Crug Hywel; the celtic hillfort also known as "Table Mountain" above the Usk Valley and Llanbedr in Wales. In tomorrow's wild camping video I visit here again on the way up to Pen Cerrig-Calch.

Sunrise high up in the Black Mountains. #RoomWithAView

Wonderful, if windy evening on Pen Cerrig-Calch

Visit our Oxfordshire Artweeks: Beautiful art by Anna Dillon and Rebecca Carrozza, photographs of local landscapes by myself, drone demonstrations, friendly chat in a beautiful garden and a free Ford Focus** for everyone who attends. www.theastons.net/groups---clu... **(this bit is not true)

Another shot of the strip lynchets on Blewburton Hill

Two good aviation friends of mine were in hospital, they didn't know each other but I introduced them and they are now best friends. I visited them last week. One was released, and today gave the other a flypast! This has really lifted me!

Blewburton Hillfort in the blazing evening sun. This photo was taken on a walk with my history loving friend Laura. #hillfort

The northern most source of the River Avon bubbling up near Alton Priors today.

Lovely evening on Blewburton Hill with my friend Laura.

Preparation for Oxfordshire Artweeks in Aston Tirrold at the beginning of May with rebecca Carrozza and Anna Dillon. This year I am also also providing some cheaper "frame your own" mounted pictures.

Welcome, everybody, to the wonderful world of @gretellemaitre.bsky.social. I have been so excited to be in an episode of her engaging and soothing podcast (episode link in first reply). "Thank you to kind Hedley, the Gabriel Varden of Didcot. I look forward to our next rencontre."

Wayland's Smithy, earlier today. I met the utterly lovely @gretellemaitre.bsky.social here to be a guest on her podcast. We also visited the SWIRE Arts Prize in Uffington after, shall we say, a "challenging" drive there (my fault!). Do follow her, her podcast link is on her profile.

Uffington Day 2 of 3. I visited The Uffington Museum and saw some of my pics in their terrific "Myths, Moments and Memory" exhibition.

A great afternoon judging the SWIRE Art Prize in Uffington; some truly amazing entries this year as well as an astonishing children's photography exhibition! Theme: "Shapes and Shadows of The Ridgeway". Opens tomorrow (Saturday 18th April); Thomas Hughes Memorial Hall, Uffington, SN7 7RA.

From The Ridgeway looking down across fields towards The Vale, above Wantage.

The intriguing Whiteleaf Cross, high on the scarp of the #Chilterns above the Icknield Way. It's origin, date and purpose appear to be unknown!

Met up with author and long time friend Tim Owen this morning for a coffee; I stole a copy of his superb book about real people struggling in the anarchy of 12th century England, after watching a wonderful short film of his! Website: www.tdowen.co.uk

Rondane National Park is so beautiful, especially when a world class photographer like Stig Floberghagen camps there. youtu.be/LCnxQIn_lwU?...

A boulder near the top of the Grindslow Clough scramble, Kinder Plateau. In the distance is Ringing Roger, The Nab and Lose Hill. #PeakDistrict

If anyone wants to see me suffer in lovely scenery, my Peak District video is now on YouTube (link in first comment)

I am going to recommend a book! "Upon a White Horse" (Spotify link below). A beautiful description of (and stories from) historical persistent places. Thanks to @gretellemaitre.bsky.social for the heads up! Picture: me! open.spotify.com/show/5YVrEqn...
