Keen for a game of Snakes and Ladders? This one requires some ropes and climbing skills.
Outdoors
Enjoying the outdoors – Before it was forbidden
Bouldering at Simonside, England, before lockdown forced us all indoors.
An icy trail run
Since Southern Finland still has no snow, winter sports are off-limits. Luckily, we can keep doing summer sports, and head to the forest without snowshoes.
No destination – snowshoeing in Lapland
Ambling through a snowy forest in Lapland in midwinter when sun doesn't rise above horizon.
North Ridge of Tryfan
As the car crosses the Welsh border, I unfold my map. Lake District. Damn, wrong map. This one is going to be useless if I want to walk up Tryfan, a little 900m peak in North Wales.
Bothy full of joy – Lookout Bothy
Sometimes it is necessary to turn to plan B. We have to abandon our hopes of walking and climbing the Cuillin Traverse on the Isle of Skye but end up having a joyful and memorable evening in a lovely little bothy overlooking the North Atlantic.
On top of the UK – Ben Nevis
A promising forecast and an interesting hill is a powerful combination. It is time to walk up Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.
Busy and baffling Tongariro Crossing
20 kilometre Tongariro Alpine Crossing goes by quickly because the view is so great. In the end of the day, every single trekker is tired, happy and covered in dust.
Backroad to town
Forget the fastest route, take a nice scenic stroll in Stirling and stop by Cambuskenneth Abbey.
Winter in the North
HBO has copyrighted the phrase “Winter is coming”. How selfish is that? But then again, it seems like we do not really need that phrase as nowadays everyone seems to be just saying “Winter is late”.
