  • A local man carries tourism industry supplies downhill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With the heavy load on his back, supported in the traditional Himalayan manner of a head strap that steadies the pack, the man makes his steady way down the foothill using a long pole for extra balance. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • Two long boarders descend a hill on private road in Tregaron, Wales. During the downhill longboard races held on private land on a Sunday afternoon in mid-Wales, men and women of all ages try to dominate their mates and fellow-competitors in a series of heats throughout the day. The private road is steep and the racers need to angle themselves in order to negotiate the bend. Crouching low with a balancing gloved hand that scrapes the ground and wearing helmets and a Go-Pro camera on the top, the men whiz down past spectators to the bottom.

  • A middle-aged lady pushes a child through an urban park that has a high-rise tower block of flats as a backdrop. Seen from Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, South London, the woman may be the infant's grandmother (granny) and possibly helping the child's mother during an afternoon walk among autumn leaves that lie across the grass. There is a downhill slope and the lady holds on to the buggy in case it rolls down the hill. The flats behind are lit in winter sunshine, warm air rising from an outlet, with only the upper floors visible to outdoor pedestrians. Brockwell Park is a 50.8 hectare (125.53 acres) park located between Brixton, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill. Brockwell Hall house and its grounds were acquired by the London County Council (LCC) in March 1891 and opened to the public the following summer.

  • Children roll around the inside of Water Balls at the south London Lambeth Country Fair. A water ball is a large inflatable sphere that allows a person to walk across a water surface. The water ball is similar to a zorb (rolling downhill in an orb, generally made of transparent plastic), but this has only one layer and is designed for water travel rather than downhill rolling. The giant ball is usually two metres in diameter and has a zippered entrance to allow for easy entry and exit. It stores flat and weighs 15 kilograms. The best water balls are constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 0.6–0.7mm thick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_ball

  • High in the Nepali Himalayan foothills, an elderly woman is carried downhill by a relative for medical attention. On this mountain path that continues downhill to the nearest village, beyond which there is a road and transport to the nearest hospital, two men accompany the elder family member with overnight possessions. The old lady sits on a makeshift carrying chair that fits on to the back of a man who stoops under the weight of his human load. This area is known as the Annapurna Sanctuary in central Nepal, a popular trekking and adventure route to the highest Himalayan peaks. All transport to and from these regions is by mountain tracks like this and residents in the smallest villages travel on foot on by yak.

  • A wide landscape of damp hillsides and moorland as two cyclists struggle uphill uphill near a road landslide at the foot of Mam Tor in the in the Derbyshire Peak District National Park. The bikers have struggled up this incline near the Blue John Cavern, a well-known location where visitors can descend into the cave system, one of many in this limestone and gritstone region of central England. The white lines of the highway have split as the tarmac drops away downhill. It's surface has been undermined as if seismic activity has occurred, an earthquake destroying this route high up in the mountains. But this is area is actually stable geologically and the slippage is probably caused by bad foundations and by recent heavy rain.

  • Standing on the roadside are three British traffic policemen. It is snowing in the depths of winter and the three officers are watching on-coming traffic as it negotiates safe routes downhill in South London. Wearing yellow jackets of the early 1990s we see the traces of snow that fell across the scene in diagonal blurs. Cars of the era drive along roads that have succumbed to the snowfall, seemingly unsalted or treated with anti-snow grit. In the background a couple walk carefully on hazardous pavements.

  • Long boarder youth sleeps between downhill contests in Tregaron, Wales. During the lunchtime rest of races, on the top of a hillside of slate rock in this quiet mid-Wales hilltop. The young man with beard has pulled down the hood over his face to shield his eyes and so to aid his brief sleep. With fingers interlocked and on a softer patch at the side of the road/track, the man enjoys a moment of peace and tranquility.

  • Ancient Bronze Age path and former drovers' route from Scotland to London, at Scotch Corner on the North Yorkshire moors. We look southwards downhill, a muddy lane on the edge of the North Yorks Moors National Park. For thousands of years, since the Bronze Age but more so in the last few centuries, the hooves of horses and sheep were transported along this path. Those treading the ground, helping to bring trade, spread news, introduce ideas and technology. Also known as Hambleton Street - or Via Regalis, after the Roman era - the footpath is now used by leisurely walkers on the Cleveland Way.

  • A man walks beneath urban landscape of modern architecture at Broadgate in the City of London. Walking below large struts and support columns, the man makes his way downhill. Broadgate Estate is a large, 32 acre (129,000 m²) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. It was originally built by Rosehaugh and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s. The City is a major business and financial centre. Throughout the 19th century, the City was perhaps the world's primary business centre, and it continues to be a major meeting point for businesses

  • Pedestrians and large construction site on the corner of Wallbrook and Cannon Street in the City of London. As Londoners to and fro, we see the junction of streets in the heart of the capital's financial quarter - also known as the Square Mile - founded by the Romans in the 1st century. These streets still follow their medieval routes, with this section once a busy river Wallbrook tributary that passed downhill on its way to empty into the Thames. The construction project wiull be known as The Wallbrook Building in its own Wallbrook triangle. Minerva are the developers, coincidentally, the Roman Godess of  goddess of wisdom and sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy.

  • A couple walking downhill are silhouetted against autumn sunshine, against high-rise flats and Brixton Lido seen from Brockwell Park, Herne Hill SE24. Making their way towards the brown brick of the Lido and the brighter, more modern materials of the flats, we see a scene of partnership and togetherness, where people otherwise live isolated and anonymously in an inner-city like London. Brockwell Park is a 50.8 hectare (125.53 acres) park located between Brixton, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill. Brockwell Hall house and its grounds were acquired by the London County Council (LCC) in March 1891 and opened to the public the following summer. In 1901 the LCC acquired a further 43 acres (17 ha) of land north of the original park.
