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.
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!

A walk along Holywell Dene found these 'mini rapids'.
Having negotiated a steep and muddy bank I ended up standing in the stream to get the shot. The rocks are more slippy than they look !!!
It is a very short walk to the Ardclach Bell Tower, there are steps further along and that was where it got slippy under foot.
It was amazing to see so many rock pools, really quite special. I had to watch my footing this was really quite slippy in places.
Overcast conditions When Freightliner 90047/ 010 brought the Felixstowe to Trafford Park through Brantham. With all the rain over the last few days its a bit slippy underfoot.
I have passed through Invermoriston on so many occasions and I have never visited the falls. There is a large car park and you just follow the path. It was really muddy and slippy so I had to take care but for this view it was worth it. You can see both the current and the old bridge in the distance. The power of the water here was amazing.
It seems like very little effort to me to go on my lunch to Gelt Woods and take a photo for this project. After all it is precisely 6 minutes from my office car park until I am standing in the spot this was taken at.
I realise I have it easy in this respect and perhaps that is how it should be - but for a change I made an extra effort. Although the river isn't deep at all I didn't want to fall in and the rock banks are precariously slippy, something that concerned me a little during my leafy handicrafts.
Plus during the making of this photograph, not one but two acorns fell on my head.
There are several 'pink' lakes across the South Australia. The high salinity of the water is home to salt-loving algae and a pink bacteria that provide the colour. What no-one tells you is how slippy the surface is as you get closer to the water.
I've been wanting to get this arial view of Lulworth Cove for as long as I've taken up photography but never got round to it. So I decided upon seeing some rare sun that today was the day.
Getting up there is not easy, it involved horrible steps that are just as horrible going down as they are going up. Also I am horribly unfit, maybe due to Lyme or maybe just lazy!
I would have liked to get more of the edges of the bay but as it was so slippy due to all the rain I decided to settle for this comp. I would like to return on a dry summer evening to suss it out a bit better and also having boats in the bay would be a nice touch.
I'm going to Snowdonia at the end of February. I don't know how I'm going to get on with mountains with my little South Coast legs!!
I don't really like taking typical shots - I prefer to be a bit different, but when in Northumberland!! The conditions were not great for many reasons, but I know why they are known as the death rocks - they are super slippery! I scrambled out on my bum with camera on a tripod, but too late I realised Will doesn't like slippy rocks either! I put him on a lead, took a quick shot or two and got him to his safe place. I don't really do landscapes, but now have the upmost respect for the landscape photographers out there for risking your kit, having the time and patience to take the shots and remove all the dust spots!!

After trekking an extremely muddy path around the base of Dunstanburgh Castle, we eventually wound up here.
Don't get me wrong, it was a very short walk but the muddy conditions made it ridiculously slippy and even the flattest part of the path had me sliding about without warning.
The castle is quite impressive as you are walking up to it but I have to say I preferred the shots I took at the rear of the castle (and ironically without a hint of castle in the frame). Although once again the lighting was a challenge as we were shooting into the sun for the most part.
However, this was my favourite shot of the day. For me, it holds the most interest. I like the curve and texture of the cliffs, the moody sky and of course.....my birds :o)
**Not sure how this explored on the 6th when I only posted it on the 8th?? **
Possibly the least unstable I have ever felt whilst taking the shot I wanted. Nowhere flat to put your feet and certainly nowhere to place a tripod that isn't considered a little risky.
This is the middle exposure of a three shot bracket so I was actually stood there with my hand millimeters away from the tripod just incase it decided to make a break for the freedom of the river, I spent around a minute which, after taking time setting up the shot and then getting the settings right, it felt like a lifetime. My Knees, ankles and back all took a battering down in the depths of the valley just to get what I wanted but, I have to say, it's worth the slippy rocks, muddy path and imminent risk of slipping onto jagged rocks or getting a soaking in one of the many pools to be in such a picturesque place like this that. believe it or not is only a few hundred meters from a busy main road.
The really Surprising thing, or not that suprising actually considering the water level and water noise, is that no traffic can be heard down here, just the afore mentioned rushing water, the wind in the trees and the occasional bird. Perfect for some quiet contemplation time which I made the best of wondering to myself, would make it out of there intact and more importantly, will my camera make it out of here in one piece and still dry?
It was this chaps first time across Striding Edge and the way he balanced gave a good clue to that. At least the weather was perfect with no slippy wet rocks nor wind.
I had climbed at a good rate and was more than happy to take a seat on the grass at the start of the ridge. It made for a great vantage point to watch everyone else gingerly make their way across. It was also a good while since breakfast so perfect timing for my snap.
Looking out to sea, it was slippy underfoot and was raining slightly better standing here than out there...
It was a cold day with more fresh snow. Underfoot conditions were not good I did not go very far just far enough to take some pictures.
The rain was so persistent yesterday morning, that I realised how hopeless I was juggling wet lenses on slippy rocks. Somewhere dry was the only answer, and I managed to find shelter next to this superb water spout! It was so noisy it was hard to hear yourself think! The colour balance is all over the place but this was such a wonderful place to shelter, this really sums up it's beauty! My only companions were a Grey Wagtail catching insects, and Dippers busily feeding! A Song While Waiting, is the falls singing to me while I was waiting for the rain to stop (it was a long wait!) and is by Mark Lanegan.
It was a lovely day but very frosty. The path was really good although slippy further on. I was well wrapped up and it was a really good walking.
It was a surprise to wake up snow today. It was more slushy but it was also heavy when the showers came on. I went for a short walk near Culloden Battlefield.
Walking in between the seaweed, algae, rocks and boulders nearing
the harbour at Abersoch.
Very very slippy, we had to be extra careful as the algae was very wet and dangerous to set foot on !!!
One from a trip to Wyming Brook on Tuesday with a good friend.
It was bit slippy in places and I realise sometimes on these kind of trips how unfit I am, the walk back almost killed me, but it was so worth it to be out in such beauty.

