OUTDOORS
A reason to get outside.
Fresh perspectives, familiar paths and something new around the next corner.
Spending time outdoors brings together several things I enjoy: staying active, exploring a place and finding something to photograph. This page is a starting point for the activities and stories collected on my blog.
EXPLORING AT MY OWN PACE
From a local walk
to a longer adventure.
Not every journey needs to be far from home. A coastal path, a forest trail or a visit to a historic place can offer plenty to discover.
Walking, hiking and cycling give me a change of focus, while time outdoors often connects naturally with photography and an interest in the history of a place.

Camping ↗
A slower pace. A different view.
Camping offers a way to spend more time in a place, with room to slow down and enjoy being outdoors.
Cycling ↗
Exploring under my own steam.
Cycling brings movement and exploration together. It is another way to stay active and discover the surroundings.
Diving ↗
A different world beneath the surface.
The Outdoors collection also includes diving, opening up another side of exploration beyond the paths and landscapes on land.
Hiking & trekking ↗
The journey is part of the reward.
Hiking combines a physical challenge with the chance to reconnect with nature. I enjoy the landscapes, the effort and the opportunities to look around with a camera.
Sports & activities ↗
Making room for something different.
Activity is part of how I balance time at a screen. The blog brings together outdoor pursuits alongside the journeys and places I explore.
Walking in the UK ↗
Discoveries closer to home.
Walking gives me time to clear my head and notice the details. My interests take in Northumberland, the Lake District, Cumbria, Scotland and the Yorkshire Dales, as well as historic places and woodland trails.
