DAY ONE: A SWISS PHOTO DIARY

Cardiff City's pre-season preparations continue in Nyon, Switzerland this week - and the Club's Media Team are there too to keep you up to date with the lads' progress.

Each evening, from now until next Sunday, we'll be bringing you a photo-diary of events, exclusive training shots and interviews with the squad and staff. All this comes, of course, in addition to a daily dose of behind the scenes footage - courtesy of Cardiff City Player.

DAY ONE

Lake Geneva - a view from City's 2012/13 Nyon training base

Getting ready for work: New boy Jordon Mutch and the Skipper, Mark Hudson.

Warming up: Kadeem Harris is put through his paces with re-invigorated team-mate Nat Jarvis looking on.

On your knees: (L-R) Filip Kiss, Joe Lewis, Rudy Gestede, Elliott Parish and Peter Whittingham.

Sporting the new kit: Robert Earnshaw sweats it out in the squad's new 2012/13 training gear.

Born to run: Don Cowie does what he does like no other!

His pre-season training days are behind him - but new U21 coach Kevin Cooper is with the squad in Geneva monitoring our younger crop of stars.

Surely it's too warm for gloves? New goalkeeper Joe Lewis catches a breather after a strenuous day one training.

Not far from home: Rudy Gestede cools off in the Nyon waters - a short drive away from the Swiss border with France.
