    Getting up early in the morning to catch sunrises is beginning to be more and more difficult. The sun rises at around 5.30am now, so we have to be up at 4am.

    I love waking up early in the morning. The boys? Not so much. But it’s all worth it when we arrive at the location and get to witness a perfect sunrise.

    There are many great spots and many great walks in Peak District. We’re only just beginning to find them. Slowly and steadily, we’re expanding our horizon to discover new and exciting routes.

    We’re on a mission to try and discover more of Peak District. We’ve never been to the Northern part before so last weekend was a good time to visit. On a quick google search for Northern Peak District photos, we found what seemed to be like an amazing sight called The Trinnacle. A formation of…

    Around the time we moved to UK, 4 years ago, we started looking around for good photo spots. Naturally, among the first we found was Winnts Pass. We’ve started taking photos there and continued to do so since then. It wasn’t that often, so don’t go thinking we were there every weekend. But we have…
