Embark on a leisurely walk to West Loups’s Abandoned Farmstead on Cotherstone Moor, accessible via a public footpath. Note that this area, part of an active Army Firing Range, requires caution with red flags. The ruins at West Loups’s, rich in history, offer insights into past settlements and army training remnants. Prehistoric rock art and scenic views complement the walk, but visit only during safe, flag-free days.

A selection of images from the camera of Andy Beck taken during the month of May 2022. With the show season now upon us my chances of getting out and taking photographs and sketching is rather limited. May was spent building up a stock of products for these shows. I…
A selection of photographic images taken by Andy in the month of April 2022 Spring certainly arrived this month. The grass began to grow and the flowers burst into life. Swallows arrived back from their winter away and they began to refurbish their nests. We don’t travel quite as far…
