A Sunday Picture
Every Sunday at Rambling Man we used to dig in to our photographic archives and excitedly share some of our favourite snapshots of our journeys. That was until 2015 when time constraints put paid to that.
But then in 2020 something happened. And it seemed like a good point to bring it back. Because, why not?
Wham Lane
Published 15 May 2022
In which we talk about 80s pop bands, loud noises and a manufacturer of wastepaper bins, all under the notion of long distance walking.
The lighthouse of St Abbs

Even in a world of GPS and radio technology, sometimes y
Lindesfarne from afar
Published 20 February 2022
I didn’t make it there. Looking at it from across the water was the best I was able to do.
A Northumblerland castle by the sea
Published 23 January 2022
We haven’t needed to worry about invasion in this country for some time now. Now castles remain only to provide a bit of history. And to look nice as well.
A bird of the Northumberland coast
Published 28 November 2021
Thought provoking public art on the Northumberland Coast Path
Coquet Island
Published 31 October 2021
Because photos of coastal walks looking out to sea tend to look more interesting if there is an island and a lighthouse in them.
Need to stop dreaming of the Lake District.
Published 3 October 2021
n we decided to move out of London in 2014, I spent some time wondering whether I could somehow get a job somewhere like Kendal and live a lot closer.
Use Hand Sanitizer
Published 19 September 2021
If there was ever a sight that sums up the age we’re living in, it’s a sign on a gatepost next to a path imploring you to clean your hands.
When walking a coast path, don’t forget to visit the beach
Published 25 July 2021
A picture of the beach can only mean one thing. Yes it’s time for the traditional Rambling Man Summer Break.
A fine view on the South Downs Way
Published 20 June 2021
You can keep your Severn Sisters and your Beacon Hill. This view at Amberley is what it’s all about.
The battered, isolated red phone box
Published 6 June 2021
In celebration of the fact I’ll hopefully be meeting a friend for a good walk soon, here’s a photo of a phone box!
Oxford Crag and a lovely view of Ullswater
Published 25 April 2021
There are many times when I have been climbing a fell in the Lake District that I come to a point that has an amazing view. And quite often that point is nowhere near the summit.
The South Downs Way – A Sunday Picture Special
Published 14 February 2021
Eleven years ago I set off on the South Downs Way. So what better excuse to look at some lovely photos from that walk.
I’m a sucker for an artistically looking cairn
Published 7 February 2021
It all looks too delicate. Like a strong wind would blow it over. Maybe even a breeze. But it was good to see it whilst it was there.
The stone bridge of Watendlath
Published 22 November 2020
Watendlath Packhorse Bridge is a cracking bridge. But please don’t visit it. I’d rather like to keep it to myself if it’s all the same.
Coniston Copper Mines
Published 1 November 2020
Coniston is no longer industrial. But the industrial legacy certainly lives on.
The trail in a tunnel
Published 16 August 2020
Trails on old railway lines often go a bit haywire when they reach an old tunnel. Not so the Monsal Trail, which the White to Dark follows in part.
The autumnal colours of Borrowdale
Published 2 August 2020
Browns, rusts, golds and more. In the right place, autumn looks amazing.
Werneth Low
Published 21 June 2020
Werneth Low is a hill. It’s not a particularly big hill. But it has good views. And a very popular pub.
Wild flowers in a field of wheat
Published 7 June 2020
A photograph that has everything. Wheat. Wild flowers. A very tall person walking in the distance. What more could you want?
Dreaming of a night in the tent
Published 24 May 2020
Who wouldn’t like a night under canvas right now?
The hidden beaches of Pembrokeshire
Published 3 May 2020
For me one of the most enticing parts of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path are the secluded, isolated beaches it goes by.
Dreaming of Black Sail
Published 19 April 2020
Like many people, I had plans for this year. Plans that – right now – I have no idea whether they will come to fruition. One was to visit Black Sail Hostel.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hope you enjoy your Christmas Day barbecue.

Traditional British Holiday
Published 6 September 2015
Rain? Check. Large expanse of water? Check. Waterproof clothing? Check. Small child? Check.
Because sometimes you just have to cross a motorway
Published 30 August 2015
Next time you’re out walking, why not walk near the M25? You won’t regret it.
What we need is a great big cairn on top
Published 23 August 2015
Don’t like photos of cairns on fell tops? Blame a Grand Canyon ranger.
Getting them interested early
