<\/div>

Steven Watts never set out to become a hit on social media or a published photographer. However, a chain of events triggered by the start of lockdown saw him take on these roles.<\/p>\n

Already a veteran fundraiser, Steve became a source of inspiration throughout the country through his passion for his Lakeland home and his dedication to raising funds for good causes, including the Tony Hudgell Foundation. Solopress was proud to play a small part when it came to launching Steve\u2019s book, A Year Like No Other<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life by the Lakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A keen fell runner, Steve had decided to move to Grasmere in the Lake District from nearby Troutbeck, where some of the UK\u2019s most dramatic landscapes would continue to be right on his doorstep. And then, two days after the move, the first nationwide lockdown was enforced.<\/p>\n

With great relief, and with a full appreciation of his magnificent surroundings, Steve set about his new life in Grasmere. But after a couple of days enjoying early morning runs amid the stunning scenery of his new home, Steve began to feel a sense of that he ought to share his experiences with others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought how lucky we were, and my thoughts went out to all those people living in high-rise flats or care homes \u2013 the ill, the infirm, all the single parents. So I thought about bringing the outside in through the lens by taking pictures and uploading them to social media.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Putting the outdoors online<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Steve settled into a routine of daily runs, all the while photographing the Lake District and posting his pictures to Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t long before the comments started flooding in, including this one:<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve your pictures are so special to me & are my daily tonic having lost my husband 2 years ago I suffered a stroke & am now wheelchair-bound, we had many happy times in the lakes, please keep posting!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With comments like these, how could he stop now? In fact, he hasn\u2019t stopped yet! At the time of writing, Steve has posted pictures for 568 consecutive days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A call from the BBC<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With Steve\u2019s photography gaining momentum on social media, it soon caught the attention of the BBC Breakfast team. They thought his posts were truly inspirational and asked if Steve could do a live outside broadcast from the shore of Grasmere.<\/p>\n

The interview went well and at the end, Steve mentioned that he\u2019d be keen to do something more with his photos. He put it out there that if anyone were to get in touch to help him publish them as a book, then all profits would go to charity. The result was an influx of emails offering help.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Messages of hope<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After trawling through the many messages, one from author Sarah Armstrong really stood out. Sarah had recently published a book called Go Tony Go<\/em> about Tony Hudgell, the young boy who had his legs amputated after being badly abused at 41 days old.<\/p>\n

Tony\u2019s story was one that Steve was already aware of. He\u2019d seen TV coverage of when Tony undertook a 100 step challenge that paid tribute to Sir Tom Moore\u2019s 100-lap walk around his garden. Following on from his 100 step challenge, Tony made the serious step up to walk 10km within a month. His intention was to raise \u00a3500 for Evelina Children\u2019s Hospital, where he had received lifesaving treatment as a baby. He ended up raising over \u00a31.33 million.<\/p>\n

Although Sarah\u2019s considerable writing skills were surplus to requirements for this image-led project, her connection to Tony inspired Steve to reach out. He offered to assist if Tony ever wanted to attempt to summit a Lakeland mountain (more on that later!), and made the decision to share any profits from the book between The Tony Hudgell Foundation and Evelina Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A turn up for the books<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After the BBC Breakfast live broadcast from the shores of Grasmere, Matt Lowe from Performance.io got in touch and offered to fund the publication of the book, allowing the idea to become a reality. The result is A Year Like No Other<\/em> \u2013 a beautiful book that forms a pictorial record of Steve\u2019s daily runs around Grasmere and the Lake District.<\/p>\n

Each turn of the page takes you further along a visual journey through all four seasons, offering a true reflection of Grasmere & beyond, come wind, rain or shine. Words can\u2019t do justice to these epic landscapes, but you can see Steve\u2019s images for yourself when you pre-order A Year Like No Other<\/em> here<\/a> \u2013 plus \u00a312.50 from the sale goes straight to the charities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Lakeland launch – and rave reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it came to the book launch for A Year Like No Other<\/em>, the Wordsworth Trust Grasmere provided the venue, and Roller Banners<\/a> from Solopress provided the backdrop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Solopress has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish,\u201d <\/em>Steve commented, \u201cfrom making that first contact to the point of delivery has been a 1st class professional service.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The book has been positively received by critics and the public alike, and the reaction on social media has been astounding, with comments like these pouring in:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beauty of your book brought tears to my eyes\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour photos are absolutely amazing\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour pictures are my daily tonic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meeting the Hudgells<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Steve recently had the pleasure of meeting young Tony himself, as well as the rest of the amazing Hudgell family. Steve was overwhelmed by the headway being made by the newly-established Tony Hudgell Foundation:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredible that other children will be able to benefit, having themselves undergone traumatic experiences & medical conditions similar to Tony! Giving hope where at times there was none, that\u2019s special.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
