During my last two years of travelling, I have stumbled on to many random and crazy events, including a few medieval festivals. One such festival was Jousting at Eltham Palace just outside of London. So one of my photographic projects has been to publish a photo essay in JPG Magazine for this. Have a look at the Photo Essay here, vote for me, comment and all that good stuff. I want to get published.
But here is a taste of the action.

I start to strap into my full body armour and I wonder if this is a good idea.
I am at a segway rally day just outside of London. After we navigate through some forrest, we arrive at the office and are promptly given helmets and body armour. Hmmmm…. my body armour is a bit dirty, which tells me that someone has needed to use it earlier that morning.
I have been on a road segway before and my confidence is high. The offroad variety stands very tall, but handles as I expect. We are put through a variety of skill test and then its time.
Into the mud we go. The rally track is small, but has a number of obsticles, little hills, s bends and some puddles. As the condifence grows, so does the speed. 10 laps later I finish the rally having a great time. However the question I have to ask myself is why the hell am I wearing body armour?
