Hi! Welcome to my website. My name is Siân and I enjoy solo hiking (mostly!) across the UK and beyond, as well as fitness, outdoor photography and history.
This website contains links to what I’m up to across the web.
Up on Side Pike in the Lake District - a site of ancient volcanic activity from the Langdale Caldera. It’s an interesting Crag to walk on, offering great views of the Langdale Pikes and striking rock formations. I can see why it’s a popular spot for climbers too.
There are a variety of walks to choose from in this area. A small National Trust car park is close by which requires payment.

I hike over landscapes to enjoy the fresh air and scenery, whilst learning a little history as I walk. Sharing stunning scenery in all weathers, historical insights and inspiration for some fun days out.

Trying not to be blinded by the morning’s glorious sun whilst capturing the serene still of this beautiful scenery ☀️
I was absolutely in awe when setting my sights on this magnificent landscape mirrored wonderfully on Blea Tarn in the Lake District. The timing was accidentally just right, when the wind speed dropped to zero. A very peaceful morning and a delight for the camera lens.
Blea Tarn is situated in a small hanging valley between Great Langdale and Little Langdale. The tarn itself was shaped by glacial ice moving over the lowest gap in the mountain ridges from nearby Great Langdale.
There are a variety of walks to choose from in this area. A simple low level walk around the tarn, crossing a small bridge and through lakeside woodland, or more challenging hikes up on the surrounding ridges. Both lake and elevated levels offer fabulous views. A small National Trust car park is close by which requires payment.

Elevated views on the western flanks of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Up on High Cup Gill looking towards Appleby-in-Westmorland.
Hiking around this vast glacial valley in Northern England, with a walk back down to the very quiet village of Keisley (and then off for a delicious pub dinner! 🍽️).

‘Hike Up Nick’….. or rather High Cup Nick!
This trail has been on my list to do ever since I did my first walk in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at nearby Dufton Pike a few years ago.
A deep chasm on the Pennine Way (nick), this impressive U-shaped formation is at the top of High Cup Gill, and has views of the best glacial valley in Northern England. The sheer scale of this 20,000 year old beautiful valley cannot be appreciated enough through my photos, and so if you haven’t yet visited, I encourage you to add it to your list.
