I worked as a freelance writer and photographer from 1995 until I retired in 2015. My features appeared in The Times, Independent and Express, as well as in numerous magazines and the regional press.

Besides writing general features and walking guidebooks, I produced leaflets, annual reports and in-house magazines for public sector organisations and charities. Over the years, my clients included the Campaign to Protect Rural England, English Nature, Ordnance Survey, and the Environment Agency.
