Friends of Ullswater Way first contacted me in May 2022 with a proposal to create a virtual aerial tour of the Ullswater Way. It has been a great project to be involved in and it was a delight to visit the lake and its surroundings on numerous occasions in glorious… Read More »Friends of Ullswater Way – Virtual Tour
This was the third time South Cumbria Rivers Trust has requested my services and this was the biggest project they have been involved in and one of the biggest of its kind in Europe. My remit, as previously, was to record the before, during and after, as the weir was… Read More »South Cumbria Rivers Trust – Bowston Weir Removal
This little project for Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust all happened at very short notice, but it worked out really well. They asked if I could get 360° photos of the wildflower meadows and I was able to go the very next day. Kathryn and I ened up having a very… Read More »Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust – Wildflower Meadows

This Cumbria Wildlife Trust nature reserve is the closest to where I live and quite a different environment to some of the other reserves for which I have created tours. The aerial view was created not long after sunrise and the shadows from the low sun pick out the undulations… Read More »Cumbria Wildlife Trust – South Walney Tour
Eycott Hill has grown to be one of my favourite nature reserves to visit and it is a fascinating place to explore as this tour will hopefully demonstrate. For starters, the detailed aerial overview shows off the remarkable terrain in every direction. Then the eighteen 360° ground photographs are packed… Read More »Cumbria Wildlife Trust – Eycott Hill Tour
This really is one of my favourite places to walk and enjoy nature. There is no doubt there is too much bracken across the site but there is still so much nature there and the tarns are breathtaking. If you haven’t visited I would encourage you to do so the… Read More »Cumbria Wildlife Trust – Lowick Common

For starters it involved a lot of walking on the day and careful battery management to allow me to use the drone at six locations to capture the aerial 360° views. However, the weather on the August day I… Read More »Cumbria Wildlife Trust – Smardale Tour
I had never visited Clints Quarry Nature Reserve before going to create this tour, but it was a pleasure to do so.

Consequently, the site is home to a tremendous… Read More »Cumbria Wildlife Trust – Clints Quarry Tour
