Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge 2016
Undoubtedly one of the highlights of my year, the ADDC 2016 headed to Liwa between 3rd and 7th April. For the fourth consecutive year I headed up a team to drive their cameramen deep into the desert to catch some of the best of the action, and this year my team...

Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge 2015 – Special Stage 3 – Bikes and Quads
After a reasonably restful night - we were camping in dunes just beyond the bivouac so we didn't have to listen to rally cars being re-assembled for half the night - it was time to pick up our cameramen and head onto the course. This was the day we could sleep in -...

For the final time this season, I marshaled at the EDC event, held near Labab, Dubai Emirate. As always there was a good turnout of cars, bikes and quads from all over the UAE and this time Dakar Winner Marc Coma (#165) also took part, along with his KTM team-mate,...

Held on Friday 13th February at Lisalli, the fifth round out of six, saw a large field of bikes, cars and quads take to the sand dunes to compete in this popular event. Once more stationed at the most remote PC on the moto, I did not get the chance to take many photos...

My October
I have got SO far behind with my blogging.... here's some of the highlights which have kept me from my keyboard! October saw us waking up in Istanbul, Turkey, at the end of an adventurous 8 day holiday which you can read about in this month's Oasis Living Magazine. No...
Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge 2014 Part Two
The morning of day four found me with a relatively late start, ie 7.30am - we had to travel to the nearby Khis gatch to enter the desert between PC1 and PC2 - and unlike the previous day we found the perfect spot to film within a few minutes. It wasn't just Jerome...
Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge 2014 Part One
And so once more April arrived and with it my favourite event of the year - the ADDC! For the second consecutive year I was lucky enough to be deployed as a Eurosport Driver which I think is the best of all the "jobs" - despite early starts, lots of solo desert...
++2013 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge
This year I landed what I consider to be one of the best volunteer jobs in the challenge – driving a Eurosport Cameraman around for the week! Even better, they needed three cars/drivers so I was able to involve my good friends Mark and Wallie in this task. Day One We...
