A collection of my favourite images from 2016

You may have noticed that 2016 has been very quiet with regards postings on my blog. I've been outdoors more than ever this year but conditions and the fact I've been on quite a few trips with a friend means that I've struggled with images and/or writing of the blog. I therefore decided to post some of the best images from this years camps in and around the Lake District, Wales and the Peak District. Winter is fast approaching and I'll have a bit of time off during the festive period so my pack is ready to go and my fingers are firmly crossed ;-)
