The wonders of Llangollen on a beautiful spring day. 🌞 If you’ve not had the pleasure of exploring this part of Wales and the Dee Valley go ahead and treat yourself. 😍 #DiscoverCymru #VisitWales #WalesAdventure #GetOutside #ExploreMore

Raving about Raven Crag ⛰️ Is this the Lake District’s best viewpoint? 😍 It is a short but very steep ascent that’s well worth checking out on your next visit to the Lake District, you won’t be disappointed. Save it for a sunset to see this magnificent view of Thirlmere. 🌞 Always remember to leave no trace, places should remain as you found them so others can enjoy for generations to come. 🫶 #VisitLakeDistrict #LakeDistrictHikes #GetOutside #LakeDistrict #VisitBritain

Did you want to see what I got up to in April 2026 in Photos? 📸 Well this photodump is for you! 2026 is absolutely flying by and April was a blur of a month with lots of fun life moments, work & play!

I can’t wait to return to the Lake District this weekend for some much needed H & R (Hike & Recovery) time. 😅 It’s not the Scotland trip I had planned but fuel is hella expensive at the moment and I didn’t really have enough time for a proper Scotland road trip anyways which probably would’ve left me more frustrated than anything plus these Nuttalls won’t bag themselves, so it’s all worked out right? Here’s hoping the weather gods are kind. 🌦️ Enjoy this collection of photos from some epic hikes in the Lake District, how many locations can you name? Someone has to know the first summit right? 🤔 #VisitLakeDistrict #HiddenCumbria #RoadTrip #GetOutside #LakeDistrictHikes

Anyone know any good spots for any bluebells that are still sticking around this year? 🤔 I loved visiting Roseberry Topping at different stages in the season last year. 🌞 Photo of me by @alljustpaul 📸 #Bluebells #Spring #ExploreBritain #YorkshirePhotographer #GetOutside

Today I celebrate my 32nd birthday! 🥳 31 was a funny olde age, and a rather challenging but epic year! It had some wonderful stand out life moments and it naturally ended stressful but strong! I’m just so thankful to be mostly injury free this birthday. 🤞🤣 Here’s to all 32 may bring! It’s looking like an interesting one so far as I try to balance my hiking lifestyle, work and owning a home. A challenge I’m truly grateful for and thankful to everyone that’s stuck along for the ride in this year of change. 🌞 Plenty more hikes on the horizon but for now enjoy these photos of me from the last year of my adventures. 📸 Shout out to my wonderful photographers… Slide 3 - @alljustpaul 📷 Slide 8 - @we__roam 📷 Slide 13 - @trigsandteeth 📷 And the rest are mostly shot by @1hannahmitchell on our many adventures together or Drone! 📷 Any must do hikes that you recommend for my 33rd year? 🤔 #ExploreWithBrendan #GetOutside #NeverStopExploring #UKAdventure #BirthdayCelebrations

Just come back from a great PR trip in the Lake District to celebrate the launch of @lowauk ’s Explorer boot! Such a beautiful few days for it and Martindale was a stunning part of the Lake District to test a boot like this! I can’t wait to share more. 🥾 #GetOutside #HikeBritain #VisitLakeDistrict #HikingBoots #ExploreUK

15 more Trigs to continue the celebrations for its 90th birthday! 🥳 How many can you name? Guess the most correct to win a prize! 🏆 #TrigBagging #GetOutside #OSChampions #HikeBritain #VisitBritain

A birthday bash for a lump of concrete. This is how we roll! 🔼🥳 Huge thanks to @ordnancesurvey for sponsoring this event and letting me organise this wonderful event! What a day we had 🥹 A group of beautiful like-minded people came together to hike, celebrate and learn a bit of history. Whernside made sense for the location for me for 3 reasons: ✅️ A primary trig pillar ✅️ The highest point in Yorkshire ✅️ The epic views Thank you to everyone for making it such a joyful and memorable day! 🥾@sameed.asghar for support leading the group 📸 @explorewithbrendan for capturing the memories 💚 the wonderful participants for the excellent company 🔼 and @ordnancesurvey for sponsoring the event and for making trig pillars! #PaidPartnership #oschampion #OSmaps #trigbagging #hikingcommunity

Did you know the humble Trig Point turns 90 today? 🔼 Built to aid with the retriangulation of Britain, the first of these was built in Cold Ashby, Northamptonshire, on April 18th, 1936, 90 years ago today. 🥳 So the next time you bag a Trig be sure to celebrate it as a great piece of British history not just something near / on the summit of a mountain / hill and if you find one that’s in a random place it potentially had a view towards another a Trig Point once upon a time. Although many of the original 6,500+ are now lost. 😅 What’s your favourite Trig Point? It’s hard for me to choose so here’s 20 photos of them that I’ve captured in my time bagging the hills and mountains of Britain. 🇬🇧 Let me know how many of these you can name…the most correct answers wins the final copy of my 2026 calendar. 📆 #GetOutside #OSChampions #TrigBagging

I’ve been a little absent on this app as of late but with good reason! 😅 Life’s been rather busy and myself and @1hannahmitchell have been managing our personal and work schedule’s around renovating and decorating our first home. It’s been a wild ride so far but we did get the chance to explore a new area to celebrate 4 years of knowing each other in amongst all that recently. 🥳 I’d highly recommend this part of the North Pennines if you don’t want to see another soul all day while hiking. However you may encounter some bad boy racers on the road when you drive here on a weekend, lots of none hikers about. A fun mix. 🤣 The bog is strong but our hearts are full and it’s always great Nuttall Bagging when the sun is shining, even if we did experience all weathers on this day. 🌦️ Enjoy these 20 photos from a near 6 mile hike bagging: Bellbeaver Rigg, 620m ✅ Viewing Hill, 649m ✅ Any recommendations on where we should go to bag some Nuttalls next? 🤔 #GetOutside #NuttallBagging #NorthPennines #GoExplore #HikeBritain

My March 2026 in Photos 📸 March didn’t have much spare time for hiking as life and work was very much taking up a lot of time with 3 stag do’s and 2 weddings photographed but I managed to have some great times with friends, family and captured some beautiful memories for myself and others. 📷 Nevermind trying to get a house ready to live in with all the fun costly things that come with that! It’s tough but we relish a challenge and feel very privileged to have found something that works for us with all the uncertainty of the world right now! Hopefully we can be moved in sooner rather than later for the sake of our bank balances @1hannahmitchell . If anyone would like to help us paint we need you. 🤞😅 Here’s to april and all the joy it may bring...🥳 2 new Nuttalls and 1 Ethel bagged this month. ✅ Be sure to swipe through as the locations and descriptions are on the photos in the carousel.
