The Strid & Strid Wood
The spectacular Strid is where the broad River Wharfe becomes suddenly narrow and the water rushes with great force. The Strid was formed by the wearing away of softer rock by the circular motion of small stones in hollows, forming a series of potholes which in time linked together to form a deep, water filled chasm.
Please note the Strid is very dangerous and lives have been lost. Please take notice of the advice signs in this area and stay well back from the edge.
The Strid is wider than it looks and the rocks are usually very slippy.
The Strid gets its name from the Anglo Saxon 'Stryth' meaning Turmoil or Tumult; corrupted into Strid, from the possibility of striding across the channel.
The Strid is easily accessible from Sandholme car park. It is approximately a twenty minute walk through Strid Wood from the Cavendish Pavilion. This path is suitable for wheelchairs. Alternatively, the Strid can be accessed from Strid Wood car park. This route takes ten minutes, however, the path is uneven in places and terrain easy to moderate.
This ancient woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and one of the largest areas of acidic oak woodland in the Yorkshire Dales. It is renowned for the flora and fauna, particularly the carpets of bluebells in Spring. Follow the colour coded nature trails through the wood and relax and enjoy the view from one of the many carefully positioned seats. There are walks to suit all ages and abilities including the green trail. This popular trail which is suitable for wheelchairs follows the west bank of the River Wharfe from the Cavendish Pavilion to the Strid.
Visitors are asked to keep their dogs on a lead whilst in the woods to avoid disturbing the animals and to prevent damage to the fragile woodland plants.
The snow was hard and very slippy but being close to this big tree there was good shelter against the freezing conditions.

This photo was taken during an urbex trip in an abandonned slate mine/quarry field.
As often in these, the old quarries are filled with water once finished with, and this one was giving such a blue color to the water.
After a dangerous walk down between trees and on slippy broken slates, we arrived on this sight which was stunning.
Very happy that it pleased you and thanks for the favs !
Another shot from a glorious sunrise on Newbiggin Crag.
The light on the damp slippy limestone caught my eye as the sun rose over the distant Yorkshire Dales.
A first time visit to this location. I took me about 45 minutes to reach the waterfall with a last 200m tricky scramble up some very slippery rocks.
A great location even though the rocks are extremely slippy when wet.
This picture was taken at 15.30 in the afternoon the sun was behind the clouds it was extremely cold. This little pier was very slippy and the water here was frozen. It was so nice and quiet just listening to the ducks and geese.
You could be fooled into thinking this was a summer day but I can assure it was jolly cold and slippy underfoot. The River Deveron flows on past Huntly all the way to Banff and MacDuff, it is a long winding river.
I'm not even sure if I like this image that much. Nah scrub that I do, the broken lines of the groyne and the rocks are a great juxtaposition. Be safe out there whilst this looks safe (relatively) it was infact extremely slippy, there was a white algae, with what looked like palm oil deposits.
Padley Gorge
The brook was in full flow when we visited after the heavy rain!! I have to say the Gritstone has its advantages over the slippy Limestone in North Wales!
Crackpot Falls, Swaledale Yorkshire. Bit slippy angling the camera on the rocks - no tripod, other half using it!
Shooting the waterfall - fine... as long as you don't drop your phone! This is Sgwd yr Eira waterfall, part of the Waterfall Country in the Brecon Breacons National Park, South Wales.
This was the first of four waterfalls we visited on the trail that day and this one is well worth the effort, steep descent and slippy rocks as you negotiate your way along the path and walk behind the waterfall, quite noisy with the rush of water over head too. You just get a glimpse of the owners dog, having a great time charging from one side to the other...obviously four legs are better than two!
This was taken after we'd done our walk through, then we sat in the sunshine and had our lunch by the river, watching the antics of everyone else having a go....then on to the next waterfall, mountain goat country!
This is the last of my photos for the group 116 pictures in 2016.

We had a wee drive out from home today for a walk at Granton on Spey. After this view we were in the cloud and fog so no more pictures but it was a great drive, if a little slippy.

I took a slightly different route in Dunham Park this morning to avoid slippy surfaces and was so glad I did. Came across this lovely Egret perched on the perimeter wall. A welcome but rare visitor to Dunham

Another view of the rocks and all the slippy seaweed, on a walk, at the far end of the beach.
Moelfre ~ Anglesey.
I was walking along the minor road at Croy I was walking along as far as Lochandinty Woods. I was in the shade minding my footsteps as some parts were quite slippery.
Taken from the path before it descends into the gorge. It was a little slippy descending and I nearly ended up on my backside a few times. This view however doesn't really give its size justice, but the roar it gives off is something else. It is well worth a visit after heavy rains.

