Follow at your own pace

A little further from the everyday

## Leave a window  
open to the world.

This September, I’m walking through the heart of Offa’s Dyke country with my camera and sketchbook. From your desk, your favourite chair or a quiet corner of the day, you can come along.

Open the map. Wander through the photographs. Pause over a watercolour. See the places that stop me in my tracks, as the journey unfolds.

St Nicholas’s, Montgomery. A glimpse from my earlier visit—and a taste of the places waiting along the way.

The way north

## Follow the line.  
Find the unexpected.

Hill paths and old market towns. Churches, earthworks and aqueducts. A landscape where the stories of England and Wales meet, overlap and mingle.

1. 01**A map to follow**See how the places connect, then linger wherever your curiosity takes you.
2. 02**A photographer’s eye**Wide horizons, small details and the changing light—with photographs, watercolours and notes from the road.
3. 03**Your company along the way**Leave a comment, share a thought or simply follow quietly. You are very welcome.

The pleasure of looking closer

## There is always  
another story.

On an earlier visit to Montgomery, a chance turn led me from the streets into St Nicholas’s—and into a world of carved faces and half-hidden histories. That small thrill of discovery is what I hope to share with you.

For a taste of how a field journey unfolds, take a wander through my completed journey from Rudston to Lastingham.
