Hi Lucy, Gee, I was just looking at the Zim forum for e-mail addresses so I could send a few e-mails when the website is down tomorrow night and I looked at your profile and saw the website. What beautiful pictures. It makes a person feel like she's there with you. Thanks for sharing. Now you have given me an idea to do my own website with all the pictures of Oregon and the ocean and my dogs. Mary

Hi, I work for a charity www.backuptrust.org.uk and we host an event at Queen Elizabeth Country Park http://www.backuptrust.org.uk/fund_chall_ramble.html I need to promote it this year and wanted a photo of Buster Hill. I googled and found you! Could we use your photo? If yes could you send us the original jpeg? The text surrounding the photo is; Buster Hill May 2003 The path towards the top of Butser Hill. I love these paths that are on grass where the volume of feet has been big enough to make the route clear but small enough to keep the path as grass. Thanks, Tom tom@backuptrust.org.uk 07799 263 449

I enjoyed looking at your photos, I found you whilst googling the capital ring and was surprised to see that you had walked the same stretch as us on Saturday! You went further though, we stuck to the stretch from South Kenton to Hendon Central. We were surprised at the ice, as was our dog! Glad to see other walkers are doing the ring and nice to see the pictures as we took fewer. Gemma

Came across your site by chance while looking up a business for sale in Marsworth. The pictures are fantastic and spent a considerable amount of time looking at all the places that I have also visited. Thanks so much for sharing them. phil_afc8@hotmail.com

Dear Stephen and Lucy I am workign with a team of people putting together a new exhibition for Anderton Boat Lift. I am trying to get hold of a high resolution picture of the lift at pre-restoration stage. Your pic of the lift marked up with colours is perfect. Do you have a high res copy of it? I need to have all images in next week so it might be unrealistic, but always worth a try! By the way, I also loved your pics of the dogs - we have a cavalier and I'm feeling very sad about having her spayed this week, especially since seeing your lovely pictures of the puppies!

Hello to Stephen and Lucy; popping in to wish you a Happy New Year for 2008 and to enjoy your latest photo albums and catch up on your numerous adventures since I last looked. Really glad to see the 'family' has grown with the arrival of Ellie's puppies. I was really glad to find your images of the historic 'Cutty Sark' from just prior to its disastrous fire, not having visited it for many years it was really great to find your album of what it had been like. Should you have occasion to revisit the Thames near Sonning, between Henley and Reading, you may wish to contact me for some tea and cakes, as I now live at Caversham Park, very near there. I thank you again for your permission to use your two wonderful panoramic photos of Kyrenia, which continue to feature on my website. Best regards to you, and nice to see George continues his awards success.

Enjoying the photos of the Capital Ring. I am a also walking the path and a little ahead of you - went from Harrow-on-the-Hill to East Finchley yesterday so not far to go now. You're right that section through Wimbledon and Richmond is excellent!

I'm pleased to say that your photograph, taken early last year, of the Thames Path ending at Coldharbour Point in "rickety gates" is now out of date! Today I was able to cycle from Rainham to Purfleet along the river all the way! It's a spectacular ride with impressive views of the river and the QEII bridge. I thought it would never happen but it has. Mike

Stephen replies: Oh, exciting! I shall have to go back one day and do it again. Thanks for letting me know. (P.S. I think you mean London Loop, not Thames Path.)

Dear Stephen and Lucy I have greatly enjoyed looking at your excellent web site. I own a hire fleet based on the Coventry Canal and am currently updating our web site. I would like to include your photograph of the entrance to Braunston Marina. How do I go about getting permission to use this image? Kind regards Elaine

You have a lovely photo of the Grand Junction Canal Co. sign: 2004-06-05-154247_small.jpg or 2004-06-05-154247.jpg I would very much like to use this image in a book I am researching pictures for. This is the New Oxford Companion to Law, to be published next year, and the GJCC is the subject of a famous case Dimes v Grand Junction Canal Company 1909. I would, of course, give full acknowledgement. My email is [edited] You have really made me want to explore canals!

