I had a great time chasing the Milky Way at Rushmere Country Park (Heath & Reach) and Ashridge Forest (Berkhamsted). I was keen to get going with this as the Milky Way core will be setting below the horizon soon for Winter. It really is amazing what's right there above our heads - if you fancy giving this a go, check out the video for some tips & camera settings. I'm super excited to try again in darker skies at some point next year, stay tuned!

I had a first try at capturing the Milky Way and despite being in a light-polluted part of the country and the sky being a little cloudy, I was so excited to see the beautiful center of our galaxy! I'm looking forward to trying this again in a dark sky reserve. Pitstone is what's known as a Bortle 5 site - a suburban sky area. See the Bortle scale on Wikipedia here

A little wander about Totternhoe Knolls near Dunstable, Bedfordshire. There a definitely some Autumn colours about, eeak! Just love this next bit of the year!

George and I had the time of our lives! We summited Snowdon on a glorious day via the Miners track, visited the majestic Aber Falls, had an amazing time camping under the stars and lots of water fun at Llyn Gwynant Campsite, and visited Bounce Below and the Llechwedd Slate Caverns (highly recommend!)

Such a beautiful frosty day! January 2020

A walk around Rushmere Country Park in January 2020. This was my first attempt at videography with a DSLR (please excuse the shaky panning!) Parking here is £3 all day, pay on exit. It's such a beautiful forest, really tranquil and I'm in love with the evergreens!

Mand & I loved this trail, despite the weather! This 7 mile circular route follows the Ridgeway for a stretch before winding through Wendover Woods. We parked at Wendover train station (a heads up - it cost £8 to park.. so might be worth looking to park elsewhere)

Beware the field of crazy bulls after the golden valley!

​A 10 mile hike with BobDog in March 2019 from Dunstable Downs, through Whipsnade, Dagnall and on to Ivinghoe Beacon. This route is the Ridgeway Link, which links the end of the Ridgeway at Ivinghoe Beacon, to Dunstable Downs. We wild camped for the night along the Ridgeway, it was colder than expected!
