The Milky Way Over Rushmere & Ashridge | The Chilterns

9/20/2020

0 Comments

 
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!

The Milky Way over Pitstone Windmill | The Chilterns

9/19/2020

0 Comments

 
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

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!)

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!

Chilterns : Wendover Woods Circular Trail - Winter Day Hike

1/15/2020

0 Comments

 
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)

Snowdonia : Snowdon Night Climb & Summit Sunrise

7/20/2019

0 Comments

 
Ascent via the Miners Track starting at midnight, 3am summit and descent via the Pyg Track after sunrise. The top sections of Miners / Pyg were steeper than I expected, and there was some scrambling involved. It certainly bought on my fear of heights in the dark! Epic night!

Chilterns : Hiking the Ridgeway Link with BobDog + Wild Camp

3/30/2019

​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!
