 Read more > A summer cycle]]> Summer has finally finished here in England, wound up over the weekend with a blustery downpour and fairly convincing temperature drop. It’s now that I reflect on a long hot summer and how I wish I’d walked more, cycled more, photographed more and generally made the most of it. It was a busy one, but now I must start planning for next summer; travels, sport, friends and shenanigans. I stumbled across a picture that will now serve to inspire me through autumn, winter and spring; a beautiful afternoon in the Derbyshire countryside on my bike. Simple pleasures.

A stroll in Delhi https://www.corinpratt.com/a-stroll-in-delhi/ https://www.corinpratt.com/a-stroll-in-delhi/#comments Mon, 16 Dec 2013 21:39:47 +0000 http://corinpratt.com/?p=553 Read more > A stroll in Delhi]]> Mother, daughter, family, tractor, tents, New Delhi, road
It’s fair to say that Delhi is not always my favourite place to be; it is chaotic, noisy, crowded, dusty and hot. There are few cities I’ve visited that are as frantic and overbearing as Delhi, or where the juxtaposition of wealth and extreme poverty is so apparent. That said, there are few places as energetic or relentless, or with so much to see along any road you choose to walk down.

Heavy traffic, New Delhi, road
These pictures and the album below were taken over the course of an hour-long stroll from my hotel and back one afternoon. In this time the majority of my senses were assaulted, with constant car horns from the road, wafts of pungent foods and rotting heaps, a constant pebble-dashing of grit and dust from the construction work all around and vibrant flashes of colourful clothing and tents.

Worker, woman, New Delhi, road
During my stroll I saw families living in huts and tents by the roadside, children begging at car windows and workers shoveling gravel and carrying stones. To my surprise, the friendliest people I met that day and quite probably in all of my visits to Delhi were those that had the least, the families on the roadside and the workers, dark-skinned from the sun and caked in dust stopping to say hello and share a smile. No doubt I looked amusing, glaringly white, wearing jeans and a shirt, trying to dodge traffic and sweating profusely, but the smiles were not at my expense, they were simply friendly and inquisitive.

Little girl, New Delhi, road
By the time I got back to the hotel I was shattered, sweaty, orange with dust and ready for air-con, mineral water and a shower. It’s impossible not to think how those people that have no escape persist day and night, living and working on the road, surviving on the bare minimum. No showers, no air-con, no mineral water, no comfy bed, no transport, no money, no respite whatsoever. Yet they can still share a smile with a stranger and laugh with their children and make the most of everything they have. It made me feel spoiled and greedy for all the things I do have and the endless list of things that I want, and incredibly lucky to have always had bikes and gadgets and cars and holidays, never mind education, a house, food and water. More than anything, Delhi provides me with a dose of reality and some perspective. What in life is really important?

Capri https://www.corinpratt.com/capri/ https://www.corinpratt.com/capri/#comments Sat, 19 Oct 2013 19:13:12 +0000 http://corinpratt.com/?p=499 Read more > Capri]]> Faraglioni, Capri, Italy

Last year I was lucky enough to visit Italy’s Amalfi Coast for a fantastic wedding, after which a group of us took the chance to hire a little boat and nip over to the island of Capri. It was a choppy trip over, but we soon shook off the nausea to take in the looming cliffs, towering pillars of stone and gulls circling overhead. We skirted around the island, had a dip in the sea where we were mobbed by jellyfish, then headed to the main harbour. Following some very dubious parking – ploughing dodgem-syle into a space betwixt multi-million pound yachts – we headed up to Capri’s main square, the Piazzetta.

Capri Vista, Harbour, Italy

From here we enjoyed the view across the island and over the harbour, but the jostling hordes soon proved too much and we continued on to the far side of the island, which boasted further incredible views and a distinct lack of crowds. We had lunch in the bay of Marina Piccola, relaxed on the stony beaches and after a few hours enjoying the sun caught a packed little bus back over the island. With an ice cream for the road we headed back to the harbour and our vessel, bounced our way out past the super-yachts and completed our lap around the island, before riding the high seas back to Positano. Capri is a gem of an island and a brilliant place to spend a day if you’re ever in the area. The whole Amalfi region is magnificent and I fully intend to return.

Red Deer in Richmond Park https://www.corinpratt.com/red-deer-in-richmond-park/ https://www.corinpratt.com/red-deer-in-richmond-park/#respond Sun, 13 Oct 2013 19:41:29 +0000 http://corinpratt.com/?p=477 Read more > Red Deer in Richmond Park]]> Red deer cityscape, Richmond Park
Richmond was treated to a beautiful Autumnal day yesterday. In Richmond Park the bikes were out in force, joggers jogged, ramblers rambled and red deer roared! The rut has begun and the stags are getting feisty. With a cityscape background, Richmond Park provides a green island in which both red and fallow deer flourish. It’s a real treat to see them, particularly at this time of year as large red stags clash to secure the attentions of the ladies (hinds). Here is a small album with pictures of Richmond Park’s red deer in the summer and early Autumn.

A couple of years ago I spent a few days travelling around the Cornish coast in search of hidden treasures (partly) and ice cream, fudge and fish and chips (mostly).

Destinations included Newlyn, Lamorna Cove, Land’s End, St. Ives, Padstow, Newquay, Tintagel and Boscastle. Some were busy with tourists, others completely abandoned, but each has its own unique appeal, from craggy coastlines and golden beaches to top restaurants and rustic pubs. The views are wonderful and the Cornish beers delectable. I am long overdue a return.

One of my favourite ever pictures is this one of gulls circling in the sky in St Ives:

Newlyn harbour looks particularly lovely early in the morning and later in the evening:

Sikkim, in the Himalayan region of North-East India is home to breathtaking flora, fauna, peaks and panoramas along with some very friendly and welcoming people.