Hi Stephen I have greatly enjoyed your website and been much encouraged by your London Loop pages.. Currently I am nearly completing the London Loop, and getting lost too often due to poor signage, and hopelessly lost in Hainault Forest. You mention using a gps in one of your reports. What model do you use, and do you use it for measuring distances, finding your way, or what? All I have is a Tomtom only really suitable for driving. Regards, Michael Lumgair.

Stephen replies: Hi. I use a Garmin GPS unit - previous the eTrex Vista, and recently the eTrex Vista HCx. You can get a good overview of most of what is available at http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/recreational-handhelds.html - some of the models have quite detailed and reasonably independent reviews. (No financial connection other than that they gave me a good price on the HCx!)

If all you want to do is check where you are and compare with a good map, then the cheapest model will do. Personally I use the Anquet digital mapping software (www.anquet.co.uk) and trace out my routes in advance, and transfer them to the GPS. This allows me to walk with (almost) certainty, know how far I've gone and have yet to go, and even to predict when I will arrive at my destination, which is useful as quite often I get my wife to collect me at the far end. It is waterproof too - as I can attest, having been wearing mine when I capsized a dinghy and thus had it under water for 10 minutes or so.

TomTom is wonderful for driving, but as you suggest not designed for cross-country walking. Particularly for those who haven't already invested in an in-car device (and who haven't also invested in Anquet digital maps for the PC), the Road Angel Adventurer 7000 looks worth investigating - it has separate applications for driving and walking, and it is also waterproof, which no other mainstream in-car device is.

Enjoy the rest of the LOOP.

Hello, Nice to see your photographs. You have however some confusion with the Thames path at Richmond and Kingston. The large red bricked house on the hill you call Ham house is actually the Star and Garter Home top of Richmond Hill. Ham House is a national Trust property, on low flat ground in Petersham. The picture of the “Riverfront and Kingston” is actually the riverfront at Richmond. The “boats for hire just below Kingston bridge” should be Richmond bridge. The train for Waterlook should be Waterloo, and I think you will find it is the Richmond Rail bridge you are showing which stands alongside Twickenham Bridge. When we reach “Kingston Lock” should read when we reach “Richmond Lock” There is no lock at Kingston. As I said very nice to see your photographs, and I enjoyed looking at your site. John

Stephen replies: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! I was obviously having a bad day when I wrote up that walk. The Ham House description was a definite mistake, misled by the guide-book, but one I ought not to have made. Apart from the "Waterlook" typo, the rest are effectively one error repeated, viz. using "Kingston" when I meant "Richmond". I don't quite know how that happened, especially so many times (I found one you'd missed!). Anyway, thanks for pointing out the mistakes, which I believe are all now rectified - much appreciated.

Hello there I have just looked at your amazing pics of your canal holiday. My husband, sister in law and brother in law will be taking off from Rugby on the 8 September on a Rose Narrowboat for two weeks. We were going to take the Avon Ring but have been told there is still a lot of debris in the loop. We now think we might take the loop shown in your site. However, if you have any other suggestions for around the Rugby area please let us know. Sent with kind regards from some fellow narrow boaters Denise Ward

I love your site. I enjoy walking but oftentimes sites and magazines tend to deal with walks for seasoned walkers. I can look at the photos and descriptions of your walks, feel inspired and head off feeling not too nervous about a particular hill or area. I've been up Shining Tor but never in the snow...hope it snows this Winter...Cheers, Shaun XX

Great site, love the London Loop section, just a quick note that the section that passes through Havering Atte Bower shows a picture of Roundhouse Farm, but the round building in the photograph is not actually the Roundhouse, it is a water tower that was build in 1934. The real roundhouse is 200 metres to the West of the tower. Hope this helps.......Adam

Stephen replies: Thanks for this - page updated accordingly.

