Hiking in the Brecon Beacons National Park
I decided to avoid the Coronation festivities and taking advantage of the extra Bank Holiday by spending 3 days in the Brecon Beacons national park, or Bannau Brycheiniog as it is now called. I don’t have anything against the Royals but sitting around watching TV and street parties are not my thing. I’d rather be…

The length of the Gylderau
A stunning walk following the length of the Glyderau mountains, Snowdownia North Wales. At last I was rewarded with good weather that would give me panoramic views of the Carneddau and Gylerau mountain ranges.

The Snowdon range
Todays route was to start at the head of the Watkin path but quickly leave and follow Llyn Gwynant and then ascend Gallt Y Wenallt over to Y Llewidd and finally Snowdon. That was the plan but again the weather had another idea. Quite quickly you leave the Watkin path and follow a farm path…

First day in Snowdonia
What’s wrong with me two posts in two days. I’ll need a lie down soon. The met office weather yesterday for Snowdonia was pretty dry so I was hoping for some good views over the Moelwyn mountains. I drove over from Shrewsbury to a small cafe car park in Tanygrisau leaving about 7:30 in nice…

We booked a week’s break during half-term for my wife and son. My daughter is at university and her term times don’t align. So just the three of us plus Ruby our younger Jack Russell. We found Instow a bit by accident. Last year I treated my son to a long weekend away at a…

Quick visit to Whitely Bay
I’ve just been up in Newcastle upon Tyne for a few days for work. My flight was rescheduled which gave me a few spare hours. So I jumped on the metro which is a pretty short 25 minutes from where I was staying. I did bring some film cameras, the Reto Slim and Wide and…

Recent roll of Kentmere 400 from Olympus XA camera.
Here are a few shots from a roll of Kentmere 400 that I shot in Budapest, Brighton and Newcastle upon Tyne. I’ve started a bit of a trend to take the odd picture right at the start of the roll of film before it gets to the “1” mark. My thoughts are you have to…
