Just Breathe / Dýchej

Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,..
Ano, vím, že život jednou skončí
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..
Sedíme sami a já vím, že musíme odejít
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
Mám to štěstí, že prstech obou rukou spočítám
The ones I love,..
Ty které mám rád…

Some folks just have one,
Pár lidí napočítá do jedné,
Others they got none, aw huh,..
zatímco někteří nemají nikoho…

Stay with me,..
Zůstaň se mnou
Let’s just breathe.
Prosím dýchej

Trip to Snowdon

Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales and is Great Britain’s highest mountain south of the Scottish Highlands. It has been described as “probably the busiest mountain in Britain.” It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd. The summit is known as Yr Wyddfa (“the tumulus”) and lies at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level. In terms of ‘absolute height’ it is the same height as Table Mountain in South Africa. As the highest peak in Wales, Snowdon is one of three mountains climbed as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge.

Sunset in Blackpool

Blackpool is a seaside town and unitary authority in Lancashire, England. Situated along the coast of the Irish Sea, it has a population of 142,900, making it the fourth-largest settlement in North West England behind Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington. It lies 40 miles (64 km) north-west of the city of Manchester, and less than 30 miles north of Liverpool City centre. Blackpool is the fourth most densely populated local authority district of England & Wales outside Greater London.

Snake Pass

The Snake Pass is the name given to the higher reaches of the A57 road where it crosses the Peak District between Manchester and Sheffield in the north of England.

More specifically, the name usually refers to the section between the town of Glossop and the Ladybower reservoir, where the road passes over the high ground between the moorland plateaux of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow (the highest point is 512 metres (1,680 ft) above sea level).

The road was first built as a toll road in 1820 as the most direct route between the two cities. In the 20th century the more northerly route of the Woodhead Pass, which is less steep and at a lower altitude, became the primary road link between Manchester and Sheffield.

Scarborough

Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England.

Scarborough won the 2008/2009 award for the most creative and inspiring entrepreneurship initiative in Europe. This is on top of winning the most enterprising town in Britain in 2008. The modern town lies between 3 and 70 metres (10 and 230 ft) above sea level, rising steeply northward and westward from the harbour onto limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour and is protected by a rocky headland. Scarborough is served by Scarborough railway station, with services from York, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool on the North TransPennine route and from Hull on the Yorkshire Coast Line.
