A homepage for my hillwalking photos
I organised a trip to Snowdonia with friends from Rolls-Royce Derby Band. We all walked up Snowdon in sunshine on the Saturday. A few of us then walked up Cnicht in drizzle on the Sunday!

Ruth and I spent the Easter weekend ticking off a few of the less inspiring Corbetts in the Eastern Cairngorms. Luckily it was snowy to make them more interesting!

I spent a long weekend with my parents in Minehead. We enjoyed local walks on the North Devon coast, above Minehead, and on the Quantocks.

I spent a long weekend in the Southern Uplands to visit Will and Annelies and explore some of their local hills, including three Grahams and a Marilyn.

After a brisk morning parkrun at Conkers, the weather was too good not to head out again for an afternoon walk! I headed up Dovedale from Thorpe to Milldale, returning via the pastures to the west.

Ruth came to visit the South Derbyshire Duffers for the weekend. After a morning dash around Rosliston parkrun, we had time for a Saturday afternoon walk on Stanton Moor and Robin Hood’s Stride. On the Sunday, we were joined by Phil Withnall for a longer walk around the Lower Edale skyline.

I visited Ian and Emma for the weekend. We enjoyed two contrasting walks: an ascent of Ingleborough from Clapham in falling snow on the Saturday, and a snowy round of the Coledale Horseshoe in sunshine on the Sunday.

Breaking with our ten-year tradition of heading to the Highlands for New Year (due to the arrival of several ‘Dufflings’), the Duffers instead spent a week in the more accessible hills of Snowdonia, staying in a large house near Caernarfon. My walks included old favourites on the Carneddau and Glyderau, a traverse of the Nantlle Ridge, and a few new Marilyns on the wetter, windier days!

I headed to the Dark Peak in search of snow, and found plenty on my walk from Grindleford over Stanage Edge, Offerton Moor and Eyam Moor.

Ruth and I spent a long weekend in the southern Higlands around Crieff, ticking off three Corbetts and a Graham, and re-visiting a couple of Munros. We also enjoyed the first underfoot snow of the winter!

I organised a walking trip to the Lake District with some of my friends from Rolls-Royce Derby Band. Most of us walked over Lingmoor Fell in grey weather on the Saturday. A select few turned out again in glorious sunshine on Sunday for a walk over Coniston Old Man and Swirl How!

I spent a long weekend in Lancashire to attend Lucy and Becca’s wedding and do a bit of hillwalking. On the Friday I bagged a couple of new Marilyns, and on the Sunday I revisited Pendle Hill. No photos of the wedding I’m afraid!

My parents visited for a long weekend. Despite rather grey weather, we enjoyed contrasting local walks around Bradgate Park, Brassington and Shutlingsloe.

I took a solo autumn trip to the Southern Highlands to bag a few Corbetts, spending three days on the magnificent hills of the Isle of Arran, then three days on the mainland around Arrochar and Glen Lochay.

I went for another evening walk in the Peak District with my colleague Aditya, this time heading to Stanton Moor.

I spent a rather grey September Sunday morning walking near the Dove and Manifold valleys, starting in Hartington.

I took advantage of excellent sunny weather over the August Bank Holiday weekend for two walks in the Peak District: a round of The Roaches and Gun with Dave and Jo on Sunday and a quick blast along White, Curbar and Froggatt Edges on Monday morning.

My colleague Aditya and I went for a couple of hours walk in Dovedale after work.

Ruth and I took our cousin Xavier to the Lake District for a weekend of camping and hillwalking. We stayed at Gillside Farm in Glenridding, and enjoyed walks up Helvellyn (by the Edges) and Place Fell.

For the remainder of our Alpine holiday, we headed northeast across the Austrian border to Stubaital. Volderau proved a convenient (if very wet in the evening!) base for some very spectacular and varied mountain walks and a couple of days’ mountaineering on Zuckerhütl, Wilder Pfaff and Wilder Freiger.
