After years of dreaming and months of planning, on the 26th of May 2012, a group of eight intrepid adventurers headed off to Germany with a plan to cycle and camp our way across Austria (some 350km from Passau to Vienna) following the mighty Danube river. And what an adventure it was... I'm going to try to stick to short intros and minimal captions, but if you'd like a little more of the story from our holiday of a lifetime, you should check out http://at-eleven-eleven.blogspot.co.uk/
A little note to go with these next few posts...
In keeping with our stripped down adventuring, i decided to take only one camera with me, my recently purchased Kiev 60. I shot a total of seven 120 rolls during the 10 days; five Fuji 400, one Ilford Pan F 50 and one Ilford Delta 3200. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I had all the films processed on return that i realised there'd been a problem with the camera. The result was, sadly, a lot of blown out photos. Some I like, some i don't, but overall, I'm still really happy i chose to shoot film. Live and learn...
