Outdoors Blog


Buttermere-BLF26021base98PS_1000Welcome to the intermittent “outdoors” blog of Peak Images, kept out of date by Chiz Dakin.

Please note, this is an OUTDOORS blog, NOT a photo blog, even though photography is covered at times within it. Posts are mostly about walking, cycling, backpacking, wild-camping, ski-touring and gear reviews, along with some about photography, writing and film-making. From time to time they may also include random other topics that particularly interest or rile me at the time! (And yes, some images are taken on a smartphone… It’s an outdoors blog, not a photography one!)

I always intend to do more with this blog than I ever have time for, so please also visit me on Facebook Chiz Dakin or Twitter @peakimages if I’ve been more than usually slow at posting updates here!

Blog posts themselves are now found on my home page, but individual sections of my blog such as cycling, walking, travel, photography posts can be found as a submenu under the main menu item of Outdoors Blog.
