And fortunately, Mick is a dab hand at spinning hot wire wool over his head without causing anyone to be…

The photo walk for October was a somewhat different challenge. The plan was to start the walk with some sunrise photographs at Higger Tor and the first challenge was to get up at stupid o’clock in order to get to Higger Tor for 7.00am. Well a few hardy souls made it and with the sky…

Cromford Walk
Our evening photographic walk in August was around the pretty and historic village of Cromford, just outside Matlock Bath and the location of the world heritage site of Arkwright’s Mill. Unfortunately the mill grounds are closed in the evening (which we knew) but the surrounding area offers plenty of photo opportunities. We started at the…
