Right a new year has eased itself into life and is beginning to trundle off into the distance. So it’s time now to clear up the last of the Christmas crackers, half eaten mince pies and crumpled party hats. This entry covers a day trip I took to North Wales, Colwyn Bay in fact. I was coming together of reasons, the eve of the shortest day, the weather was bright […]

Housekeeping through the photo files, discovering images and unfinished blog posts that have been gathering the digital dust on the hard drives. There’ll be no particular thread to these, they’ll appear as […]
Recently I took a trip up to Newcastle and on the return I came back by my favourite through Alston and over the summit at Hartside and down into Melmerby and on to Penrith. The view from the top is spectacular, from the Lakes across the Solway Firth to Scotland. Here’s the route down from Hartside Summit. Not one of my usual posts, but I enjoy the area and the […]