Just read your London Loop info. Very useful, and we also find using a current Explorer Map invaluable. There is a distinct lack of signage on some sections. I hope to do a good part of the Northern section this August whilst staying in Walthamstow. Have you thought of doing the river Arun/Wey South Path/Wey up to Weybridge: (London's Lost Route to the Sea--well, to Portsmouth actually.) Free accommodation in Arundel. We've done the New River--you'll know it, and the Wandle (excellent). There is also a route from Gravesend south to the coast; (can't remember it's name). We also did the Hogsmill; Kingston to Ashtead and beyond. KEEP GOING -ITS GREAT! regards,

Stephen replies: Glad you enjoyed it. The route from Gravesend is the Wealdway.

Dear Stephen Dawson, I just discovered your website ;Route 12 of the London Loop! We did this at the end of May this year and it is even worse around Donkey Wood--now includes Giant Hogweed at the A312 and a serious "squeeze" between a high new fence and the abyss, to reach the A30. We gave up trying to find the next section by the railway line. I e-mailed Hillingdon council about the state of the path---do you have the correct contacts? I shall continue to read your adventures and we shall look forward to following some. Regards, Keith Lindow.

What an enjoyable afternoon you have provided me, allowing me to look at all of your beautiful photos. The landscapes were lovely and I especially liked seeing Ellie and George enjoy themselves. We are doing the Lake District, the Fort William area of Scotland and the Cotswolds this coming September. We are three senior citizens who cannot hike much anymore, but still enjoy driving around beautiful Great Britain. Two years ago we rented a canal boat and toured northern Wales, then went on to Northern Ireland for a bit. Our trip this September will be our 22nd to Great Britain. We really do enjoy it! Thank you again for the lovely pictures. Susan Little sbclittle@hotmail.com

Hi really enjoyed the photos & comments easter grand union canal. We have lived in Paddington W2 for best part of 45 years and so walked the towpaths round little venice, harrow rd, the basin arm at north wharf rd where my old father had his garage & yard also up towards the ha'penny steps on the way harlesden, anyway I wonder if you could please tell me is there a towpath walk from Padd to brentford?

Kind regards RP

Stephen replies: Hi. Glad you enjoyed the photos. Yes and no! There isn't a direct route, but the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal runs from Paddington Basin (next to Paddington railway station) through Harlesden, Alperton, Northolt and Greenford to reach the mainline of the Grand Union Canal at Bulls Bridge after 22 km (13½ miles), after which you can retrace my recent walk back to the Thames after a further 10 km (6 miles). So in total a 32 km (20 mile) walk compared to a 9.5 km (5½ mile) direct line (but more enjoyable!).

Thanks for the excellent canal photos. Walking the Grand Union Canal is an idea that won't go away. I just need some motivation. If you can provide some, please feel free.

Stephen replies: Hi. Perhaps the recent walk might help; you could also see the London Loop walks to Uxbridge and past Harefield; or the walk along the canal and Colne Valley Trail; or the walk around Marsworth reservoirs; or the visit to Stoke Bruerne; or a look at the Cosgrove Iron Trunk Aqueduct; relevant bits of a canal cruise from Gayton; or a cruise from Blisworth; or a cruise from Linslade; a day trip near Marsworth. A splendid idea for a varied and interesting look at rural lowland England.

Have just put your website onto favourites. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourselves. We are going for a second narrowboat holiday this year, I especially enjoyed your Spring in Chester as we will be that way and its good to get a look at the weather. Only wish I could bring my old pussycat with me. I share with you my magic. My Spatsy Catsy Pussycatsy poem:

I know a little cat Joey is his name
He'd like to come and live with me but he has another home
And Spatsy who's my catsy likes to be the only one.
So when Joey comes a visiting I show him to the door.
He looks at me reproachfully and says, "but I was here before.
This is my house, this is my garden, these are my birds to chase.
Those fish there in the pond are mine in any case".
My Spatsy Catsy's dozing, says, "Let Joey have his fun.
I don't care what he does so long as I am Number One!"

