Mountains... they are fun, they remove a pound or two but they age you. Like some drugs but safer...

​Striking lines and textures at Brightwell Barrow back in late summer. The recently tilled earth meets the stubble field, all watched over by the gentle glow of the Belt of Venus on the horizon. A perfect end to the day. #BeltOfVenus #LandscapePhotography #Sunset

Settled tonight on Fan Frynych, roughly 630m. Beautiful climb up above the clouds, but stormy weather ahead.

So thrilled to witness this 10 metre long artwork by Anna Dillon and Becky Carrozza at the launch of the Springline Project. Absolutely mesmerising artwork of the very highest standard. Proud to have been involved and also to have pulled the sheet off!

"Cadair Arthur" or "King Arthur's Seat"; the highest point in Southern Britain comprising Corn Du and Pen-y-Fan, both with magnificent celtic cairns. This view, across the gigantic Cwy Llwch valley, is taken from the slopes of Fan Frynych. All it needs now is tents... #Wales

Super day at the Dolphin Gallery in Wantage, followed by the Thames Water reservoir exhibition. This evening I will chat about this reservoir and revent fly tipping events in the Wessex Ways podcast. Plus a special locaton!

The Goring Gap, and Brunel's railway bridge spanning The Thames. But, is there more to this scene than we may have realised...? I am investigating something for Wessex Ways podcast.

This serene landscape beside The Thames near Hartslock Wood is a vital area known for supporting the rare Monkey Orchids. A beautiful sight today! Well done to everyone who got my earlier question correct.

British Camp on Herefordshire Beacon, soaring above the A449 road to Great Malvern. Caratacus was rumoured to have fought off the Romans here, but that's another discussion for another day! #Hillfort #Mavic3Pro

British Camp, Malvern Hills; when standing on top looking acrosd the ramparts towards Pinnacle Hill you can clearly see where Elgar got his influence from. #hillfort
