Great Calva in the northern fells of the Lake District. A modest peak but one that stands out once beyond Skiddaw and Blencathra. Here seen in its full winter coat at the start of 2025.

Up on the summit of Lonscale Fell yesterday afternoon as the light faded on a cold but still day in the northern Lake District. Skiddaw and Skiddaw Little Man sit in the distance.

Latrigg, in the northern fells of the Lake District at dusk, as sheep graze while a hiker heads back to Keswick. Blease Fell (Blencathra) stands out in the distance.

Atkinson's Monument close to the summit of Caudale Moor in the Far Eastern Fells in the Lake District on a cold, crips winter dawn. Red Screes sits in the distance to the right of the frame.

Fairfield in low cloud, seen from Hartsop Above How in the eastern fells of the Lake District.
Looking forward to spring evenings like this. Out fell running with a small camera in the quieter fells of the northern Lake District such as Bowscale (as seen here, with Blencathra in the distance). Anyone wants to join for such runs soon, just drop me a line!
Climbers on Napes Needle (Great Gable) making their way up to the summit on this classic of Lake District rock climbing. Moody morning with the mist . Had to do a spot of light scrambling up through the crags to get this shot, but certainly worth it.

Indeed, pretty nippy up the Rossett Ghyll path, up to Allen Crags, back to Angle Tarn, then looped around to pick up the Stake Pass back down into Langdale. Microspikes very much needed above 400 metres. Tad slippy!
Three hikers heading down from Esk Hause, towards Angle Tarn and Rossett Pike as the light began to fade yesterday afternoon over a wonderfully snowy Lake District. Shot on a hike up to Allen Crags from Langdale.
Looking to Black Sails and Wetherlan from Swirl How in late summer of 2024 in the southern fells of the Lake District. (OM-5 + 8-25mm f/4 Pro).

Blissful morning views back in January, up on High Pike near Ambleside. Soft morning light and deep snows following a 6am start from the house was certainly worth it. Little Hart Crag sits in the distance (OM-5 + 8-25mm f/4 Pro)

Certainly one of the finest climbing spots in the Lake District, Gimmer Crag on the southern face of Loft Crag in the Langdale Valley. Trad team here working their way up the middle sections of the route. You'd be hard pushed to find a better belay ledge than this #lakedistrict #cumbria #landscape
Dusk setting over the southern fells of Brim Fell, Coniston Old Man, and Dow Crag in late summer of 2024. Shot from the upper slopes of Grey Friar. Head torch and run back down to Coniston village was a fun end to this outing.

Looking to Great Moss in Eskdale on an overcast day. Taken from Scar Lathing with Pen, Scafell Pike, Mickleden, Broadstand, and Scafell standing out. One of the finest views of the Scafells? Probably.

One from earlier this year up on Blencathra on the way along Halls Fell - the finest route up to any summit without a rope? Perhaps! Always looks far better with its lakeland winter coat on.

Looking to Green Gable and Great Gable in early summer, two of the highlights of the Western Fells here in the Lake District.

The summit of Lingmoor Fell in the Lake District catching the early morning light in early summer with Wetherlam, Swirl How, and Great Carrs sitting on the horizon.

Hiker stands on the upper crags of Halls Fell on the approach to Blencathra summit in January of this year. Looking forward to more of this weather pretty soon.

Last light of the day catching an outcrop of trees on Ennerdale Water with Pillar and Black Crag towering above. Shot back in spring on a shoot up to Steeple, Haycock, and Caw Fell.
Fine tree and old stone building on the approach to The Knott from Cowbridge in mid summer a couple of hours before dusk.

Certainly had worse views at dusk - Clough Head from Blencathra yesterday evening in the northern fells of the Lake District.
Rannderale Knotts reflecting onto Crummock Water back in February in the western fells of the Lake District (Nikon Z7).
Pretty much as nippy as the Lakes get - the summit of Helvellyn with winter doing its thing. About -20 as two hikers take a moment at the summit shelter before heading off into the thick clouds. Not a place to linger for too long but it was pretty hard to resist this shot.

The highest human in England for a wee while as a hiker enjoys a pretty quiet summit of Scafell Pike on a very chilly day in the Lake District.

Moody shot of Pen overlooking the Eskdale valley, catching just a sliver of light on a pretty grim afternoon. A day for picking out details on the telephoto lens rather than shooting more conventional landscape images. #lakedistrict #cumbria #nikon #hiking #mountains #eskdale
Moody view of Scafell and Broadstand taken in the last of the sun on Saturday evening in Wasdale. Sweeping up a few final shots needed for the new edition of Great Mountain Days - this is likely to feature in this major guidebook to the Lake District #lakedistrict #cumbria #landscape #nikon #wasdale
Shot today from a blast up to Lingmoor Fell to grab some shots I needed for the new edition of Cicerone's Great Mountain Days. I have plenty of snowy images of this modest fell in the Lake District, but it was nice to collect one with late summer heather #lakedistrict #hiking #landscape #omsystem
Shot from yesterday evening's shoot to Mellbreak in the Western Fells of the Lake District yesterday. Mellbreak is always tough to shoot late in the day, at least for me, but certainly felt that this perspective with St. Bartholomew's Church in Loweswater worked well. #lakedistrict #cumbria #hiking
A rather moody looking set of fells from a shoot in Eskdale back in June of this year. Here we are on Scar Lathing, looking towards Scafell Pike (left), Pen (centre), and Ill Crag (right).

No posts for a wee while with work being the annoying thing that it is. But thought I'd post this shot this morning from a wonderfully blissful dawn up on Low Pike looking south towards Ambleside and Windermere beyond as a hiker makes his way down #lakedistrict #cumbria #hiking #dawn #landscape
