July 4th, 2011 Editor Last year I took my trusted digital SLR camera and (very heavy) tripod for a little trip around Lincoln Cathedral. The results were pretty good, but I was on the road to exhaustion after I’d finished lugging my kit around for the best part of two hours. So, given all the hype we’ve seen about [...]

May 24th, 2011 Editor It’s fair to say that the aspect of Lincoln’s Bailgate area that you cannot fail to be awestruck by is the wonderful cathedral, and if you’d like to sit in comfort whilst you gaze in wonderment at this incredible structure then the Lincoln Hotel is the perfect place to stay.

May 10th, 2011 Editor From the desk of Pip Wilson .. Lincoln’s 56th Annual Cycle Grand Prix was held this past Sunday, as part of the weekend long Lincoln Festival of Cycling and what a weekend it was for it too.

April 28th, 2011 Editor With less than twenty-four hours to go before Prince William and Kate Middleton are married I thought the time was right to meander around Lincoln, armed of course with my camera!