Thank you.

Regards, Melanie

We have been doing the loop since September and have only two walks left after this weekends - will really miss the adventure. Have greatly appreciated your photos which manage to make all the walks look pleasant even if they are pretty dire. Would strongly suggest that people neither start nor finish with the official start and finish walks as these are they!

Hi, I found my way to your website because I was looking for information about the Sparsholt ringing course, though when I looked through your site I failed to find a reference to it. Can you tell me if it's still running and, if so, who I should contact about it?

Stephen replies: Hi. The Sparsholt ringing course has been based at Wantage for several years now (and is thus now known as the Wantage Rining Course!). Although no event was held in 2006, I understand that there are plans to run it in 2007. You can find out some details an in particular contact details at http://www.wantage-ringing-course.org.uk/

Hi Stephen Just looking at the photos of your latest walk and wondered whether 'Wæcelinga Stræt' is the same as what I know as 'Watling Street' - the old A5 that runs through my home town of Wellington (Telford)? I'd never heard it called that before, or read an explanation of where it derives from - you learn something new every day! Hope you're both well. Debbie x

Stephen replies: Hi Debbie, Yes, 'Wæcelinga Stræt' is 'Watling Street', i.e. the road from Dover to Wroxeter in Shropshire (Viroconium). I hadn't realised that in my enthusiasm to convey information about the road's history, I'd neglected to mention the more modern name - I've made a small amendment to the page on the website. Many people think that Watling Street is the Roman name, which is not the case - indeed not the case with most named "Roman roads".

I love your pictures of the Lake District and other places. There is a picture that you had as an "introduction" to a trip to the Lake District. It is a bridge over the River Esk. But when I click on the link and looked for it, I couldn't find it.

Stephen replies: The link takes you to the first page of the two for that holiday - the second page, with the walk up Green Crag, has the bridge you mention. Obviously it has the potential to confuse (as it confused Jeff), but I generally try to pick the picture I like most or find most eye-catching, or most different from others on the home page, even if it belongs on a later page of the holiday or outing in question. I've added a link at the bottom of the first page of that holiday to make it clearer that there is another page.

Delighted to find your entertaining and informative website, before we set off tomorrow 9 Sept on our fifth section, from Harold Wood to the Thames at Rainham. Our dog is not as pretty as yours but loves both the walk and the trains. We started from our home at Elstree and are doing it more slowly than you, only about a day a month. You will pass our house on the section from Elstree station to Cockfosters, on Woodcock Hill (Barnet Lane) about a mile out of Elstree station on the north side of the road, on its own.

Stephen replies: You're the first London Loopers that have left a comment, so that was mildly exciting! I hope you had a good walk from Harold Wood to the Thames on Saturday - I found the official "end" was much better than I had been led to believe. I had a shortish walk on Sunday with the third of our dogs, reaching Hatch End, so assuming no changes of plan I will pass your house on the next walk but one (the penultimate!).

Hi, we run the Walnut Tree Inn, near Blisworth and saw your lovely picture of Stoke Bruerne and have put it on our website, hope you don't mind. Let us know If this is a problem and we will remove it and if not next time you are in the area pop in and have a drink on us! Regards Donald

Stephen replies: Hi. No problem - the photo looks good there. I look forward to that drink next time we're in the neighbourhood.

Like you, I had an unobstructed view from the back bedroom window of our house in Brooklands Avenue, Fulwood, Preston, across a farm and then rolling field, right to Longridge Fell, with Parlick Pike and Fairsnape to the left. It was often very beautiful. I cycled a good deal around there (Longridge, Chipping, Chaigeley, Trough of Bowland). Now there is a large housing estate where the farm and fields were, so that I do not imagine one can see anything of the fells nowadays.

