Back in the Lake District, but where is the snow? Quite a change from last month, but just as beautiful 🙂

A stunning but cold day on the Fairfield Horseshoe. Here’s wishing all regular hill goers the opportunity to get out there whilst it lasts!

A couple of days up in Scotland over Christmas. Weather actually not too bad but disappointing lack of snow.

So far all my posts have been work related, but occasionally I get up a hill.
Just for a fun challenge can anyone name these trig point summits?
I reckon 2 correct, would be a good score!

Progress on 3D visualisation of Bradford’s Southern Gateway created using UAV photogrammetry.
1:1250 ‘PARM’ used to display a wide range of geospatial data as part of MHCLG funded Proptech4 project.

At University of Bradford this afternoon as part of our DLUHC Proptech3 project.
A creative session exploring projecting drone imagery and data (including the possibility of near real time!), onto 3D printed models of Saltaire World Heritage Site.
Really great way to engage politicians and public!
