Twenty Trees Hayfield under a Brooding Sky.
Twenty Trees is one of Hayfield’s notable landmarks. There are in fact only 19 trees now, as one of the trees was cut down in 1944 to be used for a farmer making gate posts.
This photograph was taken shortly before the clouds released their rain on said trees.

Sometimes things look better in Black and White.
I’ve added a new gallery to showcase my current passion, which is black and white photography.
A couple of my current favourites below. They look great printed BIG.

Lantern Pike Dash Fell Race 2009
This is a great little race. A 1.2 mile out and back from Little Hayfield, that ascends and descends Lantern Pike’s steepest side.
The junior race is shorter, but still quite a challenge for at least some of the youngest runners.
I’m proud to say my lad has now completed his first fell race, aged 4.

Mount Famine Fell Race 2009
I’ve run this race a couple of times. Quite a toughie.
One of those sunshine and showers days, which I guess is nice for running in, but awkward for getting good pictures. Anyway I’m quite pleased with the ones I got. Some of the runners heading over the summit, and some on the steep descent, heading back towards Hayfield.

Hayfield May Queen Fell Race 2009.
The first of the “Three Days in May” race series.
The race starts and finishes in the May Queen Field with a visit to the summit of Lantern Pike.
Only a few pictures here as I was race sweeper.