Lucy Just been looking at the pictures of Ellie and the other dogs. Can't help wondering if there is some common parentage not too far back with our Jasper - see your picture 2005-08-22-113749_small and www.narrowboat.perangusta.com/images/gallery/dogs/13dogs.jpg I don't think you got to see him last year when we met at the Braunston locks. Are you still planning on doing the Avon this year? Keep on posting great photos. Regards Gillian www.narrowboat.perangusta.com

Stephen and Lucy reply: Lucy has responded directly to Gillian. Yes, we are doing the Avon ring this year with the same crowd. Should be good fun, and while a fairly long way for a week, is less than the Warwickshire Ring from Gayton we did in 2005. The two dogs do look quite similar - we've suggested Gillian checks out Ellie's pedigree. Further investigation shows that Jasper's grandfather Ch Mareve Indiana is one of Ellie's great-great-grandfathers. We also noticed that AKC Ch Hometown Ever Hopeful At Millhill, Henry's grandfather, is one of Jasper's ancestors, so Jasper is related to both our cavaliers. We've also now discovered that Gillian and Ian's other cav, Tristram, has the same great-great-great-great-great-grandparents as Ellie, so they are sixth-cousins.

Great photos, interesting places much to my own liking. Looking for The Wey and Arun Canal on web, come across your trip on the River Wey & Godalming navigations. Yes Broadford bridge is a little low isn't it!! If you get a chance visit the Wey and Arun Canal. Loxwood a great place to start as they operate a boat trip from here, and a good place to see the main restored section. They are building a new lock right by the road at this point to get the canal under it with in the near future a new bridge. Youd make some fairly interesting photos here as is a quite scenic place. Their website case you don't know is www.weyandarun.co.uk for more info. We could do with some more great photos like the ones you take for other people to see what they're missing!! Anyway happy travels, and keep up the good work.

Stephen replies: Yes, that's one of those places I've meant to go to for a long time, but not quite got around to. I've been following the steady progress with the restoration efforts, and it would be great to go and see for ourselves.

Thank you for the canal pictures. I was searching the internet for pictures of a top lock gate to add some detail to a watercolour painting I am planning of a lock cottage at Stoke Pound on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The printed photo I am working from has very little detail in the shadow area of the gate itself but your photos are fantastic. There are so many wonderful examples to supply all the detail I need.

Stephen replies: Glad to help. We will be taking our boat through Stoke next year on our canal holiday.

Superb site as I am a canal nut: I have a 42ft narrowboat moored at Gayton Marina on the Northampton arm of the Grand Union and live in Blisworth. Will you be visiting the bicentenary event for Blisworth tunnel on the 18/19 June? If so give us a look up as I am the harbourmaster for the event. If you need more details contact me and I will give you details of my boat and where I will be moored.

Stephen replies: Curiously, the day before Alan's message we had been at Gayton Marina returning our hire boat after our week on the Warwickshire Ring. Although we had considered going to the Blisworth Tunnel celebrations, with it being such a hot weekend (and with cricket on the radio) we ended up lazing around at home.

A great site and excellent photos. Can you please describe your camera? My wife and I are travelling to England in mid August for three months. For half of the time we are on canal boats mostly in the north but also 1 week in Wales. We are also going on a walking holiday and expect to see some areas like some of you Peaks walks. And will catch the Edinburgh Festival. Bye for now. Alan

Stephen replies: Most of the photos since February 2003 are taken with a Fujifilm FinePix S602. Those before then, and a few since, are taken with a Canon Powershot A20. The Fujifilm is rather bulky by modern standards, but it takes good pictures, and allows me the flexibility to do what I want with it, including adding a wide-angle lens or a simple filter or two. The large majority of the pictures are taken without these, however.

Great pics, Stephen and Lucy. Incidentally, you've got a piece of MS clip art on one of your pages with a Constable scene of Willy Lot's Cottage. I don't know how MS managed it, but it's been flipped horizontally. If you flip it back you'll see that it look more like the Constable painting. I'll be back for more canal pics. Good stuff.