A gorgeous day in the central Lake District, with a smattering of snow on the fells. Slippy underfoot though!
Not a bad place to stop for a cup of tea.
Took my camera out for the first time in ages to try out a new Sigma 10-20mm lens I've treated myself to. I've never been to Penmon Point when the tide is out before and I was surprised to find that the lighthouse is completely accessible on foot at low tide. It's quite treacherous though as the rocks are extremely slippy and I almost fell a couple of times!
I set off earlier to get to work this week. I was taking it slower it was a bit more slippy here. I was well wrapped up it was certainly chilly.
Although not technically the hardest place to get to, this was probably one of the hardest shoots I've had this year by far.
It had taken a while to scramble down the extremely steep and slippy bank here, but amazingly I managed that without incident, anyone who knows me knows that things like that don't usualy go to plan.... I'd taken a while looking around and then setting up until I was happy to start shooting.
All was going well until this point, the shots I was getting all had some sort of what looked like an over exposed area at the top of the frame, no matter what I did it kept happening, it had to be condensation I guessed, I'd taken the filters off I was using and cleaned those, cleaned the lens, put it all back together (really not easy while stood in the middle of a river) and went again... same again!! grrrrr. Dismantle everything again, same again!! and this went on for about an hour in which time I'd dropped my polariser into the river along with all my lens cloths, I'd even ended up sat in the river while bending down to see through the camera.
I've never had this problem ever before and the temperature difference wasn't that great from my camera bag to the outside so no idea what was causing it, really really frustrating, I swapped camera bodies as a last resort thinking it may have been in the camera body itself and that did improve it but not totally, swapped lenses, and even filter systems to a smaller one, I just had to keep going, and keep cleaning until I got what I wanted, I got 2 shots over what I reckon was around 2 hours here, this was the first I was happy with, bit of a nightmare really but if it had taken all day then so be it, not being beaten by a bit of lens fogging, (although I very nearly did give up). It was really nice walking away from the place wet, but knowing I'd got something after all the hassle.
Next stop on our whistle stop tour of the iconic locations of this area of Northumberland, Dunstanburgh Castle. The idea was to do a sunset and some astro shots, also hoping for an Aurora. The reality was that we were in the wrong position for sunset and not long after sunset a bank of cloud covered us.
This though is one of the standard shots of dunstanburgh. A two frame panoramic from Greymare (saddle) rock to the castle and yes those rocks are as slippy as they look.
Coming this far was like following bear Grylls, uneven slippy rocks high and low.But we turned back at this point because i was worried for my dad for he was wearing his trainers with no grip lol.I loved it.
Winter
Normally a death trap in the warmer months., with slippy moss covered rocks making crossing the water. tricky. The cold weather has killed off a lot of the moss and the rocks now have more of an orange tint. One of those locations that looks great all year round.
It's not often you find a location which is dark enough in daylight to practice the dark art of lightpainting where complete darkness is necessary. But here made the effort to visit this abandoned WW2 air raid shelter to check it out.
I'd seen a YouTuber visit this place and whilst he wasn't exactly giving the location away as is the usual with the unofficial urbexer's code but it wasn't difficult to figure it out for myself. Once I worked out the route in on Google maps, it was real easy.
We parked up and walked approx. 500 yards from the car with unusually no hills to climb! The best lightpainting locations always seem to involve some arduous climb or dangerous walk over slippy rocks! This time we got lucky.
The main air raid shelter is about 60 mtrs long split in to a rectangular zig zag arrangement with sections each about 6 mtrs in length. I presume this zig zag arrangement was intended to protect the occupants from being hit by a blast if one part of the shelter was hit from the skies.
For this shot, I used my "pan and tilt" method. Tilt the camera and fire a flash to light up the background. Then ask the subject to turn on a flashing torch and I simultaneously pan the camera leaving a trail of light in the frame.
I wished I'd taken a fisheye lens for this one but hey ho....
An oil in water shot given that yesterday's fine weather didn't last and it's slippy underfoot today .
Morning over Crag Lough. The crags are a haven of cracks and crannies and loved by crows, jackdaws for as long as I can remember. It's also very slippy rock to climb when it's wet!
About 70ft high, quite a spectacular view.
The river level was fairly low so that allowed the two river crossings that are needed to get there, although the river bed is super slippy in places, there is also a slightly dodgy high bit but these were minor inconveniences compared to the next day with Clive..........to be continued......
Lindisfarne, Holy Island, Northumberland
It had been a tough three days so far and the third early start for an expectant sunrise didn’t ease our tiredness. The day had started at Dunstanburgh Castle and the black pebble boulders of Embleton Bay.
If I needed proof that I’m getting old and my general fitness is not as good as I would like to think it is… was demonstrated to me in spades!!! I really wanted to shoot low level at boulder height, but getting anywhere amongst them was a bridge to far for me. To say they are as slippy as hell is an understatement and I couldn’t find a decent pitch for my tripod. It didn’t help that I couldn’t stand up as well and so retreated back to the safety of the rock slabs… which still proved slippy as hell if you stepped on the slimy stuff!
I got a few shots of the pillbox and walked with Geoff to the other end of the beach to see if I could salvage anything from the morning (not really looked at them so far).
Back at the cottage, the effort of the morning shoot had taken its toll on us all and the option of staying in with afternoon snoozes beckoning was rising high up the list. However, Geoff had researched a potential shot of the causeway and so we headed back to Lindisfarne to catch the incoming tide.
I’m glad we did make the effort. Something quite therapeutically about standing in the middle of a road in wellies with a creeping tide heading towards you. I say creeping, that tide moves bloody fast and I was forever retreating backwards to the mainland.
The Catamaran ferry Alfred en route to Orkney from Scotland yesterday afternoon. Crude tanker Eagle Hanover making her way from the Pentland Firth to Flotta to load Flotta Crude.
A strong wind and some slippy rocks but the light was pretty good....