Autumn is over and winter started yesterday. Here in Sapporo, more than a foot thick snow has accumulated in a day!
By the way, please watch your step and never watch your smartphone display when you walk on the slippy pavement.

This paint spill happened last week, and me thinks it'll be there a very long time. Not sure why anyone had orange paint ... would anyone paint a room that colour?
Anyways, our sudden snow fall is melting, but it is still a bit slippy in places.
I found this one by chance. Never been here. I need to have a look to see just how many falls I have shot, must be a lot now and the thing is still so many more to shoot. I guess I am lucky living in Scotland.
It's funny, when I visit the waterfalls , even though there are really impressive falls in every direction, I can't walk past this little fall without stopping to get a few shots. The beautiful swirling curves just seem to catch all the colours of the sky and woodland. I did find out a slight drawback to the wellies though, they are extremely slippy on algal coated rocks. So Handle with Care it is , by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins.
It's been a good while since I've had chance to go for such a minimal composition like this, but being in the area up here for Hogmanay (New Year in Scotland) there were a couple of locations nearby that I wanted to revisit if possible, and this was a new one for me, so the camera bag and stuff mysteriously found its way into the car...(fancy that).
The weather had been really odd with heavy snow on the way up, followed by full sun, then just to keep it random, sun with a good old huge hailstorm thrown in for good measure... That same evening I'd gone to Cramond for sunset but didn't even bother getting the camera out as the light was so poor.
This was the morning afterwards and the weather again had been pretty awful with rain and just the odd sunny spell, the hard part here was actually finding this battered old pier, a bit of driving about and ruling places out I eventually spotted it and it's a good old walk along a long uneven and rather slippy breakwater, at least it wasn't raining...
Just before the end of the walk it started to rain, you just knew it would, nothing surer! right at the end of the extremely exposed breakwater is somekind of old outbuilding though then a sheer drop into the sea, although you can't get in or under the building the rain was coming in from the left so I just set up at the right of it to try and sheild the camera lens whilst trying to keep it at the right height so as not to mix the subject with the background , the rain actually worked in my favour for once as the low rain clouds and fog passing over Fife in the distance just make it even more minimal and allowed a longer exposure where I didn't need to use any grads as the storm acted as one.
Amazingly not one rainspot on the glass either even though the camera was covered in them, and it stopped raining for me to walk back along the breakwater, that never happens! Maybe my luck is changing... but I won't hold my breath.
The Forth Bridge can be seen off to the left hand side of the frame.
Gullfoss is Iceland's best-known waterfall, and also one of Iceland's greatest natural beauties. The waterfall, which is 32 meters {105 ft.] high, pours down spectacular and rugged canyons which are up to 70 meters deep [300 ft.].
Annually, approximately 100.000 tourists visit the Gullfoss waterfall, as well as the equally spectacular Geysir-hotspring area which is only 14 kilometer (9 miles) from here.

