Nicholas Livesey

Talentless and cowardly climber with a huge passion for the British uplands. Most at home on long easy mountain routes, winter gullies or just bimbling around the hills.

I'm also a keen writer and photographer...have boots, pen and camera, will travel!

Best Climbing Experience
They're all good but my best days have been in winter...The Aonach Eagach, Yr Esgair, Crib Goch and Left Hand Trinity were all days I'll never forget

About My Photography
Photography is a big part of my days out and I started taking it a bit more seriously when I got my Canon G12 in January 2011.

What I'm really into is golden hour photography. I love great light and dramatic skies and try to get myself in the right place at the right time which can make going out with me a bit of a pain!

I am also an Official Destination Photography Partner of 'Visit Peak District' - The tourist board of the Peak District and Derbyshire.

Currently using a Canon 7D with a 17-40mm L series lens.
