Quickly becoming one of my most frequently photographed features in the West Pennine Moors, this is the Prow in Wilton 1, a 60 feet high promontory of quarried rock that’s a favourite for climbing and bouldering. Taken a couple of evenings ago as I was heading home, but when I saw that the sunset might be quite good, I decided to park up and follow a small path that leads to the top of the quarry and this amazing view - and no, I didn’t climb up to get there! 🙂

Just loved how the still bright, late afternoon sun created these dappled contrasts on a cobbled street near to where I live. Steeper around the corner, it would have linked the workers living higher up the hill to the mills in the valley.

I’ve a bit of a tree theme going on here and this also happens to be a shot taken while walking back down Caer Caradoc hill. The late afternoon sunlight made the green really vibrant, as well as cast these lovely shadows.

Looking back a few weeks to the balmy late afternoon sun we enjoyed at the end of August. Taken on the way back to Church Stretton through winding country lanes, after walking up the imposing Caer Caradoc hill.

My first ever competitive hike - at this weekend’s Keswick Mountain Festival. I entered a new event, the Hanwag Coledale Challenge, and amazingly came in as the first female. 18 miles and 1630 metres of ascent, I’m feeling it today! I decided against taking my camera but of course I still had my phone with me, so did stop a few times to take photos of the gorgeous and sometimes grimey views along the way. Here’s a selection of my phone shots, with (unusually) one of me on the way up Catbells, the first fell on the route. Thanks to the fellow hiker for the pic!

I was distracted one evening this week by a rather unremarkable stretch along the Belmont Road and spent ages taking photos there - the way the fading sunlight caught the details of these delicate grasses was just so lovely.

Just loving these hazy warm evenings, perfect for a wind-down walk after work. This was taken on my way back home past Dunscar Golf Course - all quiet on the green, but this is one of my favourite local views with Winter Hill in the distance.

Big day today for Bolton - the 125th Anniversary of the 1896 Mass Trespass starting in the town and walking to Winter Hill. I thought this bleak view of the hill with barbed wire in the foreground would be quite fitting for today’s event.
Looking forward to seeing a good turnout today!

There’s an exciting event happening in Bolton this Sunday - it’s a commemorative walk to the summit of Winter Hill remembering the Mass Trespass of 1896 when 10,000 locals protested against the closure of the moor by a wealthy landowner and industrialist. In line with this, @livefromworktown and Bolton Documentary Photography have collaborated on a photographic project to illustrate how the hill is used today, whether for work or leisure.
Here’s a selection of my photos that form a part of the exhibition showing sphagnum moss planters and fencers involved in moorland restoration, plus two shots of a telecoms mast repainting team. The exhibition will be displayed at Smithills Hall from 11am to 3pm along with poetry readings and live music. Please do join in if you are in the area!

A couple more shots from The Shropshire hills.
Saturday was blessed with perfect walking weather, so ideal for a picturesque route traversing the Long Mynd from Church Stretton and back again. For the outgoing route, we walked through Ashes Hollow and returned via Mott’s Road and Carding Mill valley. Having never visited this part of the country before, I was just blown away by this beautiful landscape with its deep ravines and interlocking rolling hills.
