Bimbling down the auld Corpse Road with a view to a pint or two... Love a good walk, pubs, music, beer, art, cider, Leicester Tigers RFC, the Sooty Show. Occasionally packin’ a Vintage Camera…or two.

The supposed Sheela Na Gig carving, ‘hidden’ under the overhang of a buttress on the Church of St Peter, Empingham, Rutland. #SheelaNaGig
Vestiges of Pagan Britain. The village Spring is at a low ebb, I don’t know what this might mean. Must remember to throw a bent pin in next time I’m passing…
Arrived, via a quite difficult to spot Benchmark. Not the most challenging walk, but one of the more consistently rewarding as far as the beer is concerned. Nene Valley Simple Pleasures at the White Horse Stoke Albany. #BSkyBeer #Pubs #BenchmarkMonday
The other reason I don’t often go this way is eventually you run out of footpath and have to do a short stretch on a surprisingly busy bendy road…
I don’t usually go this way, too muddy in the winter, not so easy to follow in the Summer sometimes…
Taking the Little Italian Number out for a walk before it gets too hot. Landscapes, non-moving subjects, any Coo’s obvs’, a slow day with a cool camera, with absolutely no idea how much film is left after yesterday. #FilmPhotography #ShittyCameraChallenge #BelieveInFilm #VintageCameras #Walkies
A rare shot of @chuckmiddleton.bsky.social in sensible shorts, videoing the mighty massed pipers at Corby Highland Gathering.

Ivy, probably the No.1 obstacle to finding Benchmarks in the wild. #BenchmarkMonday
First runout for the Little Italian Number at Corby Highland Gathering. Everything went well when I remembered to transfer the Rangefinder distance to the lens, removed the lens cap, and didn’t accidentally knock the aperture wheel 😬 #FilmPhotography #ShittyCameraChallenge #CorbyHighlandGathering
My traditional pint of Extra Stoot in the Ex-Servicemens… a proper old-fangled “Take the top off that darlin’…” top-up pint… Apparently part owned by the members and Sam Smiths, the message from above is ‘no change’.
The cask Hobgoblin Gold not on, thank god! But the Cardigan have upped their game with the Murphy’s Stout… #HighlandGathering2026
Corby Highland Gathering tomorrow, so tonight’s the night to attempt loading some of this, into that, with the help of those… in the dark 😳 Dry run went reasonably well, this could work… #ShittyCameraChallenge 📷 Bencini Comet II 🎞️ Kodak 200 #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #VintageCameras

The Twisted Trout is a pub we didn’t stop for today, but I did pop my head through the door and I can confirm it’s definitely a Bass pub…
