Since launching the Peak by Dan Mears Website and Print Store in November 2019 I have been busy, out in the valleys and hills of the Peak District, capturing the beautiful colours, light and views of Autumn for this range of new Peak District Photography Prints for 2020. I was in two minds when to…

The Wild and Woolly Walker and I love walking over the Christmas period! We were keen to try something new on our latest expedition too. Having hiked around the Longshaw Estate and surrounding areas quite extensively, there was one area we hadn’t ventured onto for some time, Stanage Edge. With camera in hand, here are…
There is nothing better than getting up at the crack of dawn and driving 40 minutes to capture a stunning sunrise on a cold winter’s morning. Here I spent some time capturing the breath-taking sunrise over Surprise View & Higger Tor in the Peak District. After spending some time at Surprise View, watching the sun…

Thankfully, today we were greeted with brilliantly clear weather!…
So just on our second day of our holiday we decided to do a big round, hiking 4 mountains in one day! Our aim was to go up onto Helvellyn, via Grisedale Brow, the Hole in the Wall and Striding Edge, and to make our way back down via Grisedale Tarn and the Grisedale Valley.…