I hope to see many of them again when I next return to the mountains.

I’ve spent a lot of time in and around the Great Langdale valley in the last five years, regularly staying in a beautiful house in Elterwater with family and friends. From the doorstep there are fantastic walks and amazing views and whether heading out for a day on the hills, strolling to Chester’s for a slice of cake or staying in for a quiet read it’s a great place to be. Here is a gallery of some of the sights in and around Elterwater and the Langdales. There are lots of happy memories for me here – if you haven’t been to the Lakes these pictures are the tip of the iceberg; I hope you get a chance to visit!

This post is dedicated to Chris Eley, a wonderful man who recently passed away and with whom my family and I spent many happy hours, climbing mountains and getting lost. Elterwater was one of Chris’s favourite places and will always remind me of him.

Santorini, a Greek beauty https://www.corinpratt.com/santorini-a-greek-beauty/ https://www.corinpratt.com/santorini-a-greek-beauty/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:53:29 +0000 http://corinpratt.com/?p=160 Read more > Santorini, a Greek beauty]]> Santorini is truly beautiful in places and manages to stay classy where so many Greek islands have given up. That said, sunburnt drunk tourists on quad bikes can be found without too much difficulty and the place is not without a smattering of traditional Irish bars (that I was forced to visit for some essential rugby screenings). The impressively high prices predominant across the island for any product or service, however, ensure that the majority of visitors are those keen to take in its beauty and not just people after cheap booze and a tan. Luckily, I’m a classy broad and was there for the vista…

Blue-Domed Building, Oia, Santorini
I visited the island late in the season and was pleased to avoid the mid-summer hordes. My girlfriend and I signed up to a fairly generic day tour to visit some of the harder to reach spots like the volcano and the island of Thirassia and had a really good day; the best bits being when we ditched the crowds and had a wander. The volcano visit was interesting, with our tour guide shouting aggressively whilst re-enacting historic eruptions to keep us focused for the best part of an hour. I’ve never seen a more convincing volcano portrayal and I doubt I ever will. From the volcano the boat took us to “bathe in the warm volcanic springs” which sounded idyllic. After a decent swim from our vessel we entered the mouth of the hot spring area, at which point we were smothered by a pungent sulphurous fug. Next to greet us was a suspension of brown volcano gunk which we found coated every surface and offered an intriguing toe sludge massage upon standing. After five minutes of bathing in the sludge we were herded back to the boat, where it was revealed that all pale clothing worn during our swim had been stained brown. Next we headed over to the isle of Thirassia where we took the chance to escape, abandoning the crowds to the restaurants and cafes whilst we trundled up the steep main path to explore the few streets and whitewashed houses above. As seems so often to be the case on my Mediterranean adventures I stopped to chat with some donkeys and whilst stopped took the chance to  appreciate the amazing view of the harbour from above.

Thirassia Harbour, Santorini

After a heavenly swim in the aquamarine harbour waters and a chat with a nice chap from Australia we hit the road (sea) again and made our way over to Oia, the postcard town of Santorini. One of my favourite bits of Oia was witnessing an American girl have a tantrum after her boyfriend hired a donkey to take her up to the town from the harbour. As we trotted ahead on foot we could hear the lilting tone of this southern belle as she screeched profanities from atop her noble steed. It wasn’t quite as romantic an experience as the boyfriend had planned, but everyone else really enjoyed it. The donkey remained nonplussed by the whole event, clearly used to transporting melodramatic passengers.

Oia, Santorini
Oia itself was very pretty, planted throughout with vivid flowers adorning courtyards and the walls of its famous blue-domed whitewashed buildings, which were as appealing as they had appeared on postcards. The boutique and extravagantly priced hotels built into the cliff side – pools and all – were stunning and will certainly host my next lottery-celebration visit to Santorini. We took in the sunset over Oia from the ruins, which was spectacular and uninterrupted by crowds that failed to materialise despite warnings from our guide.

Oia Sunset, Santorini
After a cold beer in the warm twilight we made our way back to Kamari and our hotel. We had a meal of canned Greek goodies – stuffed vine leaves, butter beans and roasted peppers – on the balcony and attempted to enjoy a game of cards and a bottle of Greek white wine. The cards were as expected, uniform and rectangular. The wine was not. The wine was poisonous.

The rest of the days were filled with fun and sun. We hired a car, took it back because the locks didn’t work and the engine didn’t work and the brakes didn’t work. We hired another car, visited towns large and small, found isolated beaches and ate quite a lot of ice cream.

Santorini Coastline

We returned to Oia for another sunset and a meal in a beautiful cliff-side restaurant and spent many hours reading and lounging on black volcanic beaches with cold beers and factor 50 sun cream.

Kamari Beach, Santorini

One of the nicest days was had after heading over to the usually popular Perissa just after some rain. The sun came out, the beach was ours and we were treated to a 45 minute massage each on the black sands by a woman roaming the shoreline. She was a masseuse, that’s an important point to make, and she had the hands/elbows/knees of an angel! That night we had a traditional Mexican banquet after a tip-off from a long-term holiday rep based in Kamari and watched an incredible sunset over the volcano, enhanced no end by a sizzling plate of fajitas.

Volcano Sunset, Santorini
We had a brilliant time in Santorini and found the island to be as beautiful as we’d hoped. I’d certainly recommend a visit, and off-peak if you don’t mind a bit less sun – the lack of crowds makes all the difference when trying to convince yourself you’re a traveller on an undiscovered paradise island and not just another tourist on a package deal to Greece.
