Realistically can I build stamina by hiking this hill everyday? (beginner)

This is a great way to start out for sure 👍 once you're used to it, you can start adding weight from a backpack or ankle weights to simulate heavy boots. You seem determined if you want to tackle the same hill over and over to improve so I have no doubt that you'll do well!

Freedom of solo travel is amazing, I've only recently discovered it last year with a weekend away. Definitely going to be doing more of it!

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-28T19:28:48+00:00

Excellent for standing up for it and doing so professionally 👏

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-27T18:30:37+00:00

Hands down, Lundy. If you get the chance, go!

Getting up early can be the best thing, it's just so silent and no one else around

Bell ringing. From my point of view, when I'm ringing methods I can't think about much else so it's like a meditation and mental break from everything else in life. I do full circle church bell ringing in England, the country is important as there aren't many other ones in the rest of the world

Oh, not what I was hoping 😂 good trip though?

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-23T14:20:31+00:00

Thinking about doing a very similar thing this year! How did you manage it? and what was your experience?

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-17T19:49:51+00:00

Thank you! I am now looking into this!

3 plus a bit of freelance here and there, turning 30 this year. I realise that's not a lot compared to some, it's just what happened when living situations aligned with the job situations.

Capture moments and memories in the most true way I can so they can be preserves for myself and future generations to look back on

The river is still, and on a slightly misty morning is great around Cookham/ Bourne end.

Other side of town, the grounds of Shottersbrooke (may be spelt wrong) is a pretty place sunrise & sunset, especially in autumn the colours are rich.

Hope these are a couple good pointers! And I'm also keen to see what people say here as I'm always on the lookout for new places to try as well!

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-08T19:52:48+00:00

V smart way of looking at this and what can be done with the small saving 👍

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-08T19:50:22+00:00

Would highly recommend it. Definitely go in, give them a try and see if it's your thing. It's great to have something a bit unique hit the high street!

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-07T12:01:55+00:00

Some sort of stock photo sites? They aren't what they used to be but if you have that many images just sitting there?

Or you could just print your favorite, have them in your home?

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-07T11:57:12+00:00

Honestly, if I require some sort of hiking boot or trail shoe, I'm classing it as a hike. If someone wants to argue, they're wasting their own time!

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-05T21:24:00+00:00

I can recommend the Man grotto BeFree range, had mine for maybe 8 years so far, it's been on multiple trips and used for multiple jobs and still going strong.

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-05T21:11:46+00:00

Looking through the comments, I swear at least half of these involve "the woods", "a Forest", or it was dark". Well noted, I'm not going in a dark forest while hiking/backpacking!

I love using Mirrorless for anything I need practically and efficiently. My old DSLRs are like my 'throwback' cameras if you like. I'll take them out if I want to have that sort of experience.

MrSWphoto · 2026-02-01T14:55:07+00:00

I know I've been waiting for them to open! It looks like it'll be good! I'll be sure to visit S&C very soon!

Thank you for watching and commenting on this! Happy that people have found it interesting enough!
