Workshops - NEW for 2007/8
One-to-One Tuition with Flexible Dates

I am suspending the normal group format of my workshops in favour of a more personal approach and am consequently offering photographers the opportunity to enjoy one-to-one tuition at competitive rates. Go to my Tuition/workshops page for more details.

Recent Publications
Fellwalking with Wainwright was published by Francis Lincoln in the Autumn of 2006 and, along with its 2005 predecessor, 'In the Footprints of Wainwright', probably marks the end of my projects based upon one of England's more enigmatic literary figures from the latter decades of the 20th century. However a new generation of Wainwright aficionados are now roaming the Lake District and as I have just taken part in the filming of a second TV series of Wainwright Walks, (BBC4 & BBC2), my protesting knee ligaments may yet be called upon for further efforts up in the mountains!.

New Titles for 2007/8
A Year in the life of the Welsh Marches is scheduled for release during the Summer of 2007.
It is a celebration of the landscape and architectural legacy of the England / Wales border region, based mainly around the counties of Shropshire and Herefordshire where many of the historic market towns and 'black & white' villages remain refreshingly unscathed by modern development.
Roads to Santiago, (the medieval pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela), developed into a creative marathon as I opted to not only cover the way westwards across Spain from the Pyrenees, but also the four main routes through France. It was an undertaking I might have thought twice about had I realised just how vast France actually is. Fortunately , its diverse landscapes, magnificent churches and cathedrals provided ample compensation for so many long days on the road.

Future Projects
I am just starting work on a book about Hadrian's Wall, one of the most enduring features of the Roman Empire extant within norhtern Europe. The most dramatic central sections following the line of the Whin Sill escarpment are a photographer's paradise at any time of the year, but especially so during the bleak winter months.
