I am a keen walker and a regular visitor to the Lake District and North Wales, those being the nearest mountain areas to my home in Lancashire. I contribute to several blogs related to hiking and the outdoors and have written 3 travel books "Tales from the Hills", "31 Days in a Campervan" and "A Long Walk in the Alps". My other main interests are cycling and outdoor photography and I will be uploading more photos to Peakware whilst more of my efforts with the camera can be seen on my blogs. Thanks for visiting.

Summit view from the Oberrothorn looking northwards towards the Mischabel peaks with the Mattertal on the left. - Mont Buet

Photo by Pete Buckley
The Breithorn seen from the Klein Matterhorn summit. The normal ascent route heads across the Plateau Rosa and climbs the right hand side of the peak as seen in the photo. - Breithorn

Looking roughly west from the summit along the ridge which forms the last part of the normal ascent route via Plateau Rosa. The peak directly ahead is the Matterhorn. - Dale Head

Photo by Pete Buckley
Looking north west to Skiddaw from the approach to the summit of Great Dodd. Around 50cm of snow had recently fallen at high levels - January 2012. - Blencathra

Photo by Pete Buckley
Pen yr Ole Wen seen across the Ogwen Valley from near the top of the Cribyn Ridge on Glyder Fawr. The direct route up this side of the mountain from Ogwen Cottage (the youth hostel) is a rough and challenging scramble. The best way up is from the eastern end of Llyn Ogwen via Ffynnon Lloer and an interesting but easy scramble up the eastern ridge of the peak. - Schreckhorn
Photo by Pete Buckley
The Schreckhorn is here seen from the path to the Schwarzhorn from First above Grindelwald. This route to the Schwarzhorn ends with an exposed scramble but the Schreckhorn is reckoned to be among the most difficult of the Alpine 4000m peaks. - Cader Idris
Photo by Pete Buckley
