CONTRIBUTED BY BARRY WAKELIN

Oxendale & Langdale from Crinkle Crags

Barry blames his wife, Liz, for his infatuation with The Lakes - "When I met her she lived in Lancashire (whilst I have always lived in Hampshire which is a bit of a handicap for Lakeland visits) and was a keen fellrunner and long distance walker. At the time I did none of these things but from my first visit to The Lakes I was hooked and I now run, mountain bike and enjoy long distance walking events"

Crinkle Crags & Bow Fell from Lingmoor Fell

They try to get to The Lakes four or five times a year, their daughter, Katie, bagged her first peak under her own steam when she was 2. Now 9, she's a seasoned fellwalker with more than 120 Wainwrights ticked off!

The Langdale Pikes from Lingmoor Fell

Barry has been seriously studying the art and techniques of landscape photography for the last 15 months since buying a Fuji S2 Pro digital SLR, ostensibly for astrophotography. "I love the immediacy of digital and the vibrancy and lack of grain of the images I can capture with this camera."

Drumlins at Stake Pass

"My style, if I have one, is all about capturing colour and light, to give a feel for the landscape as I saw it and more importantly felt it at the time. Many times I am capturing fleeting instances and it is this coming together of conditions that differentiates the shots I continue to enjoy and those that are merely satisfactory"
