ABOUT ‘THE HIKING PHOTOGRAPHER’

The stuff on this website is the work of one fella – me, Stuart Hodgson. I’m passionate about the great outdoors and want to encourage others to get outside too, so I share my favourite walks and adventures to help people, whatever the ability and experience, to plan their own adventures.

This website is just a hobby I do in my spare time (for the love of it – not to make money) so you’ll notice there aren’t annoying invasive ads all over the place (which I hope you find refreshing!) I’m happy to say the blog gets over 20,000 visitors a month and I hope you find it of use!

I don't have those annoying ads on my website to keep it user friendly (so don't get any ad income) If you've found this site useful and want to give a token of appreciation - you can make a small donation via 'buy me a coffee' to fuel more blogging and help towards website running costs (which I pay out my own pocket as it's just a hobby).