Stephen replies: Thanks for that - Willy Lott's Cottage duly flipped! It's not an entirely canal-related piece of clipart anyway, though the Stour is a navigation (albeit unnavigable at present).

(Explanatory note: when I noticed the surge in traffic due to visitors looking for solutions to the Sunday Times quiz, I posted the following message on the Bude Canal page: "A warm welcome to all visitors doing the Sunday Times travel section quiz - thanks for making it by far and away the busiest day yet on our web site, and good luck in the quiz!")

The best thing would be to have a look on the American Cocker club website http://acscgb.tripod.com/index.html and that will tell you all about the breed and how to contact the secretary, and she will be able to give you information about breeders expecting litters.

Good luck and let us know if you find a puppy as cute as ours!

Have just spent the past hour cruising around your site and enjoying the photos. What energetic people you are! I am dreaming of someday soon coming to England to live on a narrowboat for a while and have a look at your beautiful countryside first hand! Thank you for such a wonderful and informative website!

Hello. Have just made ourselves late going out looking at your web site; got it from Grannybuttons. We have just ordered our own boat after many years of hiring we intend to become livaboards in 2006. We also had a Cavalier ( Shandy )so the dog pictures were also very much of interest. Is the web site of your own making? I ask because we would like to have a web site when we do the livaboard so our children and friends can see what we are up to, but do not have the know-how to set one up, so have been looking for some sort of package. All the best keep snapping.

Stephen replies: Thanks for your comments, and for the information about Granny Buttons. How exciting to be featured like that! Yes, the site is all of my own making. It is hosted by 1&1, who seem to offer the right balance between price and service and win all sorts of awards, and is created using Microsoft FrontPage - you can pick up the 98 or 2000 versions for good prices, including at Amazon.

Just found your site - from a canal link, but love the photos of your dogs. How do they like travelling on narrowboats - did you have to acclimatise them? We have 2 CKCS (tricolours) and are having a narrowboat built. We've never been able to take them with us when we've been boating in the past. We now have an added problem in that Tris has gone prematurely deaf - no possibility of him hearing anything under 95 decibels. Any tips would be much appreciated. You can check out our boat build if you're interested (www.narrowboat.perangusta.com) - no dog pictures yet.

Stephen replies: Thanks for your comments. The dogs love being on a narrowboat. The only real problem is that they also love jumping off as soon as the boat is near enough the bank, whether or not we want them too! I don't have any particular tips, I'm afraid: our dogs seem tolerant of almost anything to which they were exposed in the first few months of their lives, which included narrowboats. We do take a fold-up fabric crate with us so that when we do want to ensure they are under control, such as where we are operating a swing-bridge, or a lock by a road, we can put them in the crate for a few minutes to guarantee their safety.

I have just finished looking at your web site and I have enjoyed looking at the lovely pictures you have on show. I myself love taking pictures. I loved your pictures of the country side and the ones of your dogs. Being someone who moved from Scotland to the Isle of Wight I still believe Scotland has some of the best views, but seeing some of the pictures you have taken, the English countryside comes very close. Having my own falconry company I love taking pictures of my birds and I know how hard it is to get a lovely shot. I hope you keep taking lovely pictures and I will keep my eye on your web site.

I am interested in your Chester Canal trip. My ancestor was a lock keeper in Chester circa 1841/51. I wonder if you would have navigated the area where he would have worked. I have an address where he lived which according to an old map was close to the canal and basin and the canal from the Mersey. Hilary.

Fantastic Photos. You are so lucky to get about so much! How do you do it? What equipment are you using to take these lovely pictures?

Stephen replies: Thanks: glad you like them. Most of the pictures since February 2003 are taken with a Fujifilm S602Z; a few of the very close-up pictures of flowers etc. used a close-up filter to allow use of the zoom at close range while still focussing. Those before then were taken with a Canon Powershot A20.

