Had a quick wander up Carn Aosda & The Cairnwell today, beautiful autumnal day. Warm in the ☀️ Great to see lots of people out enjoying it all. #munros #autumn #hills #Glenshee #scotland 🥾

Cairn near summit of The Cairnwell, avoiding the masts, buildings & other detritus.

214th Wainwright today, special one with the finish to the day, Birkhouse Moor and Catstye Cam fished me off, but went up Swirrel to Helvellyn. 44 years since I touched that trig with my old fella Ralph when I was 11, this one's for you old lad, hope you were looking down ♥️

Munro #67 Ben Vorlich - in the cloud from 600m and felt like someone was power washing the summit when I got there! Rain & 30-40mph wind. Now pitched up having tea 😋👍 #munrobagging #munro #scotland

Surely you would vote green as I assume you support the bulk of their policies and indy currently, is only one. The big threat from reform to us all is imminent, indy is still a way away and there will be much debate and a referendum at that time.

Kerlingarfjöll - the colours, the light, the stillness

The quiet power of these mountains reminds me of what´s worth holding close to your heart.

A softly shaped mountain landscape in different shades of brown with small patches of green moss scattered across the slopes. A beam of sunlight falls on a small area , while the rest lies under grey clouds. The light adds a gentle contrast to the scene.

Ran through the night on Saturday pacing a friend to their first 100 miler. Felt special. This is the view from Redcar as we made our way south along the North Sea coast.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.

They would make hundreds of billions from this.

That is what they want.

My latest blog post on the Scottish Greens' new assertive independence strategy and the agreement between the SNP and Believe in Scotland

In August I went up to the Cairngorms for a 2 day hike in the mountains. Excellent warm weather helped make it a memorable trip, accompanied by a friend (pictured) who is well on his way to becoming a fully qualified Mountain Leader.
