David BSI: January 2015
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Friday, 16 January 2015. Wanders with the Weather Gods in Teesdale. I have not really had time to write individual blog posts for each day so its just a bit of a roundup of some of the better days out. Obviously not a hill walk, but it was still nice to head out locally for a bit of a wander. Living here you tend to take places such as the grounds of the Bowes Museum for granted.

David BSI: Picos de Europa Mountains 2015
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2015/06/picos-de-europa-mountains-2015.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Monday, 15 June 2015. Picos de Europa Mountains 2015. Set in northern Spain and only a few miles inland from the coast, the Picos de Europa are not necessarily that well known to walkers in the UK. Agged limestone peaks, deep gorges, leafy forests, wonderful wildlife and a weather pattern that makes temperature inversions a regular feature, it's a mountain lovers paradise. Pena Vieja, which could be accessed from El Cable. Being...

David BSI: September 2014
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Monday, 15 September 2014. A selection of images from the last week or so. If you are out and about early in Upper Teesdale you can feel that summer is coming to an end. Most mornings now have a bite to them, but this particular morning was the first for a while where I experienced really cold fingers. River Tees and Wynch Bridge. Great Stony Hill via Coldberry End. View south across the watershed. Surrounded by featureless moor...

David BSI: Snakes, Heather Burning and Ancient Woodland
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2015/04/snakes-heather-burning-and-ancient.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Thursday, 16 April 2015. Snakes, Heather Burning and Ancient Woodland. Number 2 (Mr Grumpy) basking with body flattened to absorb the maximum heat from the spring sunshine. A couple of weeks later with the weather now much warmer I headed back. No Mr Grumpy this time, but instead Number 4 who is a rather more passive character, who along a smaller snake I could not identify were happily basking in the sunshine. Now clearly it co...

Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. Satmap Active 12 Review. Satmap Active 12 - Cost including full UK 1:50K mapping. Current retail price around £450.00. I bought this Satmap Active 12 prior to release as part of the Beta Testing program in November 2013. I got the Satmap 12 from Above and Beyond and found the buying process was good. In fact I received my credit card bill with the unit on it well before delivery! That said I do a lot...

David BSI: August 2014
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Thursday, 28 August 2014. The Lang Man O'Bollihope. My original plan had been to head up onto How Tallon for the sunrise, but as the hills were in cloud, I decided to put one of my many plan B's into action and head to a location nearer the road - namely the Long Man, also known as the Lang Man O'Bollihope on the Teesdale/Weardale Border. View East towards Hamsterley Forest. One of the Curricks. Wednesday, 27 August 2014. At fir...

David BSI: Castlerigg Stone Circle Sunrise
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2015/04/castlerigg-stone-circle-sunrise.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Tuesday, 7 April 2015. Castlerigg Stone Circle Sunrise. On Monday Moira and I headed to the Castlerigg Stone Circle to watch the sunrise. I find sunrises wonderful sights to behold, but when the location and light come together perfectly, some really have a hauntingly beautiful quality. Today was one of those. We arrived with just enough time to grab a few shots of the moon. This shot was used by the Telegraph this morning.

David BSI: June 2014
http://bluestoneimages.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Hiker and photographer with a passion for the natural world and wild places. Thursday, 26 June 2014. Standards Hill - Lunedale. I am afraid the next few posts will be a bit random and not in date order. Blogger is being a right pain and at times and I simply cannot be bothered battling on getting posts up when it goes slow, won't save or add images, refuses to acknowledge I even have a blog at times, or any number of other issues. I know others are experiencing issues as well so p. There is also a strang...