Hi, I was very happy to get the information on the "Seven Wonders of the Waterways" on your site as the result of a search for information on the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. On holiday in Wales from Ireland last week, I had the opportunity to walk over the aqueduct - a great experience ! I am searching for a book or other form of detailed description of the construction of the aqueduct.

Stephen replies: Pontcysyllte is really quite impressive, isn't it!

I can recommend Thomas Telford's Temptation by Charles Hadfield (ISBN 0947712194) as an interesting overview of the construction of the Ellesmere and Caledonian canals, and in particular the story of the construction of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, in relation to which Hadfield suggests that Telford's contribution has been overstated and William Jessop's contribution hidden by Telford.

There naturally are short overviews in many more general canal books, but this is the most comprehensive I've seen, though there may well be others.

Hi again Stephen and Lucy, On a repeat visit to your site I delight again through your wonderful photos as an armchair-cyber-cotraveller ... I could just about taste the souvla with the rest of the family as well as enjoy the breathtaking view at the Last Castle (http://www.luphen.org.uk/images/2004/2004-07/cyprus/2004-07-21-141759.jpg) ... and felt myself sitting next to George and thinking "On a Clear day you CAN see forever" (http://www.luphen.org.uk/images/2004/2004-08/2004-08-21-113020.jpg) while being glad that the very wet August weather we had this year did give you a decent day for such great photos! Thanks again for allowing me to use some of your images from a previous visit to Cyprus. I'm so glad to see now that you liked the island well enough to want to visit there again with all the rest of the family this time! Oh, the blueness of that sea and sky, those watersports (waterskiing was always my favourite during our family's years in Kyrenia, and catamaran sailing was one of my dad's faves) ... and glad to see how much Robyn and Matthew enjoyed the swimming pool! As one who appreciates the hard work you put into sharing all your photos with us in the rest of the world (not to mention the amount of storage space it must take to hold them all on your website) ... many appreciative thanks indeed!

Hi Good site especially as I first opened Bluebell Railway - which I lived near up to 18 months ago. Now near Carlisle in Cumbria. Do you, or do you know of anyone who would do handbell ringing at a Christmas Lunch on Jan 9th for a group of about 20 at Armathwaite between Carlisle and Penrith Thanks, Christine

Stephen replies: You could try the Carlisle Diocesan Guild or Handbell Ringers of Great Britain - good luck!

Hello, Stephen and Lucy! My name is Slava (the reduced name). I am sorry, I not so well know English. I am from Russia and live in Saint Petersburg. I am the designer in the field of publishing and graphic design. I searched for photos of Cyprus and have casually got on your web site. Probably it little bit weak and not organized. But your photos are just magnificent! And many of pictures without ceremony can compete to professional photos! I with the great pleasure and long examined them. I frequently should use different pictures in the work. In it I well understand and I can safely tell - good fellows! I see, that you like to travel. In our city many historical sights, the beautiful nature. Welcome to us. Your collection will be filled up with remarkable photos.  I Wish success! Slava.

trevrohinchliffe@blueyonder.co.uk First I must say that I loved the pictures you have posted on your website. As a child I walked throughout the Lake District, Cumbria national park area amongst others. The pictures brought back to me warm memories of cold nights spent on those hills. To the point: I'm considering another gaunt to the area. I am a student, currently studying web design, and am in need of some pictures, specifically of Henge's and stone circles for a website project i am undertaking. I would be most grateful for permission to use some of the stone circle pictures from your site. Finally I felt I should mention that access to your site stats are available to anyone who clicks the link. Thank you for the web site Trevor Hinchliffe

Stephen replies: Of course, Trevor got his permission. Not being a commercial organisation or in competition with anyone, I am relaxed about the web site visitor statistics being publicly accessible (if you can find them).

