I’ve uploaded several albums to Flickr and didn’t get around to updating the blog to reflect that. So here in one go is a bit of a catch up.

First off, a few photos from a weekend break in Cumbria.

Next up some photos from in and around Runnymede, site of the signing of [...]

The album can be found here.

Hatfield Forest

Drew — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:54:16 +0000

A new Flickr album of a walk around Hatfield Forest. This is a contradictory place with lots of peaceful woods to explore including deer (sadly despite seeing elegant Stag didn’t get a photo as it went into the thick undergrowth very quickly) but borders Stansted Airport so plans take off and land on the edge [...]

Carsington Water Photos

Drew — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:02:11 +0000

Went for a walk around Carsington Water today. Carsington is a reservoir in Derbyshire (near Ashbourne) run by Severn Trent. The site has some really nice walks, all well signposted and it’s easy to combine them with other freely available instructions on the internet to take in some of the local villages as well [...]

The Boston Globe has a piece on the restart of the Large Hadron Collider that has some fantastic photos including some of the damage done at the original startup. The scale of this thing never ceases to amaze.

The article and the rest of the photos can be [...]

Derbyshire Photos

Drew — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:26:00 +0000

I went for a walk yesterday around the Longshaw Estate, a National Trust run area in North Derbyshire. On the way back home I called into Eyam and had a wander around the surrounding area. Every time I go into the Peak District, well actually anywhere in Derbyshire, I can’t help but think I really [...]

Went over to Hardwick Hall, just off the M1 Jct 29 near Chesterfield. Have a few photos on Flickr.

The picture here is of the George and Dragon pub which is where we stayed. It is a lovely [...]
