Regular visitors to the site will know I was away on holiday in July when Jennifer and myself headed north on a cruise to Ireland, Greenland, Iceland and Norway. Several people have asked to see some of the pictures I took, so I've put together a 'website' to display them.

I know this is nothing to do with the Lake District, but anyone interested can click on the photo to have a look.

Introduction:

This website was originally created as a way of sharing my love of fell walking with the wider public, and through time, I hoped it would develop into one of the premier online resources dedicated to walking in the English Lake District. To this end I feel that the website has far exceeded my initial expectations. Over the last couple of years the site has had several significant development upgrades and has gone from strength to strength; currently receiving over 20,000 visitors every week. (separate visitors to the site, not the number of page hits)

So where do I take the website now?
I will of course continue to walk the fells and to add walking information and pictures into the website. My next long term development project is to build the directory section of the website into one of the most comprehensive catalogues of Lake District information and photos on the internet.

In keeping with the original theme of the website, many of the items in the directory will continue to take advantage of the well established and successful idea of offering the visitor a choice of walks.
