Cracking winter conditions on St Sunday Crag in the Lake District

llswater Lake like a millpond, a white winter coat on everything above 500m, cracking views across many peaks and dales of the Lakes – I was accused of “dawdling” several times on Sunday, as I stopped to take yet another picture, but the conditions were superb, and rival those I found on Aonach Mor 5 [...]

A Devonport hide-away and Rangitoto Island – Auckland’s nearest and most recent volcano!

Having fallen on my feet with an I-site that’s helpful and knowledgeable in Devonport, I ended up at the one and only affordable B&B in Devonport – the Secret Garden on Eton Terrace. Run by the friendly and knowledgeable Xenia and Tony, it was really nice to have a proper double bed and homely bathroom [...]

Rakiura Track – Stewart Islands Great Walk

Questions about weather on Stewart Island are a little bit different to most places. It’s not so much a question of “what will the weather do?” so much as “Will there be a break in the rain today?” or if by rare chance it’s not actually raining yet, “When do you think the rain will [...]

Spanish Sierra Nevada Workshops Group

As I’m starting to run photographic workshops in the Spanish Sierra Nevada, it seemed sensible to have a group page where folks who have been on one of my courses can upload their images and show them to others. So I’ve set up a group on Flickr here and added a few images from my [...]

The highlight of the trip was 5 days walking “Los Tres Miles” with Mike from Spanish Highs. We set off from Lanjaron in the SE of the region, and walked across several of the 3000m peaks (they have so many that some don’t even have names!). The route roughly followed the main ridge line El [...]

Just back from Spanish Sierra Nevada

And it was wonderful!
The mountains are awesome, everything from easy trails to full-on ridge scrambling (or harder!).
You may think that the slowly disintegrating road linking the two highest summits mean this area’s an easy day trippers stroll – just at high altitude – but don’t be fooled. Yes, there are some easy trails, but there [...]

Walking Guidebooks

And just in case you thought the photography was beginning to dominate the writing, one of the reasons this site has been a little neglected in the last couple of months is that I’ve been hard at work on my first guidebook. Its a short walking guidebook to some of the best walks in the [...]

Páramo Trek & Travel Catalogue

I’ve just had a short article published in the latest Páramo Trek and Travel Catalogue.
Its about the 2nd Madeira Walking Festival which I was very fortunate to attend as one of the official photographers of the event – from the point of view of a photographer. The weather wasn’t perfect, (it was unusually cold and [...]