Once again good early morning shades of Blue near the University Campus in Inverness. This picture was taken about 07.30 showing that it is now getting bright earlier in the morning.
I was determined this year to make sure I get a good few days up in the Lake District during Autumn as it just didn't work out last year for one reason and another, so it was great to get a few days away here, as usual the weather wasn't the best I could have hoped for but to be honest these days I kind of expect that, and anything else it just a bonus...
This location wasn't really on my to do list on this day I'd planned to shoot the boathouse at Rydal but fot the second day running I found myself in a car park with not enough change for the extortionate ticket machine, knowing how long I take shooting a location and not fancying getting my car clamped or towed off I decided to change location and came here instead.
There are quite a few options for shooting here in terms of where to position yourself, this one seemed appealing and was definitely getting done after I spent a few minutes tumbling down a rather steep, slippy, muddy bank to get to it, grabbing onto a few trees and plants on the way down to stop myself going for an unwanted swim...
Had a good hour or so shooting along this bit of river, which turned out to be really productive. On the way back I decided to wade through the river instead of going back up the bank from hell again, even with wellies on got soaked feet as the water poured over the top in one unseen deep part, I'd like to think it was worth it though, if I don't come home soaked or covered in mud I probably haven't got anything on the camera worth keeping!

Unsuccessful deep sky imaging always ends up in successful wide-field astrophotography. Bazaleti frozen lake at its finest, -10 degrees C and thick and slippy ice, quite a fun and strange emotions.
I jumped right into it yesterday and posted one of my last images of week, so today I’m going to take you back to the start, Tuesday. I arrived in Glencoe at about 11:00 and although still 0c at ground I was surprised how little snow was on the tops compared with the mountains on the way up, but by the time I came down from the summit of Beinn a’ Chrulaiste it was a lot whiter. The plan of today was still in play get to the top and take classic views of Glencoe on the way. I’d brought the ice axe and crampons but I saw little need of them for this climb, however I did push the walking crampons into a side pocket just in case. I made the Stob at 639m with my heart pounding, as the years creep on this is getting harder and harder, however I had been going at a rate as I knew the weather was on a change. Here I stopped and took the classic pano I was after. This was a personal record, having over the years climbed most of the mountains to the immediate south of the pass. The image captured I ploughed on to the summit arriving at 13:00, I estimated 2 hours for the climb and 2 hours it was. Just as I reach the summit the snow started to fall, turning round I saw that Stob Dearg had disappear, so I didn’t hang about. On the way up the rocks were coated with verglas, now they had a fine covering of snow, slippy stuff, so I sat on a rock and put on the walking crampons. I had bought these a couple of years ago had but never worn them, they were brilliant. On occasion over the years I’d found wearing full crampons over the top but needed something for the ice and I was forever putting them on and off. However these walking crampons were just the ticket and took a lot less room in my bag. The only mishap was one of the chains unlinked when I was down running across the main road after taking photos of Lagangarbh in a picturesque blizzard which you may see one day.

Alva Glen in the Ochills is quite a short walk, but its choc full of waterfalls and interesting nooks. The paths were a bit slippy with the recent rain, so i wasnt feeling brave enough to get closer to the water or the Smugglers Cave that sits at the peak of the walk. Hopefully will be back on a dry day to capture more snaps!