The Icelandic Geysir has given name to all geysers around the world.
PS. Here's a summer version of the Gullfoss waterfall: www.flickr.com/photos/coldpix/9888108354/stats/2014-03-04/
Made a last minute trip down to Beachy Head lighthouse on Tuesday. Forgot just how horrid the walk there was. Clambering over wet and slippy rocks, whilst tucked up close to the giant cliffs. Trying to avoid eye contact with the million pieces of loose rock and cracked chalk looming overhead. But always nice to get up close to the lighthouse. Especially on an evening as calm as this.
The first trip out since lockdown began, and I headed over to the Yorkshire Dales to meet fellow togger Terry Roberts (Bingleyman) for an afternoon of socially distanced shooting.... in true fashion the weather was fairly grim and wet and we had thought about calling it off, but seeing as I've had so much grief recently about actively going out shooting in poor weather (since I mentioned the same subject at a talk in Birmingham at the NEC) I thought yeh I have to practice what I preach really or I deserve it :-)
Meeting up it was pouring down but this wasn't the end of the world as the 2 falls we visited were both heavily wooded over and the poor light outside did us a real favour lower down at water level...
Thi shot is from the second spot we visited, Catrigg Force, it was like an ice rink down here with extremely slippy limestone that I was sliding about on let alone the tripod...
It was just fantastic to get out again and a top time was had, shooting both of the waterfalls and also researching a couple of spots to revisit again when the light was better higher up. Great to use the longer lens as well, ditching the wide angle for this one.

Yes, just a tad! Tree Time;-) Headed to Hadrian's Wall to catch the Connecting Light art installation(there's a snippet of that in my previous shot) along Hadrian's Wall, but weather wasn't good for it, slippy underfoot - still, did at least give me a chance to revisit another of my favourite trees :-)x
A quick stop off at Job's Ferry in Eastham, its blimin slippy down there especially in the dark! Liverpool airport to the left and Eastham Ferry to the right.
For anyone who has ever tried to find this place without an exact bearing or GPS coordinates, you will know what an absolute nightmare it is to find as you cannot see it until the very moment you arrive at it.... which isn't handy when you are trampling over huge wet slippy rocks that move under your feet and could quite easily start a rock slide.... The miners / farmers this used this from the 1700's obviously knew exctly where it was.
I hadn't shot this before and was dying to do so, we were doing quite well, (taking the correct path up at least) to a point we knew we were very close, when another photographer appeared from the opposite direction and said to us he knew where it was.. we followed him, and it soon became aparrent he actually didn't know where it was, but by this time we were quite a way off the path in a large rock field, I decided to let him go ahead and take stock of exactly where we were.
Few moments later I'd spotted a seperate path the total opposite way to wqhich we were heading and just decided it must be over there due to the view ive seen from there before and land features so we set off for that, the weather hadn't been great but was meant to stay dry till approx 4pm, again, total rubbish, as you get to expect....15 minutes or so later we were over there and it started to pour down, still hadn't found it... then over one tiny bit of land I spotted the window, result!!
Have to say it was great to find it in such circumstances where it actually became useful to shelter from the elements, for which it was designed, (that kind of thing floats my boat), anyway we made it inside, I'd shouted to the other photographer that I'd found it and he duly joined us inside (Mark from Durham, nice to meet you)
I set about shooting the inside, thankfully matches and candles were provided inside as I'd forgot to buy some in Keswick... as was a first aid kit which got used after my mate cut his head open on the low slate doorway! There's actually a small dent in the slate which I reckon is where numerous others have done the same...
Gone for a square format with this as I really just want the window area, there's nothing else I wanted to include, I actually wanted grim weather for this shot and the Lakes duly obliged... rain spots left on the window of course.
No such thing as bad weather, just a different set of challenges.
River Nidd, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire
We should have been out in our new car this week, but the delivery has slipped… apparently, it’s not been built yet. So nice of them to inform us 24 hours before the due date, but as they say - first world problems! Nevertheless, having booked the week off in anticipation we still decided to stick to our plans and venture out. Knaresborough only came to light after watching Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out in Yorkshire on TV a few weeks back. It’s looked very picturesque from the locations she visited and besides it’s got a great viaduct so what’s not to like.
Paul… before you ask, there will be a full account on the viaduct’s construction and history in a later posting.
Unlike Harrogate and York, which I suspected would be teeming with visitors after the relaxing of lockdown and more importantly… the pubs are now properly open so we opted for Knaresborough instead. Even after a coffee and a teacake (you wouldn’t believe the debate this caused in our WhatsApp group on the differences between a bun, barm, roll and said teacake… and not for the first time either!) the town was still pretty quiet.
Even these rowing boats wait patiently for their first customers of the day. Admittedly, it was out of bounds when I took this image but the owner let me through providing, I didn’t sue if I fell in on the wet slippy quayside.
By afternoon, the place was beginning to show the shoots of recovery with people wandering along the river side and cafes and pubs serving food inside and out. Even a few rowing boats on the river. It’s good to see a return to some kind of normal at last.
