I have
always had a liking for all things outdoors, which started when I was very
young when my parents holidayed in Scotland, Wales & Cornwall. The
mountains always fascinated & inspired me by their beauty & size. School
days brought adventure weekends away at Plas Newydd on Anglesey, where my
love of the Welsh Mountains was born.
Ever
since I first picked up a strange shinny pebble on some obscure beach I
have had a very keen interest in Minerals, Geology and Mining History, and
have spent the last 30 years or so pursuing this interest. I have visited
and explored many of the mining centres of Britain both above and below
ground, which shows in many of the galleries on cheshirecam.
Photography has always been an interest for me as I have always took snaps
of the locations I visit. It was not until I bought myself a quality 35mm
SLR camera that I realised this was the hobby for me, where I can combine
my outdoor passion with photography. Finding Derbyshirecam and
Cornwallcam on the Internet was the inspiration for me setting up
Cheshirecam. I purchased my first Digital Camera, the Nikon Coolpix 950,
and I was away, and have never looked back.
Why
Cheshirecam? well I live here don't I, and its a wonderful county packed
with a variety of features made for walking and photographing. Although
the website is titled Cheshirecam it provides a platform