Hello, I came across your website as I was looking for photographs of canals in Yorkshire. Do you make these photographs available? I am trying to source some canal/ countryside photographs in the Ripponden area of Yorkshire. I noticed that your pages were copyright. Are these photographs available at a high res (300pdpi)? and what would the charges be. Thank you

Discovered your site following a search for "Kyrenia", and have loved ALL your photo collections, and spent a good few hours looking through the various albums (which is not enough time to do them justice). Fascinating to watch Henry and George grow, and delighted for you in the success at the competitions. Having spent a few years sharing a 40' narrowboat with a friend (though only pottering around the North London canal, while moored at Islington) I'd heard all about the Foxton locks and loved seeing photos of the many other places I'd heard about that you've visited. You have a truly amazing photo collection, with so many subjects of interest on your site! To return to the subject of the Kyrenia photos, they are of my home town which I've not been able to visit since I moved to London in '68 and so it was with a bit of a lump in my throat that I looked through your Cyprus visit album. I presume you won't mind my putting a link to your photos from my own website as I have also been doing some photo-albums on various subjects at http://aspects.cjb.net

Stephen replies: Thanks for your very flattering comments. Please feel free to include a link.

I do not wish for a reply - I'm sure you must have FAR too much on your plates to be bothered with that ! I REALLY enjoyed navigating your superb site -- so many tremendous photographs. My favourite photo was that of the Lancashire fells spanning from Parlick in the west to Totridge in the east. That view alone , which is never "truly" represented in any of many photos I've seen, must have been worth that monumental £2.99 flight from Stansted to Blackpool! I STILL can barely believe THAT price! Quite apart from the name "Sykes Fell" which you so interestingly pointed out has been known to be given to this entire range of highland, so prominent from M6 and M61 motorways when driving north through Lancashire, I can testify to the fact that locally, the "apparent ridge" is well known variously as "Bleasdale Fells", "The Trough of Bowland" (which actually runs BEHIND it) "Longridge Fells", "Preston Hills" and "Fairsnape Fells". I was actually born in a house with a view of these fells from the bedroom in which I was born , and have walked all over them many times. I scan the area almost every clear night through the best binoculars and spotting scope money can buy -- all of which I bought specifically by virtue of inspiration of the view. No photograph I have seen comes even close to doing justice to the beauty , majesty and occasional (depending on the weather) sheer AWE of the appearance of this range. Congratulations on a truly WONDERFUL web-site, and finally, give George a little tickle from me! Kindest regards -- keep up your excellent work Kenny Jones -- Hoghton, Lancashire.

Stephen replies: I agree that capturing that view is very difficult - the enormity of the panorama doesn't lend itself to being recorded, but really ought to be experienced.

I noticed that in one of your narrow boat pictures you have got the ropes laying on the deck...... this is both hazardous to you and your dogs. I hope that in future you're more safety conscious whilst on the waterways. Sorry to be critical, you seem like a lovely young lady.

Stephen replies: Thanks for your comments, which we read with interest, but with which we disagree. The only hazard presenting any significant risk would be pushing the rope into the water and fouling the propeller, which would be more of a nuisance than hazardous.

Some very nice photos.... what camera do you use and how did you do the panoramic shot... especially like the shot at top of Leith Hill. Mail me g0mqg@callsign.net

Stephen replies: Thanks. Until February 2003, the photos were taken with a Canon Powershot A20. Since then, most are with a FujiFilm FinePix S602Zoom. The panoramic shots are sometimes just cropped regular photos, but the wider ones are stitched together using a program called Photo Stitch, which came with the Canon.

Which way is George facing on the jump photo from agility?! Wish we had a website like this but I never seem to take photos of the dogs so it would be a waste of time really.

Stephen replies: he's running from right to left. It is a bit blurred, I know, due to combination of the very low light and the fast movement. Alternatively I could claim that it is blurred deliberately, to give a sense of movement!
