A familiar array of “adventures” which I feel fortunate to regularly enjoy.
Making more of an effort to publish moving pictures, including one from Dartmoor in June.
The final resting place of a beloved character from the Harry Potter series of books and films.
Walking into the middle of nowhere from the heights of the Furka Pass.
Walking in the snowy landscape of Axalp, high above Lake Brienz in the Swiss Bernese Oberland.
Aerial views of a flooded glen in the wilds of northern Scotland, with low water levels exposing the old road.
Living in a land-locked, mountainous country can be hard when you love the seaside, beaches, caves and coastal nature. Luckily, Scotland abounds in such things, and we took the opportunity to spend a couple of hours at Lunan Bay when we visited Angus in July.
My only cable-car trip into the high Alps this past winter season was in February. Webcam confirmation of a fabulous cloud inversion encouraged me to get into the mountains after a long abstinence.

Schilthorn Piz-gloria is one of my favorite places to ski because you’re always above the clouds and the skiing is so beautiful. Words cannot describe the…
