He is a regular visitor to the other lakes, and pursues his hobbies across the UK. His other interests include the Scottish islands and local shipping, and the industrial archaeology of the Lake District, especially the mines, quarries, gunpowder mills and Cumbrian railways.

Born in Bury, his interest was kindled by visits to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, and he later worked for British Rail in Barrow. After spending many years with ferry companies on the south coast and in the Isle of Man, he returned to the rail industry, where he now works for Network Rail. He has written three books with Peter van Zeller including Rails round the Cumbrian Coast, and has contributed to a wide range of publications on the ferry industry.
