Well. So. By way of explanation, I live in the far north west of Scotland, but for reasons too convoluted to explain I regularly travel to Essex to work on my boat. Stopped off at Barnard Castle today πŸ‘‡ (Old gag alert.)

Could life get any more glamorous than this? (You really don’t want a pic of me in my oilies.)

INCREDIBLE !!

Here we are... 😱😱😱

After days of overloading and cracks propagating, Birch Glacier collapsed today at 3.24 pm over Blatten and the dammed Lonza river...

Devastating! 😭

I could not be more dismayed at this. For Christ’s sake. It’s a bloody brick! There is no reason for not legislating. This says a lot. The only possible explanation here is profit. Profit, however small, comes before all else. Please email your MPs (see @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.socialβ€˜s post.

NEWSFLASH: Legal Right to Wild Camp on Dartmoor Upheld by Supreme Court In a landmark case, the Supreme Court has upheld the legal right to wild camp on Dartmoor, thus ensuring the continuation of a tradition unique to the area, whereby wild camping is allowed.

Should never have needed to go to court. www.ukhillwalking.com/news/2025/05...

Does this raise the possibility of books narrated by those no longer with us? Audrey Hepburn, Lawrence Olivier, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Burton… Asking for a friend.

Fond memories, from the days before bouldering was a thing, when it was barely one level up from pissing about.

Not so long ago, near Loch Quoich. They were definitely off somewhere, but weren’t about to explain.

This, seen out walking in North Yorkshire limestone country, is an entrance to a cave system. All a bit mad if you ask me. But I’m claustrophobic.

We are indeed, all stories (in the end).

Knitting in Ripon, North Yorkshire today. (Yeah, yeah, I know, a bit random. But a lovely surprise all the same.)

Good to see you on BlueSky Steve. I missed your posts after I (too) left Twitter for the same reason.

Near Brimham Rocks, Yorkshire. Reminds me of the heathlands of Surrey around where I grew up. But with rocks.

On the way home to Scotland from the south of England we diverted to Nidderdale to see a friend yesterday. Decades since I walked remote Yorkshire. It’s a lot more wealthy than it was. And just as gorgeous.
