I’ve been hiking and taking images in The Peak District for about 3 years now, but never quite made an attempt to find the origins of the “Right to Roam” movement. I suspect it was called something different in those days and maybe the legislation is called that, I’m not sure. Either way Kinder Scout […]

Todays blog post its something very different for me, well at least in terms of my photography it is. Me and the lads had an afternoon (that turned into an evenings drinking) watching Cheadle Town play Eccleshall in the North West Counties league. I’ve been a visitor to the ground on and off for a

I really wasn’t expecting to be able to get out last weekend, or even my non working day. However, the gods of work and car body repairs all conspired in my favour and I was able to get out for a couple of hours on Friday afternoon. Bramhall Hall is a local landmark that I’ve

I added Cheesden Old Mill as a location to my project quite early on in the selection of sites but I haven’t had the chance to revisit it since that first visit. This last weekend I did just that. It is situated near Ashworth Moor Reservoir and is on the road from Edenfield to Rochdale.

I was determined to keep my newly found motivation going with some more trips out with my camera this last week. So to kill two birds with one stone off I went into the Peak District again, looking for a new location as well as a further image for my 12 significant images project. I

This is 12 significant images, from 12 different locations visited 4 times each and coming together as 12 images one from each location for each month of the year. Given the

My 12 significant images project has as one of its locations the steeping stones that allow people to cross the River Hodder, close to the Inn at Whitewell. This weekend I looked to capture another image of the stepping stones but this time in Winter. Boy was I surprised at what I found when I

The last few New Years Eve day’s I’ve taken a walk with the camera and taken some photographs of where I ended up walking. This year I decided that the walk would be up and around Holcombe Hill, and village. The images that follow are of the sights I saw on the walk around and

Well this last few months hasn’t been great at for me on a personal level but I’ve kept on going out with the camera whenever I have been able to. Not that I’m going all woe is me on this blog but I did test positive for Covid the week before Christmas. That means for
